Benidorm is gearing up for its seven hundredth anniversary celebration with a comprehensive calendar of events beginning this Wednesday and continuing until May eighteenth. The festivities will commemorate the city’s founding on May eighth, sixteen hundred and twenty-five, with numerous community activities designed to engage residents and visitors alike.

Mayor Toni Pérez stated that the planning process incorporated suggestions from various community entities and individuals to create a rich programme of events. A commemorative coupon from ONCE and a postage stamp from Correos will also help promote the milestone at a national level, each revealed in dedicated ceremonies.

Among the scheduled activities are theatrical performances, an exhibition, and various concerts, with the first musical event set for May third at the Cultural Center. Educational talks and workshops will also occur, focusing on Benidorm’s founding history, featuring student performances from local schools.

The main celebration on May eighth will feature the official stamp presentation and institutional events in the town hall’s Plenary Hall. This significant occasion will include a musical theatre performance that evening, ensuring a festive atmosphere for all attendees. The community’s involvement in these celebrations reflects shared pride in Benidorm’s rich history.
