A couple of photos and you won't be going, what about the photos you could see of the blue sea and sky, the old town, restaurants and all manner of stuff.

Personally I love live music but there is a difference from so called 'tribute' acts regurgitating stuff from decades ago, can't abide them.

Lots of popular places that I have no interest in, each to their own.
I felt exactly the same until I saw the Beatles in Benidorm, no backing CDs playing, it's all them. Live. And it sounds amazing I can't stop watching Ringo jigging about on his stool playing, he's got all the moves
Another brilliant band is Chess playing queen.

Why comment then?, surely if it doesn’t interest you why post negatively
I’ve never understood why this happens tbh

We stayed in an apartment just off the road of your first picture.
As we walked up the road there was a huge sign that read “ SEX SHOP” and our front door was just beyond it.
Not great when you have a 10 year old with you.
It was a dodgy sex shop too - no I didn’t go in.

Talented people working really hard to entertain.I felt exactly the same until I saw the Beatles in Benidorm, no backing CDs playing, it's all them. Live. And it sounds amazing I can't stop watching Ringo jigging about on his stool playing, he's got all the moves
Another brilliant band is Chess playing queen.
We watched Bob Dylan a few years ago, and his voice was so abysmal we thought he’d had a stroke!
Give me Beni tribute acts any day!
Victor Andrews as Elvis, and the energy of Pablo Bloom - what’s not to love.
No point in trying to convert those that don’t like it/haven’t tried it, but know they won’t like it - leave it for the fans, they are enough to fill the bars anyway!

Careful you might tempt me I'll have to bring my dancing shoes, always given Benidorm a wide berth.
Just gone off it, unless they are open to haggling.
Benidorm market. Not for me this one but Ann loves it. I usually have a sit down somewhere.
There are ACSI sites. They're just out of town but the N°10 bus will take you anywhere for €1.50

Because I have a point of view.
A strange idea of discussion if we cannot express our point of view whether positive or negative.
I think what puts a lot of people off is the state of 'live' music in British pubs/working men's clubs/holiday 'entertainment' etc. We've all seen the singer that can't sing, the absolute racket they try and belt out as if quantity replaces quality. I can't wait to get out of most of them. Don't get me wrong, some in Benidorm are dire
but out of the hundreds there are a handful that are truly awesome

Blooming heck. 0 out of 10 for observation. They are everywhere.
We have overwintered on Beni before and loved it. We have booked Villasol this coming winter for over 90 days and looking forward to staying once again.

I have seen many covers bands over the years, some of them excellent.
What I do not like is the charade of dressing up and pretending to be the original acts

May I refer you to post #43
Yes Chess always make a point of saying "we are not Queen, we are queen fans"
And they don't look anything like them
It's the bi-annual Benidorm love it or hate it thread. Always good for a bit of heated discussion
I sail on the 28th December. Got a week booked in Beni over new year. I just find the place so chilled out and relaxing at that time of year.
