Saturday 1 March to Tuesday 4 March
Old Town, Benidorm, Spain
Benidorm Carnival is all about the coming of Spring. Commencing the Saturday before Ash Wednesday with a children’s parade at 10am and the adult procession at about 8.30pm; fancy dress takes centre stage with winners declared at the end. On the Tuesday, Carnival culminates with The Burial of the Sardine which historically signified the end of winter and the start of the fishing season. The poor sardine is transported through the streets of the Old Town to Poniente Beach where it will meet an inglorious end.
Tuesday 11 March to Friday 14 March
Benidorm, Spain
As odd as it may sound, Cheltenham Week has become a designated period for flying out to Benidorm for a mini-break. And why not? The hotels and bars have huge screens, the sun is invariably shining – it can even be hot – and the vibe is unbeatable. An additional bonus is that St Patrick’s Day is always floating about somewhere close to Cheltenham – this year on the Monday after the festival – and Benidorm’s Las Fallas brings the Spanish to the party. So the real question is – why wouldn’t you come to Benidorm during Cheltenham Week? Check out our Ode to Cheltenham to get you in the mood.
Saturday 15 March to Wednesday 19 March
Benidorm, Spain
The Valencian region’s internationally recognised Las Fallas takes place in the city of Valencia each March. Check out our 48 Hours in Valencia blog if you fancy visiting Spain’s greatest city (in our opinion!). But back to Benidorm’s own no less impressive Fallas where you can join in the party and bear witness to the effigy burning without needing to leave the resort. As part of the street parties and procession of the ninots, the effigies themselves, Las Fallas is famous for the screeching noise of the mascletás, a firecracker so loud it’s almost impossible to describe. The burning – cremà – always takes place on the 19th – Day of San José, and Father’s Day in Spain, too – and you can watch the flames in three areas of town: Rincón de Loix (Burger King), Centro (Bristol Hotel) and Els Tolls (c/Tomàs Ortuño).

Calle Gerona, Benidorm, Spain
Like almost everywhere else, Benidorm embraces the Irish patron saint day as if it were their own. Tens of thousands of British holidaymakers come to Benidorm specifically to be here for St Patrick’s Day. All dressed in green, the craic and the buzz are electric. The bars put on even more music and shows during the day – our Show Calendar will keep you informed – and the partying goes on until the early hours. This year St Patrick’s Day is in the middle of Benidorm’s famous Las Fallas festival and at the end of Cheltenham Week, so if you’re thinking of coming to Benidorm this year, March sounds good – sláinte!
