When it comes to being a tourist ghetto in Europe there is no competition. Benidorm was first and here they are still the greatest. Elton John is said to love Benidorm and Benidorm is all that Elton is accused to be: spectacular, plastic, affable, magnificent, and banal. In the bar Steptoes II, an Elton tribute is still played with great success. Benidorm was built in the 50s as a tourist resort for the working class and the great masses in Europe. Until the tourism industry marched in Benidorm was a quiet fishing village. Today the city is completely dominated by the tourism industry with hotels, apartment sky rises and beaches. During a night out in Benidorm you can visit the 25 gay bars in the city.
