Benidorm is located on the Costa Blanca, Spain. Famous for it's beaches, bars, restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, hotels, sightseeing, party atmosphere, excursions, tours and sun. It is not only one of the top holiday destinations in Spain but one of the best tourist hotspots in the whole of Europe. British and Irish tourists love to travel to Benidorm, being one of the best resorts for a package holiday, but it is also well loved by many European travellers, and of course the Spanish themselves. It is an all year round holiday resort, the good weather means there is something to offer visitors of all nationalities and ages, and you will always find things to do and places to go. On our KZfaq channel we bring you travel vlogs which show you in depth everything Benidorm has to offer. We hope you enjoy, soak up the sunshine and subscribe to our channel.

An old boy used to come in our local when we were in our teens. He used to go to Benidorm for 3 months at a time in the winter months. He used to stay at the same apartments, in the same room, every year. He loved the place, as do many others.

OMG what a brilliant video report,i am 75 this year, and we have been to Benidorm once before but that was summertime and we enjoyed it very much, my problem is wifey is younger and by 11 years and just finds it difficult to be around the older people all the time it sort of brings her down a bit , it's to much of a reminder, she is very young at heart, but for me, the thought of being there all winter would be fabulous, we love mooching about and doing bus or train trips, so thanks for this one,.

Especially to get over the winter blues of the British weather. I am now a pensioners I just retired from work at the end of last month, I still find it strange that I’m technically a OAP. But by calling me that makes me feel really old😢😢, I feel too young to be called that though. I’ve booked the same hotel for next year already

You never have to pay for electricity or anything like that, seems pretty naive booking somewhere you have to pay extra for electricity and as far as internet goes plenty uk mobile networks still give you really good value eu use.
