Benidorm Is Always Summer

amomentwithfranca · 14 October 2019 · 11 Comments

Escape the cold and head to beautiful Benidorm, for #BenidormAlwaysSummer. The culture of Benidorm is dedicated to supporting tourism year-round with beautiful beaches, fine dining, and a summer nightlife you’ll never forget. The temperate climate, devoting to relaxation, and amazing eateries have made this a promising tourist destination since the ‘80s. Benidorm is part of the Spanish Costa Blanca.

Wonderful Weather Year-round

Right now, in October, it is a beautiful 28 degrees Celsius in Benidorm, while most the rest of the world is trying to stay cosy in sweaters and hiding under blankets. The clear waters stay warm and inviting all year round.

Beautiful Beaches

Once you see the beaches in Benidorm, they will become your favourite beaches.

  • Tio Ximo – is a charming cove to the North where visitors can escape the busy town below.
  • Almadrava Cove – at the foot of the Sierra Helada you will find beautiful scenery for a day of sunbathing.
  • Levante beach – this is one of the most popular beaches in all of Europe featuring water activities that will keep you busy all day long.
  • Poniente beach – be captivated by an urban beach surrounded by fine dining and a beautiful promenade. While this beach is still a major tourist attraction, you will find much less bustling and activity than Levante
  • Mal Pas Beach – if you are looking to scuba dive in the clear waters this is the beach for you.

Exquisite Gastronomy and Fine Dining

Fine dining in Benidorm means getting a taste of their exquisite gastronomy and Mediterranean eats. With influences from Spain, Italy, Greece, and new fusion, their dishes create combinations that will have your taste buds begging for more. Check out these top picks for the best dining experience in Benidorm.

  • La Falúa Restaurante – Mediterranean and Italian
  • Restaurant Llum del Mar – Mediter
  • Two Palms Restaurant – European and British
  • Restaurante Casa Toni – Mediterranean and Spanish with a cosy atmosphere
  • Amigos Restaurant and Roof Terrace – International Steakhouse with fine wines and filets
    Due to the heavy British tourist population here, there are also many ‘bangers and mash’ style cafes dotting the coastline, perfect for an afternoon treat.

Summer Nightlife in Benidorm

Spend the day living the beach life and then party all night in the wild nightlife in Benidorm. Whether you are looking for cabaret, a clubbing experience, or live music acts, there is something for everyone with the amazing nightlife in Benidorm. Due to the heavy competition between clubs, drink prices and club cover charges remain low, making a night out on the town affordable for anyone.

  • Benidorm Palace – Widely known for cabaret shows with class and decadence, come here for dinner, dancing, and a show with exquisite costumes.
  • Avenida Communitat Valencia – This strip is centrally located and has a wide array of bars of clubs that makes for thriving nightlife.
  • Morgan Tavern – widely popular due to the show Benidorm where it is known as Neptune’s Bar
  • Jokers, Talk of the Coast – for a night full of laughter come here for a comedy show that will leave you holding your sides in laughter.

Have you been to Benidorm before?

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
