Well, it was the end of the week, gentle readers, and we hoped that we had finished you off in a satisfactory manner with not one but two great stories (count em, two!). But then our researchers came to us with this great picture story and we just couldn’t resist.
It’s written by Perkin Amalraj of the Mail. But, before overseas readers dive into Perkin’s lapidary prose, a word of explanation. As both English and Spanish readers will know, the town of Benidorm is famous for its welcoming attitude to foreign holiday makers. Moreover it displays little of the snobby exclusivity that one might find in places like the Côte d’Azur or Gstaad. No, Benidorm welcomes all, at prices all may afford. To enjoy a week of sunshine, fine dining and gentle exercise in the balmy sea breezes. No prim or prescriptive demands to learn the local language customs or cuisine are enforced either. One might as well be in Basildon or Burnley, it’s just hotter.
But sometimes pictures speak more than a thousand words, every one of them. And so we invite you to click on the link and enjoy ad essay in photojournalism of the highest quality, and greatest interest. And remember-there is no one as interesting as the people next door. Well not next door, hopefully. From a few streets away
