A year long drunken memory blank!

by helsbels - last update: Aug 14, 2004

i'll start by telling you why i came...

Benidorm cityscape- with bad join in the middle!
it all started christmas 2002, when i was gettin ichy feet again and me and my friend charlie decided to get on, jack it all in and get away. we planned to learn a bit of the language and the culture, have some fun for the summer and earn some money to move on afterwards.
At the beginning of march 2003, we were on our way. we flew in to barcelona and travelled south until we found somewhere we didnt need to know the language and could find work. Benidorm stuck out on the map and after getting destracted for a month with the large measures of cheap vodka we got our act together and found work. Spent a year there and loved every minute-except being robbed a couple of times, but don't let that put u off! If i stayed much longer i feared i'd never leave, maybe i'll go back and settle one day but i'm pretty sure there's more to life than Benidorm.

What you can expect......

Something for everyone, sun, stunning beaches, shopping, all sorts of nightlife from shows and good food to drinking and dancing. Ideal for young people for partying in the summer, also plenty to do for families, winter more aimed for older people but still plenty to do for everyone.

Pros:"Booze, Booze, Booze! you can drink 24/7 if u want to!"
Cons:"New town has little to none culture, but that doesn't really matter for a holiday!"
