| | General Information | | Benidorm , a sleepy fishing village 50 years ago, lies just over 35 miles from the airport of Alicante. Probably the most famous resort in the world, it sits below a range of mountains and has some of the best beaches in Spain if you like them sandy and very crowded. To the east is the fabulous Levante beach, all 1.5 miles of it, and to the west, the 2 mile stretch of the Poniente beach. With it's high rise hotel and apartment blocks, the resort caters for just about every taste young and old. There are no shortage of souvenir shops and an open air market to suit all pockets. Daytime activities include water-skiing, fishing and scuba diving, while the night brings an abundance of bars, amusement arcades, discos and even a casino. | | Local Food | | Like most of the popular European resorts, you'll find a huge amount of bars, pubs and restaurants here, serving every food combination you can think of. Plenty of fast food outlets give you the choice of burgers, pizzas and various fried chicken combinations with generous helpings of chips and salad if that's what you like. More traditional fare such as Sopa de Pescado (garlic stew with fish and tomatoes), Calderetas (lamb stew with almonds) and the fish specials Calamari (squid deep fried in batter) and Longostinos (giant prawns) are all worth a try. The local beers are as good as anything you'll drink back home and probably cheaper too. Wines and of course Sangria, are there to be enjoyed at every meal, and add to that the imported varieties and your drinking choice is endless. |
