Benidorm - Is there much DISRUPTIVE BUILDING WORK going on?

[@bobbythomas200420032]

Hi a great video and what amazing projects for the city of Benidorm. The central park idea i like the sound of with a green space and something fir the youth. A shopping centre is great for Benidorm. The Old town of Benidorm is lovely as are the two beaches and the long promenade. There are so many parts to Benidorm. I have been once but maybe one day i will give it ago again and stay in the old town. I visited Benidorm late November 2022.

It never ceases to amaze me how much building work goes on in Benidorm, with hardly any disruption to traffic or residents. There’s not many countries that allow construction workers to drink bottles of beer whilst at work and go and have a few more at lunch, reminds me of the UK back in the 70’s.

Absolutely brilliant lucy

[@jesusbencomo3495]

Lucy, Benidorm is increasing its standard of life, like a wonderful piece of jewelry in hands of genial artists.

Great video as always, idea for more content would be bus trips or scooter over to La cala showing off the many bars and restaurants, view point and beach. Also Albir is just round the corner too that people don't know much about and not realise there are so many places you can go for a day trip from beni :)

[@LucyYoungTBE]

Did you see our electric bike ride to La Cala Finestrat?

[@Richy91]

@@LucyYoungTBE I might have missed that one, did you have a walk around La Cala as well?

[@LucyYoungTBE]

@Richy91 Not really, it was more of a how to get there video. We intend to follow up at some point with a look around Cala Finestrat bay

[@LucyYoungTBE]

@Richy91 we have done a few around there and Albir and Altea but must be over 2 years ago now. A lot has changed! Definitely worth doing some more videos like that, unfortunately not many people watch them if its not Benidorm, but hey ho x

[@Richy91]

@@LucyYoungTBE Ah really? That's a shame, I thought people would be interested in the amazing places you can go for a day from Bendidorm. Keep up the great content though :)

[@aurevoirpet-ourfrenchlife6772]

Fabulous video! We’re all for new developments, building etc etc. We’re moving from France to Spain this year and have to say Benidorm and surrounding areas are definitely up on the list of possible locations. Seems like you’d want for nothing 😊

[@paulsmith7650]

We’re currently staying at Port Benidorm not heard much noise can hear some noise when you walk past don’t be put off coming to hotel 😊

[@Susancoltman]

We stayed there no noise at all

[@markgaffney3131]

I want to see inside the Aula looks interesting. It would be great to see a video on that

[@ElizabethAnderson-y8w]

[@LucyYoungTBE]

Have a great time 🎉

[@stewartdavidson4758]

There has been a massive clearing of the trees on the pavements from sort of camping Villasol up to the Farmacia, down to the all weather football pitches and past imed. Not the usual trimming for regrowth. What's happening as these provided much needed shade in the summer!

[@LucyYoungTBE]

They're replacing all the trees as they are diseased.

[@sheilafearon6175]

[@LucyYoungTBE]

[@LucyYoungTBE]

[@MEDITATION990]

Great video and good to know what all the construction is. It would be great if you did a video on the Poniente side where we live as we have no idea what is going on 😂

[@Guapaahi]

[@angierobinson5570]

[@christineburrows694]

[@Endgame7298]

Wouldn't mind a video on hotels with heated pools and for you to dip your toe in to see if they are really warm !!!

[@tonylumb2914]

Lucy I stay sometimes at Cala Frinestrat what is the story behind that unfinished hotel it's been like that for many many years it's a shame as it's an eyesore on a beautiful bay a video would be great ,tony from Leyland thanks

[@LucyYoungTBE]

Apparently they built it higher than the initial plans had given permission for. When challenged and asked to take it back to the height it should be they said no if you don't let us build it this high we'll just leave it like that.. and that's how it has stayed. That's the story I heard a few years ago.

[@julianroberts698]

Hi Lucy any news on what's happening on the old Sinatras site?

[@LucyYoungTBE]

Seen a bit of movement there towards end of last year but it seems to have stopped again

[@julianroberts698]

@LucyYoungTBE that's a shame

[@paranoidozzy1970]

[@Buttonmoon25]

Hi . I was booked to stay at the port Benidorm in July 2025 with Tui They emailed me to say the building work would be ongoing so I cancelled my holiday. Don't want to be lying round the pool with all that building work going on now I have to try and find another hotel 😢😢. I was looking forward to it aswell 😢

[@BaconKongen]

[@grahamjohnson4702]

I think they need to take some help from the Germans, look how quickly they started and finished the buildings, or maybe McDonalds.
