ENGLISH CORNER, CON LINDA JIMÉNEZ – This week’s trivia question: How has Covid affected the Benidorm community and its services?
Benidorm is a town in the province of Alicante on the Eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain. It is mostly known as a tourist destination with its sandy beaches, many hotels and high-rise buildings. The permanent population is about 70,000 inhabitants. Not a town where you would expect to find a Jewish community, but the fact is that there is a well-established one, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. This week we are speaking with Philip Bowick, the President of the Benidorm Community, about its history and also its current situation and prospects for the future.
