When visitors come on holiday to Spain they often have a shopping list of things to take back with them. Obviously, cigarettes and alcohol top that list... whether you are a smoker or not - although technically illegal, many will bring back a carton or two for friends and family.

With filming of the sixth series well under way in Benidorm, ITV have issued a press release outlining what to expect - a most unusual step as normally they are very cautious about revealing details of the storyline or who is due to appear! There is always speculation about who will be appearing in the must sought after cameo roles - in one series it was even rumoured that Joan Collins was to appear...
The Town Hall of Elche have proposed to change the name of Alicante airport - used to fly into Benidorm by the majority of holiday makers, much to the anger of local residents.Although geographically it is situated in Elche, it lies within the town of El Altet - hence the name. However, for reasons probably only logical to those at the Town Hall they want to spend money re-naming the airport to "Elche-Altet"!
Much like they have hair and beauty academies for training, yesterday I discovered that they also have one for the catering and hospitality industry - and right here in Benidorm. No I haven´t decided on a change of career - following my performance on Come Dine with Me I think it would be a rather short lived one!

On Friday, the Benidorm Bull Ring once again came to life and was used for the purpose it was built. Bull fighting is a very controversial and sensitive issue, particularly for the Brits - who are largely a nation of animal lovers.

Yes, you did read that correctly... although it is not something you would normally associate with the town. Benidorm Town Hall, that modern glass and steel structure is ten years old - it was opened back in March 2003.

The creation and introduction of the single currency, which is shared by 17 member states was a major step towards integration. It was heralded as the way forward for businesses who would often loose out on fluctuating exchange rates and seemed a god send for holiday makers, who could keep their leftover Euros from their holiday in Greece and use them again later in the year for that break in another Euro Zone country.
