Fantastic old footage. I visited Benidorm in 1972 aged 11 with my mum. It was my first time abroad. We stayed at the Hotel Bristol Park (now called the Hotel Bristol) which was next to the old town & a short walk from the Levante beach. It was a much smaller (& quieter) place back then, there were large hotels along the front at the Levante beach but the area behind was still undeveloped. I remember the old town was a very safe place for kids as me & my friend who I met in the hotel, would regularly visit a cafe in the old town to have chocolate flavoured milk. This was quite late in the evening but we were completely unsupervised without our parents. But it was safe to do this. Two wee Scottish lads out on the town! I also recall a disco called “Tito’s” quite near the hotel which used an old American car as a publicity prop.

What a brilliant bit of social history I was only back in 1972 but started going to calpe back in 2007, a lovely resort and to see the rock of ifach and the fishing Harbour from then was amazing. I’ve walked up that rock and have many great memories from there, thanks for this video.

What wonderful footage from Benidorm's old town. You can still see the fishing village it used to be in some of the side streets which had few businesses at the time...

Hi from the US. My first foreign holiday was here back in 1980 with my parents when we lived in the UK. Stayed at the Ariel Park hotel, which I believe is now the Hotel Nereo. Fantastic holiday.

I was there at that time. Still a top place to visit. I have lived permenanatly for over 20 year.Can anyone confirm. A question around this year i thought that in Elch / Dove park when i was around 6 i thought the palms had spider monkeys in. Was this my imagination or was it true.

I went to Benidorm for the first time in 1973 at 7 years of age, great memories. I stayed in the hotel in the video right bye the Church in the small square up on the Rock only 2 weeks ago on a stag do, it certainly isn’t the same but still a good place to be.

I went salou in the mid 80s, it was more a village up the hill then. I recall all the white paved sea front was there, and a fair at the end. But the main resort, as it is now, was only just being built. Went again in the mid 90s and in that decade the whole resort pop up. Basically looking just like it still does.

We were at The Don Pacho hotel; I was 18 years old, they put us up at the very top in the far corner 8 of us in two rooms. Loved chasing the room maids around the hotel or they would run out of the room in the mornings because we were naked. LOL Best night remembered was The Western Saloon bar my brother swinging off the wooden chandeliers 38 of us buying rounds and dancing on the wooden benches until the wonderful National Police turned up in white gloves and machine guns......no charges. Last night there I was caught in the lift with the hotels managers wife? Although we had stopped the lift, the staff had managed to over ride the system.. Still go to Benny and rave it up in the Benidorm Cafe until throwing out time or; I'm taking someone back to look at my ceiling?

Remembered playing on the barren landscapes behind the hotels in 1971, stayed in Mont Park Hotel. The builders were rock blasting not far above where we stayed, and remembered a rock flew in the direction of the pool; ran a bit quick into the foyer!

Id like these historic videos. Id live to see one of Salou in thr 80s. We went in the mid 80s and it was basically a village up the hill, went back mid 90s was a huge resort, visted it on the way through about 5 years ago and it looked very similar to the mid 90s, i could actully recall some of the roads 20years later. So a pre mid 80s video would be excellent if one could be dug up
