## Summary

Thousands of British tourists travelled to Benidorm for its annual fancy dress festivities, held from 6 to 11 November and ending with fireworks on Poniente Beach. The event has grown into a city-wide celebration, drawing visitors to bars and clubs as well as the parade, and is a major draw for stag and hen parties.

Costumes included Fred Flintstone, Minions, SpongeBob and characters from the film The Mask, alongside groups dressed as bees, bikers and “ladies of the lamp”. The November tradition began in the 1990s, started by the owners of a local bar. An estimated 30,000 people attended last year, including about 9,000 who travelled specifically for the festivities.
