One of the most popular vacation destinations in Europe is on the East Coastline of Spain, and is located conveniently to other hot spots, Alicante and Valencia.  With many resorts and luxury hotels, Benidorm remains to be very well traveled.  Even in this economy, the rooms available on the island remained booked at 90 percent capacity all year round.  The central location is convenient for many Europeans as a quick getaway, being just a two hour plane flight from many of the major cities such as Berlin, London, Milan, Paris and Zurich.  Besides its central location, there is something for everyone on the beaches of this Spanish town, for those of every age.

Entertainment for children and for family vacationers can be found at one of the theme parks, of which 4 of the largest parks in Europe are found in Benidorm.  For the adults, there is a Casino that hosts international concerts and variety ensembles, and there is a wide variety to chose from for nightlife fun.  From cabaret shows, to disco clubs, and many live dinner theater and musical extravaganzas.  And for those seeking more fun in the sun, than the fun of the nightlife, there are many outdoor adventures, be it hikes or scuba diving and sailing off of one of the beautiful beaches.  And for a little more of a relaxing experience outdoors, there are many parks and gardens that are perfect for afternoon strolls.

The beaches of Benidorm, of which there are two major beaches, Levante and Poniente, are known throughout the country as some of the cleanest beaches of Europe.  They stretch for long expanses and the sand is an incredible shade of gold.  These beaches are credited with the continued success of the tourist industry, for they provide not only the pristine atmosphere perfect for those wanting peaceful and relaxing holidays, but the clear blue water is a great setting for any of the water sports offered by the many hotels and resorts, or for those simply wanting a nice swim.  This is one destination where one can escape to year round as the weather remains mild and sunny, even throughout the winter months.  There is no wonder that Benidorm has become the favorite spot for European travelers.
