Benidorm and the Valencian Community, in Malmö to support Nebulossa and promote both destinations

Last night the Benidorm Fest Euroclub was held, where Miss Caffeína, Varry Brava and Sharonne performed, and which was attended by tour operators from several Nordic countries

Representatives of the City Council and Visit Benidorm and the Tourism Department have traveled to Malmö to support Nebulossa in its appointment with Eurovision and also promote both destinations in the Nordic market. Last night, just 24 hours before Nebulossa premieres at Eurovision, the Inkonst hall in Malmö hosted the Benidorm Fest Euroclub, a musical gala attended by 300 people including the media, tour operators and Eurofans.

The Councilor for Events, Jesús Carrobles, has indicated that with this action “we project the image of the Benidorm Fest among the delegations from all countries and thousands of Eurofans who have traveled to Malmö these days to experience the event live and in first person. Eurovision. And the best way to do it was, without a doubt, with music.” Thus, contestants from the three editions of the Benidorm Fest passed through the Euroclub stage: Miss Caffeína, Varry Brava and Sharonne.

In addition to the screening of the Benidorm Fest, this trip has served to “make known the destination and tourist offer of Benidorm and the Valencian Community in an event in which around 60 tour operators from Nordic countries such as Finland and Sweden itself also participated. ”.

Carrobles has pointed out that “hopefully this action will culminate in the victory of Nebulossa”, who performs tonight in the second semi-final of Eurovision at the Malmö Arena.

In parallel, in Benidorm the assembly of the venue that will house the Euroclub scheduled for this Saturday, coinciding with the final, is being finalised. It will be at the Julio Iglesias auditorium in Parque de l'Aigüera starting at 4:00 p.m., with free entry and will feature Blanca Paloma, Sofía Martín, José Otero, Noan, Mantra, Sharonne, Sofía Coll, Carlos Higues and the Benidorms Locos de Tie. There will also be a performance by DJ Miguel Romá and giant screens to follow the performances and the Eurovision Song Contest itself.
