Success of the Gold edition of the Reggaeton Beach Festival in Benidorm

The event met the musical and organisational expectations and took place completely normally.

The Gold edition of the Reggaeton Beach Festival in Benidorm, which took place last weekend at the new multipurpose facilities in Foietes, has been a complete “success”, meeting “the musical and organisational expectations of the public”, according to the Councillor for Events, Jesús Carrobles.

"We are talking about a festival that is fully consolidated in our city, which has already held five editions, which grows year after year, always attentive to improving services and production, with new features that improve the experience of attendees and which is undoubtedly an attraction for young audiences."

The councillor recalled that “Reggaeton Beach is the first of three festivals that will take place in municipal facilities during the summer and early autumn”. Three festivals, he said, that “have already become established events in the city's calendar and that contribute to positioning Benidorm on the national circuit and in the musical and cultural tourism segment”.

Carrobles, who is also in charge of the Citizen Security area, explained that “as was certified during the inspection carried out at the festival by municipal inspectors, the security and health measures included in the Self-Protection Plan were strictly complied with, both in terms of the number of personnel and staff provided by the organisation and in terms of emergency measures”.

In this regard, the councillor recalled that “more than 200 people have made up this device, between the means provided by the company and the personnel assigned by the Local Police, the National Police Force and Civil Protection”.

The Events and Public Safety Officer reported that “the festival has taken place completely normally, with no significant incidents occurring during the event.” In total, 146 medical attentions were provided in the venue over the two days, mostly minor injuries due to sprains or sunstroke, and only one person was taken to hospital.

This overall number of attendees represents “around 34% less than in the previous edition”, while “transfers have been reduced by 80%”.

Carrobles also pointed out that “the traffic system has also worked well during the development and end of the festival day, especially considering the volume of vehicles that Benidorm currently has.”

Costa Blanca! Here’s what’s happening across the region this week

BENIDORM: Major Music Festival Returns for 2026

The city of Benidorm is preparing for another busy summer season with the return of the Indiverso Festival, scheduled for 18 July 2026 at the SkyFest venue. Organisers say the event will feature leading indie artists and DJs and is expected to attract thousands of visitors to the resort.

Local officials say the festival forms part of a broader cultural programme aimed at strengthening Benidorm’s reputation as one of Spain’s leading entertainment destinations.

Meanwhile, the city continues to promote its Poniente district redevelopment, with luxury residential towers and smart-city infrastructure positioning the area as a premium investment location on the Costa Blanca.

LA NUCÍA: International Rally Event Returns

Motorsport fans will soon be heading to La Nucía as the Rallye La Nucía Mediterráneo prepares to return to the region. The rally is considered one of the most exciting sporting events on the Costa Blanca calendar and attracts drivers and spectators from across Europe.

Local authorities expect the event to provide a significant boost to tourism and hospitality businesses across the Marina Baixa region.

ALTEA: Cultural Events Continue to Draw Visitors

The coastal town of Altea continues to maintain its reputation as one of the Costa Blanca’s cultural hubs, hosting exhibitions and concerts throughout the year. Recent cultural programmes include art exhibitions and music performances at local cultural centres designed to promote local artists and international talent.

The town’s historic old quarter and arts scene remain key attractions for both tourists and residents.

ALFAZ DEL PI: Infrastructure Updates and Community Notices

Residents in L'Alfàs del Pi have been notified of scheduled maintenance works affecting electricity supplies in some neighbourhoods this week as part of routine infrastructure upgrades.

Local authorities say the work is necessary to improve reliability across the area’s expanding residential zones.

FINESTRAT: Continued Growth in Property Demand

The municipality of Finestrat continues to see strong interest from international property buyers, particularly those seeking homes close to Benidorm’s beaches while living in a quieter setting.

Analysts say the wider Costa Blanca property market remains attractive to foreign buyers, though the market has become more selective and data-driven as investors look for long-term value.

Local planners say residential development in the area continues to expand alongside tourism and commercial infrastructure.

REGIONAL: Festivals and Spring Celebrations Begin

Across the wider Costa Blanca North, towns are preparing for traditional spring celebrations including Fallas festivals, which bring fireworks, music, and cultural parades to communities throughout the region.

These events mark the start of the region’s busy tourism season, with visitors expected to arrive in large numbers over the coming months.
