Benidorm, on Spain's Costa Blanca, is Europe's most popular holiday destination, but has suffered for decades at the hands of journalists who repeat the same old stories to heap scorn on the resort. The fact is, that most of these are simple untrue.
Benidorm has to import sand from Morocco to maintain its beaches. This little gem originated when a tour rep made a joke to his clients while on the coach bringing them from Alicante Airport to their hotel in Benidorm in the early 1970s. Unfortunately his comment passed into media history. The resort's seven kilometres of silky soft sand are absolutely natural, and the city actually supplies high-grade sand to a number of the local resorts. Benidorm spends more on keeping just its beaches clean than most cities do for all their streets.
Benidorm was a fishing village before the tourist boom.This is perhaps the pearl of all bad quotes and is still used on a regular basis. Benidorm never was a fishing port - the harbour is too shallow. But the history of the resort has always been linked with the sea. It provided the most skilled crews in the whole of the Mediterranean for the almadraba, the complex method by which tuna have been caught since Phonician times. It was also the source of many of the captains and crews of the Spanish Merchant fleet, whose experience of dealing with many nationalities during their travels worldwide held them in good stead when the world reversed itself and began to arrive on their beach front.
Benidorm is wall-to-wall high-rise apartments. In 1954 Pedro Zaragoza Orts, the then young Mayor of Benidorm, created the Plan General de Ordenacin (city building plan) that ensured, via a complex construction formula, every building would have an area of 'leisure' land, mainly gardens and swimming pools, guaranteeing a future free of the excesses of cramped construction seen in other areas of Spain. It is the only city in Spain that still adheres to this rigid rule, and if you climb to the top of the Sierra Helada, the promontory at the end of the Rincon de Loix, you get a stunning view of how green the city it and just how close it is to the mountains.
In Benidorm, with its population of... million Brits, you barely hear a Spanish accent. Put any figure you like on the dotted line because I've seen almost every number between a million and three million used. There are actually 463,704permanently resident expats of all nationalities in total covering the whole of the Costa Blanca, a stretch of coastline covering over 140 kilometres. Benidorm itself actually has very few permanent expat residents; they tend to congregate in other coastal towns. Altea is predominantly Dutch, Calpe German, and Torrevieja British. When the resort began its phenomenal rise during the 1960's, 70's and 80's it attracted workers from all over Spain, many of whom set up small regional communities in the city. It is, and always has been, the major resort for internal tourism (in the early 20thcentury it was known as Madrid's beach because of the amount of Madrileos who spent their holidays there - and still do), so, far from never hearing a Spanish accent, you can hear virtually every accent, dialect and language of Spain and Latin America.
I am a freelance journalist living in Valencia City, Spain, although my work takes me throughout the country. My work is pretty wide ranging, both in subject and geography, but my heart lies in Spain, which is where most of writing concentrates on. I've written two successful guide books to the Valencian region, on Spain's eastern coast, Inland Trips from the Costa Blanca and Small Hotels and Inns of Eastern Spain, as well as many articles for national and international press. While most of my work features the idiosyncratic side of Spain, I've also written extensively on wine, gastronomy and hotels.
