The project aims to raise 7.5 million euros through “Planes de Sostenibilidad Turística 2023”.

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. These measures come in response to the negative impacts of over-tourism in many parts of the country. The primary goal is to combat illegal vacation rentals and establish greater control and transparency in the sector. Picture: Pixabay Key Changes Mandatory Registration: Starting January 2, 2025, all properties used for short-term rentals, including tourist and seasonal rentals, must have a unique registration number obtained through the Ventanilla Única Digital (Single Digital Window).

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 ...

Benidorm's first skyscraper

The Torre Coblanca was the first block of flats in Benidorm to go up to 30 floors and a height of 94 meters. This building on the Levante beach is also the start of the towering building frenzy that still rages in the city to this day. Building ever higher has now become a household name in Benidorm. Picture by Harry Fabel The building was completed in 1969. The know-how to build taller buildings on sandy grounds was later applied to other buildings along coastlines in other cities such as Miami. The Torre Coblanca is still very popular today with many holidaymakers and permanent residents, mainly due to its excellent location on the beach and close to the old town. At the bottom of the building, there are still several small shops, restaurants, and service companies, just like in the early years of the tower. Picture by Harry Fabel Torre Levante took over the first position of the highest building in 1985 with 120 meters and 35 floors.
