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.

Spain Tightens Regulations on Short-Term Rentals

New Rules for Short-Term Rentals in Spain: What You Need to Know Spain has introduced new regulations to govern the rental of tourist and temporary accommodations.

Benidorm Approaching 'Major City' Status With Nearly 75,000 Inhabitants

The popular coastal town of Benidorm is on the verge of reaching a major milestone, as it approaches the threshold of 75,000 registered inhabitants, which would grant it the status of a 'major city'. This recognition brings prestige and access to additional funding and resources for urban development. Picture by Harry Fabel According to the latest data, Benidorm currently has 74,663 registered inhabitants. The city needs only 337 new registrations to cross the coveted threshold.

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...

All you need to know about Benidorm

Originally, it was a tuna fishing village located on the Costa Blanca in Spain, kissed by the sun most of the year, with an ideal microclimate thanks to the protection of the mountains behind it and the Mediterranean Sea. Attracted by these exceptional conditions, in the mid-fifties, the first tourists from Northern Europe arrived and joined the national tourists, Benidorm decided to become one of the first tourist destinations. Picture: Harry Fabel The driving force behind the General Plan of 1956, which shaped the city as we know it today, was Mayor Pedro Zaragoza Orts. It was not easy, but he was a visionary. To remember the efforts made and the success achieved, the phrase De ilusión también se vive is carved in stone in the fountain at the end of the Parque de Elche. Even the illusion lives. Today, Benidorm is the first certified Smart Tourist Destination in the world. When you arrive in Benidorm, a municipality in the province of Alicante belonging to the autonomous community ...

British tourists warned of growing Anti-Tourism sentiment in Benidorm

Recent protests in the Canary Islands against the current tourism model, housing shortages, and the overexploitation of natural resources have significantly impacted the British press. Recently, the tabloid The Sun warned its readers that this climate of rejection of mass tourism could also spread to another major sun and beach destination in Spain: Benidorm. Picture: Pixabay The Sun, one of the most widely read British newspapers, has published an article warning that the protests against mass tourism in the Canary Islands could spread to other popular tourist destinations in Spain, such as Benidorm. The newspaper quotes Fede Fuster, the president of the local hotel association HOSBEC, who expressed his concern about the protests in the Canary Islands. According to The Sun, hoteliers in Benidorm have admitted to being very concerned about the growing anger among Canary Islanders.
