Benidorm in Spain is particularly popular with Flemish, British and Dutch tourists, to such an extent that there are whole sections of the city where Spanish or Valencian is rarely heard. In addition, there is an abundance of pubs, each of which advertise an "authentic British menu". Benidorm's long row of skyscrapers also resembles the Belgian coast. Because of this fact, together with the many Flemish tourists and shops, Benidorm is often called the "11th Belgian province".
The city is divided into two halves, called Poniente and Levante, each fronted by a beach of the same name. Between the two beaches lies a rocky promontory. The old city occupies this promontory and the area immediately inland, while most of the hotels occupy the more recently developed sections behind the two beaches. A few miles from shore is an uninhabited island which provides a dramatic centerpiece to the seascape.
The tv series Benidorm is filmed at the Hotel Sol Pelicanos and Hotel Ocas which are sister hotels. With five swimming pools, three whirlpool baths and plenty of evening entertainment its a great resort to have a well earned holiday. You can also spot where tv scenes were filmed. Thomson Holidays feature this hotel and for more information visit Thomson Benidorm Holidays.
