Benidorm History

Benidorm was first recognized and accepted as a part of Spain in the fourteenth century. Ever since the charter was signed recognizing its inclusion as Spanish state the city was under constant melee. Pirate attack was so rampant in the ensuing three centuries that the city dwellers had to confine themselves to highly armored castle which was fortified to the hilt! With strategic defense arrangements made to thwart any pirate attack the city remained a closed box for the outside world. Despite their best efforts the city walls were not strong enough to stand unblemished by the numerous attacks inflicted on them.

In the next few centuries the city had a great time! St James was among the first Christian missionaries in Spain and his reforms were the first good events in the history of the city. Further many of the suffrages were discovered bringing tourists to the city!!

The city was further made famous by their piscatorial activities. Newer techniques discovered in tuna fishing brought the city wide acclaim from all around the world.

The city had started brisk trading through their coastal areas in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century the city was under the dictator Franco who did nothing to improve the city’s tourism. After the Second World War the city became a very popular tourist location. In fact the city was akin to a village before the world war two.

In the recent years development has been steady and the accelerated growth of the economy of the city could be attributed toward tourism. With a plethora of wildlife sanctuaries, international class hotels, holiday resorts and theme parks the city tops the list of tourist places in the whole of Spain!

The city is now a tourist resort for over a five million people each year. The amount of money the city raises each year from these tourists makes the city self sufficient!
