Autumn in Benidorm
Despite the fact that the climate on the Spanish coast is warmer than in the rest of Europe, when the summer is over, the beach takes a second place and it’s the perfect time to discover Benidorm and its charm without so much hustle and bustle.

In this festival the participants are divided into two sides, Moors and Christians, dressed as in the medieval period of each culture and make different “comparsas”, parades and processions. In autumn, Benidorm […]
Your MedPlaya50 memories: it’s babies time!
In the 50 years of MedPlaya’s history we have lived many stories: friendships have been created for life, we have celebrated unforgettable parties, couples have met and are still together today… and we have also experienced the first summer holidays of many babies. From what we can see in the pictures you have sent us for our anniversary contest, everyone has had a great time!

How was Salou some years ago?
The years have passed and Salou has changed a lot: what used to be a small coastal town with local tourism has become a holiday destination that receives guests from all over the world. But, although the time has passed, the sun and the beach are still the main protagonists in Salou. In these old photos we can appreciate the great change that the Catalan city has undergone for more than 50 years. Photographies: Quadern de Sons and Quina la Fem?
Your memories of MedPlaya50: Historical MedPlaya
In our MedPlaya 50th anniversary contest we have received many memories that you have lived at our hotels in recent years.

The Riviera Hotel was already in Benidorm […]
