What’s On

Every Benidorm fiesta from now to the end of January. Tap the one you want and it goes straight into your phone’s calendar.

Which market is on which day, in Benidorm and the towns around it, with the bus numbers. Taken from the council’s own leaflet rather than guessed at.

A crewless boat, a fire on the beach and an image found in the ashes. Benidorm’s patronal week in November is the one the town puts on for itself, and the cheapest week of the year to see it.

The fifth of January is the biggest night of the year for Spanish children, and Benidorm’s cabalgata is a proper one. What happens, the route, and why early January is the cheapest week here.

Two armies, four days and the biggest street parade of the Benidorm year. What happens, when, and where to stand. Dates from the council’s own calendar.

Pride takes the first week, the Vuelta rolls out from Villajoyosa, two local fiestas and a night of Spanish rock. What’s worth your evening in the Old Town this September.

Concerts at the castle, open-air cinema on the Mal Pas, two local verbenas and the island swim. What’s actually worth leaving the shade for in the Old Town this August.
