Got back yesterday from a week in Benidorm (Poniente) which is the quiet part where the Spanish live, had a lovely time - hotel was good with regards to cleanliness, facilities etc - but the food was poor  :( There was a poor choice of hot food and it was served lukewarm.

One day it pi$$ed it down for a short time but the floodwater rose alarmingly -



This shows the walkway under the road from the side of the hotel to the beach, and shows how high the water is


This one is from the walkway towards the hotel


Close up of the walkway



To get to the beach we had to walk along the back roads until we found a bit of dry land!

Got a video of the rain running down the road from the other year while we were in Benidorm.
When it rains, boy does it come down  :)

Glad you had a good time. Welcome back  ;)

We used to holiday in Majorca back in the 70's, generally september when it was cooling down. We had some down pours back then with rivers running down the streets. Soon cleared up though.
I have a great photo of the ship leaving Gibralta on our recent hols will try and post it tomorrow.  ;)

Learnt a bit of Spanish whilst there...............

If needed I will post a translation.

Also they now hire bikes to cycle around Benidorm, the wife and I hired a couple one day and, as we were cycling through the 'old town' , she turned to me and said "I've never come this way before", to which I replied "That'll be the cobbles then"!!  ;)

We didn't take that many photo's on the last hols apart from around the ship which some of you would have seen.

This one is as we left Gibralta, intending to Dolphin/Whale watch.



 :)) Sorry couldn't resist that! Within 3 mins of pulling out of the port we couldn't see our hand in front of us  :))
