Record occupancy rates in Alicante hotels this August Figures throughout the Costa Blanca matched those for Benidorm last month

Despite increased foreign visitor numbers in the Comunidad Valenciana this year some hotels in Valencia have reported an “irregular” summer season, but in the Costa Blanca it seems that occupancy rates have been significantly higher than in the summer of 2015 and hotels were almost full to capacity.

Record occupancy rates in Alicante hotels this August

During August the occupancy rate in hotels in Benidorm, the largest resort, was 93%, which is more or less what might be expected in the number one Costa Blanca destination, but a far more significant increase is reported by the Comunidad Valencia’s tourist authorities in the rest of the province of Alicante. Here, unusually, the rate very nearly matched that of Benidorm at 92.6%, the highest ever recorded and an improvement of 14 points in comparison with the equivalent month in 2015.

In Benidorm the month of September has begun equally encouragingly, with 94% of all hotel rooms occupied, but in the rest of the province the traditional late summer downturn has been in evidence with a rate of 73.6% (seven points higher than last year but not as positive as the 80.7% in the Comunidad Valenciana as a whole).

Bonfires of San Juan (Alicante)

Bonfires of San Juan (Alicante).
Thousands of people throng the streets to pay a tribute to fire and experience a celebration ful of music and fireworks and bonfires to celebrate the arrival of summer.
The people of Alicante would traditionally flock to the countryside on 23 June for a festive dinner: they feasted on typical products, and at midnight they would light bonfires and dance around them, set off fireworks and go swimming in the sea. This custom endured over the years, and in 1928 the fiestas of the Bonfires of San Juan were formally constituted. For several days, Alicante celebrates this great homage to fire, where the stars of the show are genuine works of ephemeral art: the bonfires and the enormous cardboard and wooden figures which go up in flames on the night of San Juan.
The queen of the fiesta, known as the “Bellea del Foc” (“Beauty of Fire”), is chosen in May from among the candidates presented by a committee in each neighbourhood. The festivities officially begin on 20 June with the “plantà”, or building of enormous bonfires with their tongue-in-cheek cardboard figures which fill the streets of Alicante with wit and good humour. That day the “barracas” or large tents are also put up to serve as a public dance floor, and where fiesta-goers can sample the typical figs and “cocas” (a kind of pastry with tuna, onions and pine nuts). Some of the highlights of the festivities include the Entry of the Bands and Committees, with their respective “beauties” and their ladies-in-waiting wearing traditional dress; the floral offering to the patron saint of the city, the Virgin of El Remedio on 21 and 22 June; and the international folklore parade, a spectacular procession featuring dance troupes from all over the world. In addition, every day at two in the afternoon from 19 to 24 June, there are firework displays in Plaza de los Luceros square: these are the ear-splitting “mascletàs”, for which ear-plugs are highly recommended due to the racket of the exploding firecrackers and rockets. And finally at midnight on 24 June comes the “cremà” (burning), the high point of the fiestas. After a spectacular white palm tree of fireworks, the bonfires all over the city are set alight and blaze away amid much merriment and dancing and singing, while fire-fighters shower the merrymakers with water in what is known as the “banyá”.But the fiesta is not over yet. From 25 to 29 June there is a fireworks competition on the El Postiguet beach, and the historic centre of the town comes alive with a medieval market and a range of shows.

Finding Vacation Deals Without Going Beyond Your Budget

images Finding Vacation Deals Without Going Beyond Your Budget

It can be fun to take an overseas trip with your family. But sometimes steep travel expenses can get in the way. Expensive airfare and accommodation can leave you overshooting your budget. However, there are vacation deals out there which you may grab that come with affordable price tags.

You will find that cheap vacations aren’t that hard to find if you know where to look for one. It’s important that you plan your trip very early on. This enables you to scour for discounted airfare and hotel stay, two things that take up lots of the budget you set for traveling. It may take some time and effort to find them. But when you consider the savings, you know that the extra work is worth everything.

Smaller airlines tend to offer the cheapest seats in town. However, it’s also possible for large airlines to offer such. By visiting their websites, you can find affordable deals being offered. They’re available mostly whenever there are empty seats to be filled so the company can rake in profit. So that you can grab last minute vacations like that, your travel schedule should be flexible enough to allow you to fly when such is available.

Speaking of travel schedule, try to go on a trip during off-peak times of the year. There are lesser tourists going to a particular destination during such times. Steer clear of visiting a place where there are many beaches during summer as the trip can be very costly. For instance, if you like to enjoy cheap Cuba vacations, go there during off-peak times.

It’s not just the airfare that’s lower during off-peak times of the year, but the accommodation as well. Everything tends to come more affordable in order to attract customers when tourism is low. Make sure to have a copy of the local calendar of the place you’re planning to visit. While you may have to skip witnessing famous celebrations, avoiding peak seasons will keep your pocket from ending up with a massive hole in it.

Remember to go for a hotel that’s located as far away as possible from where the hustle and bustle can be found. They include popular tourist destinations and shopping and business zones. For sure room rates in these areas come with steep price tags. Also, consider the amenities you can live without during the retreat. You really won’t need a swimming pool if the place has lots of pristine beaches.

You can find vacation packages within your means in cyberspace. Access different travel sites and try to compare the deals they offer to find the best one. Signing up with their newsletters or agreeing to receive e-mail notifications saves you from the need to constantly visit the site.

Cheap vacation deals may also be found at your local travel agency. See to it that you let your trusted travel agent know that you have a very limited budget. From time to time, the agency has exclusive offers which you can grab. Going for travel packages oftentimes keep your from overshooting your budget when taking the vacation of your dreams.

A Handful Of Approaches To Spend Your Time In Hotels

images A Handful Of Approaches To Spend Your Time In Hotels

Sometimes when you are on vacation, you are going to need to kill a bit of time inside of your hotel. Hotels can either be incredibly relaxing, or incredibly boring places. It is up to you to make the most of your time in them.

If the climate is right, see if your hotel has a swimming pool. Not only is swimming a very relaxing way to spend your time, it is also a great form of exercise. It works out the entire body and gives your lungs a real work out. If you forget your swimsuit, most travel destinations will offer stores that will let you buy one. Though, it is probably cheaper to just bring one from home.

Most places will put a television in every room. Watching TV can be an excellent way to relax as well. Usually when you switch on the TV, there will be a menu where you can also buy movies or play video games. Be warned though, most movies offered cost a lot of money, so try to watch them sparingly if you want to save.

An alternative to purchasing movies is to simply bring your laptop computer and a cord that connects your laptop to the television. That way, you can bring your own DVDs and Blu-Rays and watch whatever is in your own personal media library.

Another way of passing time is to read a book. Books stimulate your mind and help you take a mental vacation for a little while. There are a variety of subjects you can read about, from a variety of genres. Whether you want to read fictional novels, books about history, or books that help you increase your financial IQ, reading is a great way to increase your knowledge about a variety of topics. Try to take some time to read if you don’t ordinarily get in your daily life.

If you’re hungry, there should be a directory of services in your room. Either order room service or look for a restaurant inside of the hotel. Room service can be fun, and even romantic, though, so try to do it at least once, if only for the novelty of it. If you’re going to order, try and order earlier or later in the day because rush hour times can take a while.

Try and see if your hotel has a gym that you can work out at. Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t need to exercise. Plus, the exercise will not only liven your mood, it will make you feel accomplished while you’re taking a break from work! Weight lifting, running, using the elliptical machine, or bicycling are all great ways to pass the time. Even if you don’t feel like working out very hard, doing a stretching routine in your room will be really beneficial.

There are many different ways to spend your time in hotels, so try to pick the ways that are most appealing to you. Be sure to relax, have fun, and be healthy!
