After visiting the wonderful city of Madrid, we made our way to Benidorm, which is on the coast of Spain. Due to the unique skyline formed by its many tall hotels and apartment buildings it is sometimes called the “Manhattan of Spain.”
I’m not sure I completely agree with that comparison. I would probably call it the “Myrtle Beach of Spain.” It was definitely a hopping place, with numerous restaurants, bars and clubs. Some parts were not the most classy, but other parts were quite lovely. Like this:
There was a large British population (mostly of retirement age). But it also appeared to be a popular destination for bachelor/bachelorette parties. So there was an interesting age dynamic. All around, I really enjoyed Benidorm... even its trashy tendencies.
