Benidorm Spain - 2nd-6th August 2019.

We are really lucky to have some Easy Jet flights to use and try and fit into our busy schedule.  We chose to fly to Alicante in Spain and stay just down the road in the famous Spanish resort of Benidorm for a long weekend in the sun.

Enjoying a quick dinner at Luton Airport before my flight to Alicante.

Can you see my sunflower lanyard ?  It helps people to recognise that I am autistic and it gets me through the airport queues quicker than normal.

On board our Easy jet A320 ready to depart.

Just over 2 hours later we are ready to get into our hire car and drive to Benidorm.





Hotel Melia Benidorm.






Look at the view from our balcony I cannot wait to swim in the pools.

You can just about see the sea through the buildings.




Here's our hotel room.



My bed.

Exploring around the hotel reception.

                                       

Our room is in the block on the right.

Time to relax by the pool.

WiFi and swimming my two favourite things.

Come on in - the waters lovely.

Time for a walk and an explore of Benidorm.

Just a 10 minute walk down the main road is the beach.

A quick paddle in the Mediterranean Sea.

It was quite warm.

Everything down here is very colourful and there are lots of shops and restaurants.

Ice cream time.

Welcome to Benidorm.

My hotel in the background behind me and the Red Lion pub, one of the many places showing football and other sports all day.  I love this!

But this is where I spent most of my holiday.

The only time I was really out of the pool was meal times, there was always a big buffet to choose from.

After dinner some nights we played in the arcade.

Time to head for the airport and fly home.

Goodbye Benidorm.

I have really enjoyed my time here.

Alicante Airport time to fly home.

Back in the UK.  I think you can see by the colour of the sky and all the clouds.

Home sweet home.  Happy to be back in my comfy bed.

I've had a fantastic long weekend in Benidorm.
