Benidorm: Europe's worst travel destination? A deeper Look

When we picture a European vacation, our minds often conjure idyllic scenes: winding Tuscan streets, rugged Scottish landscapes, or the historical charm of Bruges and Prague. But not every European destination scores equally high on beauty, tranquility, or culture. According to many, one place consistently appears on "disappointing" or "bad" destination lists: Benidorm , on Spain's Costa Blanca. But is it really as "bad" as its reputation suggests? Why the Criticism? Benidorm was once a quiet fishing village that transformed into one of Europe's most famous resorts in the latter half of the 20th century. The city has become a symbol of mass tourism , characterized by endless rows of high-rise buildings along the coast and an overload of tourist bars, snack bars, and karaoke joints. Visitors seeking authenticity, nature, and culture often leave disappointed. Benidorm replaces the charming Spanish atmosphere with a concrete jungle focused on cheap ...

Benidorm turns 700, Celebrates with book bench and packed schedule

Benidorm, Costa Blanca – The city of Benidorm is marking a significant milestone this year, celebrating its 700th anniversary with a series of engaging activities. Among the most striking initiatives is a unique bench crafted from over 700 books. This distinctive piece of urban art is prominently located on a major city artery, Avenida de l’Aigüera. The city's origins trace back to May 8, 1325, when Admiral Bernat de Sarrià signed an official document granting permission to establish a new town at the current site of Benidorm. The primary goal was to encourage settlement and defend against potential adversaries, such as pirates. Thus, Benidorm began its life as a humble fishing village. Picture: Visit Benidorm Over the centuries, Benidorm underwent a dramatic transformation. Initially, the economy was based primarily on fishing and agriculture. However, the 1950s and 60s ushered in a period of radical change. The then-mayor, Pedro Zaragoza Orts, spearheaded a visionary plan to tr...

Enjoy the sunset at the Balcony of the Mediterranean in Benidorm

The Balcony of the Mediterranean, also known as the Mirador del Castillo, is a famous viewpoint in Benidorm, Spain. It is on a rocky peninsula between the city's two main beaches, Levante and Poniente. Picture by Harry Fabel The Balcony of the Mediterranean has a rich history dating back to the 14th century.
