La Cala is hillside at end of Poniente Beach
Poniente Beach-top 7 in world by Forbes
Comments!
City already has tallest hotel in Europe
Watchtower from 1530 had great view
New high-rises aren't even close to sea
No sights here except the beaches
Do people really think Rafa drives a Kia?
Europe's most popular resort;5 million/year
City was small village until the 1960's
Population 71,000; hotel rooms almost 50,000
All beaches are blue flag,highest EU rating
New 52 story towers will be tallest in town
Poniente Beach left; Levante Beach right
Tallest hotel in Europe, for now
Saw no Americans;few foreigners here
Water very clear w/lots of fish
Puig Campana at 4613 ft.;missing chunk
The times they are a changing
Benidorm Island is a bird sanctuary
New boardwalk for Poniente Beach
Mellow resort; partiers in Ibiza & Greece
Still easy to see how city used to look
I'm not the only one saying 'Hola' here
Levante supposed to be the party beach
Just another little building going up
Now you know this is an upscale resort!
I think every family in Spain is here
Looking south towards Alicante
