TRIP TO BENIDORM FOR **5 DAYS** visiting Alicante and Calpe, (exact dates within the week tbc).

For those who have not been with us before, many of us have been on amazing summer holidays to Benidorm for the last 11 years- and they are great. Not sure you want to go? Well take a look at the feedback people left....

"Thank you for an amazing holiday enjoyed it so much. Thank you Benidorm gang xx 😍"

"I had an absolutely wicked time with you all, some great memories. Saw some magnificent shows, a lot of fun and laughter."

"We had such a fantastic fun and memorable holiday in Benidorm, everybody's still talkin about it!!! Mike, the general consensus is we want more! 😉😉 hint hint"

▿
😎 COME AND JOIN US! 😎

So who's up for another fun-filled break in Benidorm?

We'll be able to laze on the beach, sip cocktails around the pool, visit the sights or watch the world go by in one of the many promenade bars.
We also go on a day trip to Alicante and to the island of Calpe, (if you'd like to join us). Not to mention walks around the old town, and eating in the traditional restaurants it has to offer.

Benidorm really has something for everyone. Fantastic beaches, loads of resort shops, bars, nightlife and daytime activities too. Evening entertainment throughout Benidorm is lively, varied and FREE.

▿
😎 DAYTIME & EVENING PLANS 😎

For those who would like to join in, we'll suggest meeting places and times every day and evening. Or you can do your own thing, no problem. Most of us tend to hang around together but break into smaller groups depending on hunger, thirst, entertainment, walking, shopping, sightseeing, cultural or sunbathing needs.

✪ ITINERARY ✪

Arrival day: After booking in to our Hotel, we'll relax for the afternoon around the pool, and then head off for dinner, and later, spend the night exploring some of the free entertainment, bars and music to be found in the new town.

Day 2: Day trip to Alicante. We'll take the train and explore the amazing waterfront and bars, and there's plenty of time for shopping.

Day 3: Time to relax while touring around the old town, new town, and promenade on foot and enjoy some lunch along the way. We'll probably take the land train guided tour if it's running as it's a great way to see everything with ease before heading out for dinner and some nightlife.

Day 4: Day trip to Calpe - more details to follow.

Day 5: We'll have a fair bit of the day to do some shopping, relax around the pool, eat, drink, and be merry. Later, we leave the hotel to return to the airport.

▿
😎 WHO CAN JOIN US 😎

It's more comfortable when we know other people on trips away. For this reason, you must have attended at least 4 events in the 6 months prior to the trip, where you have met me (Pippa) at each, before you can join us on this holiday. Sorry, no guests, strangers, couples, or friends.
