What should I pack when moving to Benidorm?
We asked people living in Benidorm to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Benidorm, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for the Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the hot summers and warmer clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack swimwear for the beach and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city. You should also pack essential toiletries, although keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have enough to last until you can arrange a local supply. Bring any necessary electrical items such as your laptop, phone, and chargers. Remember that Spain uses Type F power sockets, so you may need to bring a travel adapter. If you're planning to work or study, pack any necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, work permit, or university acceptance letter. It's also a good idea to bring copies of important documents like your birth certificate or medical records. Pack some of your favorite books, photos, or small mementos to make your new place feel like home. Lastly, don't forget to pack a Spanish phrasebook or dictionary to help you navigate the language, especially if you're not yet fluent in Spanish," said another expat in Benidorm, Spain.
