Benidorm is a city and municipality in the province of Alacant / Alicante, Valencian Community, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Known as the "New York of the Mediterranean", Benidorm has been a tourist destination within Spain since 1925, when its port was extended and the first hotels were built, although it was only in the 1950s that it became renowned as a summer destination for people from inland Spain, especially Madrid.
Today, Benidorm is known for its hotel industry, beaches and skyscrapers, and receives as many tourists from abroad as from Spain, chiefly from the United Kingdom. Benidorm has a permanent population of 77,211 inhabitants, making it the fifth-most populous and ninth-largest city in the Valencian Community.
