Spain Tightens Regulations on Short-Term Rentals

New Rules for Short-Term Rentals in Spain: What You Need to Know Spain has introduced new regulations to govern the rental of tourist and temporary accommodations. These measures come in response to the negative impacts of over-tourism in many parts of the country. The primary goal is to combat illegal vacation rentals and establish greater control and transparency in the sector. Picture: Pixabay Key Changes Mandatory Registration: Starting January 2, 2025, all properties used for short-term rentals, including tourist and seasonal rentals, must have a unique registration number obtained through the Ventanilla Única Digital (Single Digital Window). Platform Verification: Platforms like Airbnb and Idealista are required to verify that listed properties have the correct registration. Annual Renewal: Registration numbers must be renewed annually.

The disgrace of La Cala Beach in Finestrat

If you have ever visited La Cala beach in Finestrat near Benidorm you will have seen that there is a huge building still in scaffolding just in front of the beach. This building should one day become one of the largest hotels in Benidorm, hotel room-wise, unfortunately, the imposing building was never finished, and what's more, the works were stopped more than 20 years ago due to a legal issue. The original hotel would have too many floors and would therefore block the view of the sea from the buildings behind it. Something that today is otherwise little taken into account when you see the current building frenzy in the city of Benidorm. The land on which the Atrium Beach hotel, as the imposing hotel would be called, is built is owned by one of the largest hotel groups in Benidorm and the Balearic Islands. Picture by Harry Fabel The owner of the company was eventually ordered to demolish the hotel, but after years of legal discussions, the developers were fined hugely and ordered...

All you need to know about Benidorm

Originally, it was a tuna fishing village located on the Costa Blanca in Spain, kissed by the sun most of the year, with an ideal microclimate thanks to the protection of the mountains behind it and the Mediterranean Sea. Attracted by these exceptional conditions, in the mid-fifties, the first tourists from Northern Europe arrived and joined the national tourists, Benidorm decided to become one of the first tourist destinations. Picture: Harry Fabel The driving force behind the General Plan of 1956, which shaped the city as we know it today, was Mayor Pedro Zaragoza Orts. It was not easy, but he was a visionary. To remember the efforts made and the success achieved, the phrase De ilusión también se vive is carved in stone in the fountain at the end of the Parque de Elche. Even the illusion lives. Today, Benidorm is the first certified Smart Tourist Destination in the world. When you arrive in Benidorm, a municipality in the province of Alicante belonging to the autonomous community ...

British tourists warned of growing Anti-Tourism sentiment in Benidorm

Recent protests in the Canary Islands against the current tourism model, housing shortages, and the overexploitation of natural resources have significantly impacted the British press. Recently, the tabloid The Sun warned its readers that this climate of rejection of mass tourism could also spread to another major sun and beach destination in Spain: Benidorm. Picture: Pixabay The Sun, one of the most widely read British newspapers, has published an article warning that the protests against mass tourism in the Canary Islands could spread to other popular tourist destinations in Spain, such as Benidorm. The newspaper quotes Fede Fuster, the president of the local hotel association HOSBEC, who expressed his concern about the protests in the Canary Islands. According to The Sun, hoteliers in Benidorm have admitted to being very concerned about the growing anger among Canary Islanders. They described the proliferation of holiday homes in Spain as a "virus". Fede Fuster, the pres...

Enjoy the sunset at the Balcony of the Mediterranean in Benidorm

The Balcony of the Mediterranean, also known as the Mirador del Castillo, is a famous viewpoint in Benidorm, Spain. It is on a rocky peninsula between the city's two main beaches, Levante and Poniente. Picture by Harry Fabel The Balcony of the Mediterranean has a rich history dating back to the 14th century. At that time, a castle was built to protect the city from pirates. The castle was eventually destroyed in the 18th century, but the ruins remained. In the early 20th century, the site was transformed into a public viewpoint, and the Balcony of the Mediterranean was officially inaugurated in 1928. The Balcony of the Mediterranean is open to the public year-round. However, the best time to visit is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and there are fewer crowds. Picture by Harry Fabel The Balcony of the Mediterranean offers stunning panoramic views of the city, the coastline, and the Mediterranean Sea. Visitors can also explore the ruins of the old...
