Benidorm's First Large Shopping Center Finally Gets the Green Light

Plans for Benidorm's long-awaited first major shopping center have finally been unveiled. The project, undertaken by Unibail-Rodamco, will boast an impressive 58,000 square meters of retail space. Picture courtesy of Unibail-Rodamco Shopaholics rejoice! The center will house 121 stores, offering a diverse mix of shops, restaurants, cinemas, and even a hypermarket. Motorists will be well catered to with a massive 3,000-space parking complex, featuring a combination of underground levels, surface parking, and a designated sector area.

The disgrace of La Cala Beach in Finestrat

If you have ever visited La Cala beach in Finestrat near Benidorm you will have seen that there is a huge building still in scaffolding just in front of the beach. This building should one day become one of the largest hotels in Benidorm, hotel room-wise, unfortunately, the imposing building was never finished, and what's more, the works were stopped more than 20 years ago due to a legal issue. The original hotel would have too many floors and would therefore block the view of the sea from the buildings behind it. Something that today is otherwise little taken into account when you see the current building frenzy in the city of Benidorm. The land on which the Atrium Beach hotel, as the imposing hotel would be called, is built is owned by one of the largest hotel groups in Benidorm and the Balearic Islands. Picture by Harry Fabel The owner of the company was eventually ordered to demolish the hotel, but after years of legal discussions, the developers were fined hugely and ordered
