My parents took me and my two sisters on holiday to Benidorm in 1956. We drove by car all the way through France and then down the coast of Spain, through Vilajoyosa and Castellon de la Plana, where we saw beggars on the steps of the Cathedral. Very few cars, hardly any tourists. Fishermen mending their nets on the beach. Early morning stillness and ravishing beauty. The smells and tastes of a world that has been buried under the gluttony of the tourist trade. We stayed in a hotel on the beach-front, maybe called Natalia; I looked for it in this little film, maybe saw it, not sure though. I would give up all I have to be able to go back to those days, to sit on that beach again as a five-year-old boy, looking at a precious and beautiful world that is simply no longer in existence.
Gracias a imágenes como estas se puede constatar que en un tiempo hubo un hermoso país bajo la costra de cemento que hoy lo cubre todo.
Casi lo único que sobrevive es una exitosa evolución del humilde y noble burro, erguido ahora sobre dos píes enfundados en zapatos.
WOW I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS FOOTAGE FROM 1950S FROM THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN OF BENIDORM ♥️♥️♥️☀️☀️☀️🏝🏝🏝😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Romanticismo en estado puro
Muy buen material histórico. ¡Gracias por el viaje!
Muy interesante yo vine a Benidormen el año 1968 y esto me trae recuerdos entrañables .
Madre mía... Y yo nací en 1980 en Brasil y he pisado todo eso ya con sus rascacielos y con los jubilados británicos y madrileños. Menuda sensación de atemporalidad.
I really enjoyed watching this film. Thank you very much. I'll share this on my website
estos videos del 1950 de ciudades urbanas son oro
Like an important I would say comment addition to this material, I've noticed that the footage also includes other locations besides Benidorm. You can see the castle from Guadalest at min. 5:00 then there is a footage shot in Alicante (see the Alicante's harbor and the "Esplanada" at min. 5:39 and also their castle on that mountain top at min. 5:55), and afterwards there is a footage from Calpe (see the surroundings and the Ifach Penon starting from the min. 6:47), and possible Altea. Thanks for showing these rare images. Good job!
Thanks for adding my notification to the title of your footage. This way the watchers will be correctly informed on what they have seen. Greetings from Benidorm, Spain!
This is awesome footage, but after 5 minutes or so, it's no longer Benidorm, but other towns in the area. For instance, I don't think Benidorm ever had a city tram service (not conting the intercity tram to Altea and Alicante), so I think that footage is from Alicante. And then there's Guadalest, Elche and Calpe, at least. I'll continue wathcing now... :D
I was not even born? 1953. I'm still living life to the full in Benny when ever I can go up there.....been up to Guadalest a few times and know the washing area. It seems surreal to see these images.
Gran video, además no sólo se ve Benidorm, también Alicante por ejemplo.
tnx for sharing really interesting video, only thing that never changed is puig campana, sierra de bernia mountains and balcon del mediterraneo, amazing.
If I found a place so beautiful,I wouldn't tell a soul.
What have we done ???😢
Nostalgie Espana 😍👋 🇪🇦

Las imágenes no solo contienen vistas de Benidorm sino de diferentes y muy diversas localizaciones de la provincia de Alicante.
Benidorm MARAVILLOSO

nice
Único no es, hay al menos dos filmaciones que yo conozca de esa época. Eso sí, la calidad de este es mucho mayor,
Thank you for this wonderful glimpse into how beautiful Benidorm was before all the tourists, Brits & other nationalities, came over & ruined it.

Wondering where was the Botanical Gardens?
Was that in Benidorm?
Me voou a Benidorm desde ,,1998 me gusta mucho
Interesante material, en esos años las sierras estaban más secas y desforestadas que ahora. Al parecer el bullicio de la gente y las construcciones masivas, el aumento de densidad de población, que es estar todos en el mismo lugar, es lo que realmente es causa del "cambio climático", ahora mismo en esas zonas veo más vegetación y las laderas de esas montañas están más llenas de pinos, lo que se debería hacer es plantar árboles en las ciudades, esta bien que los políticos dejen construir cientos de rascacielos pero al menos tener la dignidad de crear zonas verdes en la misma proporción. Los políticos ya sabemos que no valen nada, pero si la gente toma iniciativa propia en plantar árboles en las zonas colindantes a la ciudad sería de gran utilidad. Las grandes ciudades aumentan la temperatura considerablemente, la única manera de regularlo es creando zonas verdes y Benidorm lo necesita
😮
3:06 funfair with helter-skelter advertising poster 31 October? Hostels and small hotels from 1920's and integrated into the local economy of fishing and market gardens. Plenty of locals and even drinking water delivery by donkey cart with your own amphora jar? Can't believe a household got through 10 litres of wine a day?
Nada que ver con hoy en día, me he ido a Benidorm hace unos años, bueno, tiene todavía cosas bonitas, pero muy distinto, es cierto.
The saddest thing is the genocide that came soon after. Benidorm and nearby towns were devastated by immigration and mass tourism. he people shown in this video were probably the native Valencians who had lived there for centuries and who still constituted the majority of the population of the entire Valencian coastline in the 1950s. They were heavily minoritized a few years later. Now they are almost impossible to find in cities like Benidorm, and their language and culture are almost gone. Benidorm is nothing more than a theme park that has lost its roots and identity.
I hope the people who owned those seafront houses all became property millionaires overnight.
La cúpula azul és d'Altea..
Has not changed much really
It was so beautiful. Why does tourism ruin everything
Modern tourism ruins EVERYTHING ! I will just be happy if the "ruins of the skyscrapers" will be finally blasted. . . (in 25 years from now ?)
Totally ruined just like Marmaris ,bodrum was similar when we visited many years ago,some British are such an embarrassment ! abroad
So sad, that it's now filled with ugly towers 😢
