Providing information & news
For the thousands of ex-pats who have decided to make this their home, we endeavor to provide useful information and news, updates on changes in regulations – especially relating to health care & driving in Spain and important events in the community. We have a good working relationship with the British Consulate in Alicante as well as with all the local Town Halls. We also provide content for many of the ex-pat newspapers and have a regular weekly in the Costa Blanca News, travel magazines including European Travel Magazine and take to the airwaves at Talk Radio Europe.
Working with the British media
Many British television programs have been filmed and broadcast from Benidorm over the last few years, which we have been fortunate to be involved with.
We also instigated and organized the plaque presentation for Derren Litten, writer and creator of the ITV Benidorm series by the Mayor Agustin Navaro and the British Consul Paul Rodwell, in recognition of his contribution to boosting tourism by basing his hit comedy in the resort and were present at the private audience with the Mayor prior to the unveiling.
Working with the Spanish media
Interviews with the stars
In a survey which we ran we asked the question "Has the ITV Benidorm series persuaded you to come here on holiday" - and 62% said yes!
The Benidorm Series has truly done wonders in raising the profile of the town and we have been privileged to have interviewed many of the cast, producers and directors over the years.
All of the interviews can be viewed in the archive. We also helped to publicize the calendar bought out by actor Jake Canuso, who many consider the main attraction and star of the show - playing Spanish barman "Mateo".
Charity Work
It is always important to help those less fortunate and we try to do our bit whenever possible. We have sponsored a hole during a fundraising golf tournament for Emaus - a childrens charity here on the Costa Blanca and also ran a fancy dress competition during the British Fancy Dress Day in November for the same worthy charity. Later this year, in collaboration with Benidorm Palace we are hoping to organise a charity golf tournnment with some famous celebrities coming over specially from the UK. Comic Stan Boardman is one of those that is very keen to take part - and he has promised to bring over some celebrity pals with him.
Need a fixer?
If you're planning a shoot in the Benidorm region we can help. We work as a fixer for documentaries, films and live TV. We can help find contributors and locations at short notice! We have assisted with the sourcing of research material and finding suitable locations for programs such as BBC 2 documentary "This World", ITV ¨Daybreak" and also "This Morning" – which both had live broadcasts to the UK and also Spanish networks including RTVE - El Escarabajo verde.

The wheels have touched down on the runway and the seatbelt sign hasn´t even been turned off, yet everyone is already clambering to retrieve their bags from the overhead lockers – sound familiar? On disembarking be prepared for a lengthy walk – if you are not that mobile then pre-book a wheelchair on arrival. It´s a hit and miss whether the passport control is manned but have your passports to hand just incase. Follow the signs for baggage reclaim and grab a trolley - they are free here. Once you have your luggage then make your way through the double automatic doors to the arrivals hall. What next?
For those that have hired a car turn RIGHT and the car hire desks are all in front of you. If you have a private transfer booked then your driver should be there to meet you in the arrivals hall with a sign. Everybody else, head for the lifts, which are directly ahead of you as you exit luggage reclaim. If you have a shuttle transfer booked, with companies such as ABAS Costa Blanca,who are handling agents for many of the major shuttle companies then go to -2 (minus 2) and upon exiting the lifts, moving traveltors or stairs you will find the various stands. Company reps will greet you, explain the return transfer pick up arrangements and direct you to the correct coach number outside.
