Holiday in Spain near Benidorm





Great day at the playa de Villajoiosa. Water still around 25°. So beautiful. Off season is cheaper and you can save a lot of money.

Serendipidi in Benidorm




Serendipidy in Spain
Strange things happen to me when I’m on the paseo the Promenade in Benidorm. I’m best left alone or if I am with someone then It has to be a photographer or at least a Knipser, one who sees the joy on peoples faces or one who is in the very  moment to enjoy. There is so much going on all day especially on Sundays when the locals pop in with their large families to enjoy the playa, the beach. Very often they bring food not only Snacks but sometimes even a Picknick table and a real meal. Kids playin the water and the fathers  help digging the beach. The mothers are  happy to meet with their friends for a little chat. Soon after lunch they leave for siesta a break of about 3 hours and the beach is empty except  for us foreign tourists who stay all day since soon our nice holidays will be over and we have to return home into the rain, fog, cold bad weather in the northern parts of Europe.

Holidays in Spain

As you know I am addicted to Spain therefore I recommend all Spain holidays. Whenever you book  a flight to Spain you can  be sure  to find very friendly people, good food and drink and wonderful weather. Of course it is up to you If you book  a cheap Benidorm holiday or a high end one and it depends on the price you want to pay. Benidorm offers all sorts. Just try it out. When being there maybe  you see a hotel that you love more. If so just put it on your list for next year. Or have a look  at tripadvisor. See to it that it is not too far from the beaches since that is where you want to go. And be smart, do take some extra money  for your extra wishes. I know you don't need  anything but once being there you feel you must  have it all. So be prepared. 



Benidorm Playa de Levante


Benidorm is famous for it's beaches. And that is good so.  This Photo shows one of the main beaches. The Playa Levante. Not only do we have the most beautiful water, turquoise like places in the Caribbean there is also the longest paseo the Promenade along it. And the way is all nicely  paved so comfortable for people on wheels like babies or wheelchairs,

Caribbean Benidorm

Having been in the Caribbean I know how the famos turquoise waters there look, feel and smell. But you don't have to go all that way over there. Over here at the Costa Blanca you have it just the same way for less money especially when you go in the Off-season as it is now. Hotel prices  drop drastically and you get real good offers right now. The teperature is good, with cool nights and warm or even  hot days about 28° C.
Yes, and the water had enough time all summer long  to keep warm and cosy.  Last year I even went bathing until October 31st, the temperature being still 22°C.  Yes that is the Mediterranean Sea in the South of Spain. Traveling there is easy with the new airport in Alicante and a busride to either Benidorm or the other nice places. You may also think of renting a car, which you should do online from back home for the best rates ever. 
I wish you a happy holiday. May all your dreams   come true .

South of Spain for Wanderlust




Well, yes it is easy to just spend a day like a real holiday when just thinking of how to get moving. I mean not moving from one pub to the next which in Spain is easy but to save  some money that day and go hiking. As for Benidorm I can recommend just following the promenade called paseo along the two main beaches, called Playa de Levante which means levantar = rising, where the sun is rising, ok, that is the East as everybody knows. All way along you come to the other, even  larger beach called Playa de Poniente. Poner means to put, that is where the sun is setting. As everybody knows that is West. Right in the middle of the two beaches you find the wonderful lookout, the Castillo de Benidorm. If you want to save money that day ignore the Pubs on the way. Very important money  saving and calories saving too, which in many cases is even more important and very smart.  If you get tired from all your exercises you can easily take the bus back for little money. But I can assure you this day will make you happy and proud. And you will get compliments all day long when reporting your Wanderlust at home.

Benidorm Palace


Ja da waren wir gestern Abend mal wieder im Benidorm Palace. Varieteshow vom Feinsten. Tolle spanische Tanzshows mit super Kostümen, Castagnetten, bester Choreografie, high end, Akrobatik, meine absoluten Lieblinge, die Kraftprotze, auch ein sort of moderner Clown, der sich Leute aus dem Publikum holt und mit ihnen Späßchen macht, aber nix Peinliches. Diese Kerle haben es jedenfalls genossen, einmal in ihrem Leben ein Publikum von 700 Leuten  zu haben und selbiges zu amüsieren. Die Show ging um 21 Uhr los mit dem echt super Diner (frag ich mich immer wieder, wie die für sooo viele Leute die Steaks so absolut erstklassig hinkriegen) und um 22 Uhr begann die Show.  Die Eröffnungsexplosion dann das komplette Tanzensemble auf der Bühne. Das ist schon ein Brüller. Und dennoch, irgendwas hat gefehlt. Ich führe es darauf zurück, dass die Tänzerinnen heute Mädels aus russischen Ländern sind, die ihr Programm professionell runtertanzen und keine Spanierinnen wie früher, bei denen man Herzblut fließen spürte. Aber so eine Glamournacht kann ich dennoch genießen und auch mit den vielen fröhlichen Urlaubern auf dem riesigen schwingenden Tanzboden abzurocken hat was. Früher gabs in diesen Shows ja noch echte Tiere z.B. Black Panther oder Kamele. Aber das ist nicht mehr in, dieses Mal haben die einen Hubschrauber auf die Bühne gezaubert, fehlte nur,dass der dann durch das offene Dach entschwindet, das kommt wohl erst noch.

Costa Blanca


Fährt man etwas landeinwärts von Villajoyosa aus in die Berge nach Sella, so kommt man an diesem großen Stausee vorbei, dem Embalse de Amadorio. Dieses Jahr führt er ganz besonders viel Wasser. Am Wochenende kommen die Leute aus der Umgebung und machen Party, bringen ihre riesigen Paellapfannen mit, kochen und lassen es sich gut gehen.


Natürlich hat sich dort auch ein kleines Restaurant angesiedelt, von dem aus man einen Blick auf die Urbanization Bella Orcheta hat. Anders als in den Hochburgen des Tourismus, geht es hier sehr beschaulich zu und außer dem Bellen einiger einsamer Hunde hört man hier nix, absolut nix!



Villajoyosa hat sich schwer gemacht in den letzten Jahren. Außer den hübschen Häusern an der Strandpromenade haben sich auch ein paar sehr gute Architekten in der Innenstadt betätigt, wie man sieht.

Auf diesem Polder im Fischereihafen von Villajoyosa haben wir beide gesessen und den Fischern bei der Arbeit zugesehen.



In die Nachbarstadt Benidorm muss man auch mal gefahren sein. Außer den zahlreichen Hochhäusern und hunderten von Bars, dem Touristenrummel mit 5 Millionen Touris im Jahr 2007 gibt es hier Künstler, die sich am Strand betätigen und das Auge erfreuen.
