We recently went to Benidorm for the first time as part of our #mygaypride summer long campaign, a popular tourist spot on the southeast coast of Spain. It was our last gay pride of the summer and little did we know that Benidorm even had a gay pride event. We didn’t know much about the city, but we quickly learned about its open and active LGBT community.

Benidorm is probably a destination that half of our audience has never heard of while the other half may already have a stereotyped view. For the British and many other northern Europeans, Benidorm is a popular holiday destination known for its temperate climate, sandy beaches and warm waters – or simply the British sitcom they’ve seen on TV about guests at a Spanish resort. For the Spanish, it’s a place they visit to getaway despite all the drunken tourists because someone in the family has a house there that they bought decades ago. In fact, many Basques came to Benidorm years ago and have second houses there due to a bad economy bringing with them typical Basque foods that you’ll now find all over the city. For North Americans, Benidorm is mostly unknown brining nothing to mind, though it is akin to our Cancun or Cabo in Mexico. The city is clearly different things to different people, but is it worth your visit?

We looked forward to visiting the iconic canals of the historic city center, enjoying the rides at Tivoli Gardens, visiting the castles and palaces and drinking lots of Carlsberg beer.
