Benidorm is one of the most popular destinations for sun-worshipping Brits (file) (Image: Getty) Believe it or not, it's not always sunny in the Brit-filled land of Benidorm. The popular holiday destination, located in Alicante, Spain , has garnered an infamous reputation due to its party-mad strip, slew of English Breakfast cafes, and golden sandy beaches. Due to its 'sheltered position' on the east coast, Benidorm has some of the Mediterranean's highest summer temperatures - with July and August being particularly dry and sunny.
Even in the winter, Benidorm sees less rain than other European destinations, with around a quarter of the rainfall that we get in Manchester in February. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.

The sky may not be its usual blue, but tourists don't seem to be affected, still jumping into the sea and lounging on the beach. "You can see the watersports kiosk are still open - that means you can still book stuff," he said.
"Now remember, yellow flags are up in the water, that means the conditions can change quickly and they don't recommend you go into the sea." He added: "But here we go, Benidorm in the rain.
