"¿Dónde se puede cambiar dinero? Where can I change some money?"
Benidorm is one of the most visited tourist destinations on the Spanish coast. During the last 40 years, it has grown from a small village into a modern vibrant city, often called Manhattan of the Mediterranean.
A large number of tourists spend their holidays in Benidorm year after year. The city will impress you by its numerous skyscrapers, fascinating long beaches, excellent weather and entertainment facilities.
Benidorm is situated on Costa Blanca, between Alicante and Valencia, about 60 km northwest of Alicante airport. While its population is officially just about 70,000, during the high season of July and August numerous Benidorm apartments accommodate more than 500,000 tourists.
People are mainly attracted by its special micro-climate and top-quality Benidorm vacation resorts. The city is surrounded by more than 1500 meters high mountains, which protect it from the colder continental weather. The whole coastal area enjoys sunny days all year round with mild average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius in winter and 26 degrees in summer.
The Old Town of Benidorm is placed in the middle of the modern metropolis, on the elevated rocky terrain. It is surrounded on both sides by recently built suburbs facing two long sand Benidorm beaches: Poniente and Levante.
The city offers everything you need to have an amazing and unforgettable holiday. There are various accommodation resorts (from Benidorm luxury hotels to more affordable Benidorm hostels), a lot of sun and water sports opportunities on wonderful Benidorm beaches, hundreds of Benidorm restaurants, pubs, bars discos and night-clubs, excellent dancing and cabaret shows, as well as four large Benidorm theme parks.
