| The beauty of Benidorm
is in its diversity. A huge selection of accommodation,
gastronomy & entertainment is on offer whatever
your likes/dislikes, whether you are young/old. There
are few places in Europe that will cater for all the
family, no matter what their interest, but this is one
of them. Plenty of entertainment exists for all ages;
from sporting activities such as golf, tennis, athletics,
water sports, paragliding, go carts, sea fishing &
scuba diving, to rural attractions, cultural attractions,
a hedonistic nightlife (in places), & long established
classic dance scene (winter months).
Perhaps worth expanding on the winter scene is a favourite
amongst retirees seeking a mild climate to spend the
winter months, or to enjoy the dancing on offer. Many
Benidorm Hotels feature dancing events, offering different
styles such as ballroom, sequence & line dancing,
amongst others.
Those looking into a Benidorm holiday (or indeed a Spanish
holiday), are often interested in beaches. Benidorm’s
Beaches (although largely man made) are excellent &
very well maintained. Plenty of shopping opportunities
also exist, ranging from souvenirs, local goods &
handicrafts, to fashion items & modern shopping
centres.
Benidorm is protected by the surrounding mountains from
coastal winds, thus creating a kind of micro-climate.
Indeed it is well known for mild weather & enjoys
sunshine for in excess of 320 days per year. The sun
is at its hottest during the summer months, with temperatures
rarely falling below 30°C (86°F). Winters are
typically very mild with averages hovering around 18°C
(64°F). All this makes Benidorm weather a year round
attraction.
This part of Spain is also famous for its salt lakes
(salt is a major export). This has a major knock on
effect on humidity levels, & as a result the air
is much dryer than in other parts of Spain & Europe.
The low humidity levels coupled with a mild climate,
mean the WHO (World Health Organisation) have rated
this part of Spain one of the healthiest climates on
the planet.
