Another Benidorm First

For most of them it was the first time they had ever seen the sea!

For a group of elderly visitors from Ciudad Real, just south of Madrid in central Spain, Benidorm provided the opportunity of a lifetime.

Setting off at 8.30am the group of pensioners had a 6 hour long journey to arrive in town by coach but all of them agreed that the long journey had been worth the trouble.

And what was so special about visiting Benidorm? For most of them it was the first time they had ever seen the sea!
