Recognised as a home from home but with guaranteed sunshine and a quick 90-minute flight time, it's no wonder that Benidorm holidays attract over one million British visitors every year. A firm favourite with families, sun worshippers and single sex groups, it's got copious amounts of cheap hotels, hundreds of self-catering apartments and a breadth of bargain holiday deals to boot. Made famous in the sixties, Benidorm is the main resort in Spain's Costa Blanca. Likened to a mini Las Vegas, it has everything from skyscrapers and neon lights to Irish pubs and foam-filled nightclubs It also has some of the best Blueflag beaches in the Mediterranean with Levante catering for the livelier clientele and Poniente attracting a more subdued audience, making it perfect for young families. Children and older kids will also be enticed by Benidorm's four theme parks that offer everything from water slides to rollercoaster rides. Those looking for a spot of escapism from the main strip should take a diversion to the old town. With markets, deli's and tapas bars on almost every street, it's worlds away from the party promenade that runs along the resort's coastline.
