Benidorm operates at a scale matched by no other city of its size anywhere in Spain, hosting more hotel beds per capita than any other Spanish municipality and receiving millions of international visitors every year, predominantly from the United Kingdom.
The town has its own Juzgados de Primera Instancia e Instrucción de Benidorm, a judicial district that covers the Marina Baixa comarca and handles a caseload dominated by hospitality, property, and consumer matters tied to the tourism economy.
Benidorm’s distinctive skyline, concentrated in Playa de Levante, Playa de Poniente, and Rincón de Loix, is the result of a specific PGOU framework that allows vertical density on a scale found nowhere else on the Spanish coast, which creates particular legal considerations for apartment-block communities and commercial premises.
At Delaguía y Luzón, our Benidorm work is shaped by the town’s dominant hospitality economy and its large UK visitor and resident base. Hotel property transactions, tourist-accommodation licensing, employment cases under the Convenio Colectivo de Hostelería, and retail-premises leases account for a significant share of our local practice.
Our law firm in Benidorm serves British residents and second-home owners, along with the hospitality operators, retail investors, and real-estate funds that are active in one of Europe’s most concentrated tourism markets.
