The new phenomenon of "Glamping" is here: Camping with Glamor.

The camping has generated some passions and distrusts since its generalization as a new form of tourism, back in the 60s. Traveling in motorhome or with a trailer was almost a new form of adventure that became popular in our country, which also had suitable climate and landscape to become a paradise for campers from all over Europe.
The camping enthusiasts highlighted the most flexibility and the best prices as the main advantages of camping in nature, compared to conventional accommodations such as hostels and hotels. His detractors, however, fled from what some considered an uncomfortable tourist solution and not very glamorous, with no privacy or comfort.
The XXI century, which will possibly go down in history as the one for tourism innovation, has brought, among many other interesting trends in consumption, the maximum customization of the tourist experience as essential tip of any business in the service sector. There is no longer "good and bad" in tourism, or "expensive or cheap." Today, luxury is precisely for the traveller to choose.
Thus, a post hippy concept like camping, the most innovative tourism businesses have managed to evolve towards the 'glamping', born from the union of 'camping' and 'glamor'.
This concept is based on the sophistication of the concept of outdoor camping, providing the traveller with luxury services in first class accommodations. It is simply raising the stay in the countryside to the premium category level, and it is not too far from concept of the expeditions or the camping journeys from the European wealthy travellers to areas where there were no five-star hotels so they had to rest under starry skies, as the African savannah or the Middle East.
 The range of choice is immense: there are tipis, jaimas or cabanas in which the decoration and the equipment are cared to the last detail: king size beds, private bathroom with toiletries, towels, electricity and hot water exactly like they could find in any hotel.
Camping Villasol in Benidorm, is a magnificent example of Glamping in Benidorm. High class accommodation, with services and facilities like a hotel, but where the customers do not have to renounce the atmosphere and the flexibility of a campsite. Among its wide range available, we can highlight the Resort and the Suites as models of 'glamping'.
The Resort is characterized by being located in a private setting surrounded by an exclusive garden of subtropical vegetation.
The campsite has sixteen deluxe bungalows fully equipped and decorated in a modern and cosy way, creating an innovative concept of accommodation.

Meanwhile, the suites are very spacious and fully equipped rooms designed to enjoy nature and the atmosphere of camping but with the comfort of a hotel room.
 Each suite has its own bathroom, a splendid private terrace and a parking adjacent, not forgetting facilities such as WIFI and television.
In addition, Camping Villasol offers a restaurant and cafeteria, outdoor pool with poolside snack bar, heated pool, supermarket, shower block, basketball and petanque courts.
Camping Villasol is the most complete and updated experience of 'glamping in Benidorm' in a privileged environment as is the city of Benidorm.

Music festivals in Benidorm; a little bit of history

Thinking in today´s music festivals in Benidorm undoubtedly leads you to the Low Festival. Since 2008, year after year, the summer festival of indie, pop, rock and electronic music becomes a benchmark for the Spanish music scene.

Known as the best national pop-rock festival, Iberia Festival is undoubtedly one of the most attractive for lovers of Spanish pop-rock music. Since 2013, in only two editions, has managed to become one of the most anticipated events of the national rock calendar.

In the first edition of the Benidorm song festival, which took place in 1959, 1335 songs competed, what surpassed the organizer's expectations. 1335 tittles fought for the Little Mermaid (prize of the festival), which finally won the song "El Telegrama". 

Benidorm, as a "good" Levantine city, is a place in which music has become ingrained in its history.

When we think about music in Benidorm, the Benidorm International Song Festival always comes to our mind. From the second half of the 20th century, the most important Spanish artists and performers made their début in this contest.

Beginning of the Benidorm International Song Festival

Such was the success of the first edition that, for the second one, in 1960 the Festival was another character in the film "Festival de Benidorm" with Manolo Bur and Conchita Velasco.

Throughout its twenty-five editions, important artists like Julio Iglesias (winner in 1968 with "La vida sigue igual"), "el Dúo Dinámico" or Raphael became well-known; Karina or Manolo Otero made also their début in the early years of the contest. .
In the early 70s began to decline, partly because of the lack of quality of the songs presented, partly because of the lack of appeal to younger audiences.
It was not held between 1979 and 1984 and after attempt in 1985 to rescue the Festival, it was not until 1993 that it was held again. In this last period, until 2006, the interest of both public and media was declining until its total disappearance; still, great singers participated in the Festival such as Passion Vega or Rosana Arbelo

 Music in Benidorm, another tourist attraction
After many years, the Festival of the Song of Benidorm was losing his drive as a catalyst for musical activity in Benidorm, leaving his inheritance.

In the last 20 years Benidorm has been and almost obligatory stop for many touring artists and national and international groups; Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Marc Anthony are just some of the examples of international stars who have been in Benidorm.

The Benidorm Palace, "core" of music in Benidorm
The Benidorm Palace is one of the vital centers when it comes to music in Benidorm.
With nearly 40 years of history, what began as a village hall has been changing its course to become the stage where shows as "The Color of Music" and performances by national and international artists like Fangoria, Ara Malikian, David Bisbal and Alejandro Sanz were presented

Music festivals today in Benidorm
Currently in Benidorm holds two main musical events at national level such as the Iberia Festival and the Low Festival. The first one aimed at an audience around 40 years of a more serious and quiet nature.
The second one aimed at a younger audience, seeking nightlife, cheap accommodation in hotels or campsites in Benidorm, which practically lives at night and sleeps during the day.

Iberia 2.0

In its second edition, in October 2015, with Rosendo, La Union and Los Toreros Muertos headlining, the stage of the Auditorium Julio Iglesias welcomed rockers from the 80s until today: Ariel Rot, Jaime Urrutia or the Rebels , among others, to the delight of nostalgic and "new rockers" for two days.

For the 2016 edition artists have not been released yet.
More information on the festival website: http://iberiafestival.com/

Low Festival

The stage, mounted in Guillemo Amor -Benidorm’ s sport city-, has been visited in the last seven years by international artists like Portishead and The Kooks and national artists like Fangoria or Los Planetas. . For the 2016 edition - to be held between the 29th and 31st of July -. Headliners as Vetusta Morla (in their only concert in Levante) Belle and Sebastian have already been confirmed.
