A bonding day for Alicante Beauties

ANYONE visiting the Mirador lookout at the Castillo in Benidorm recently would have been forgiven for doing a double-take.

Benidorm’s streets are currently graced with Falleras wearing their traditional Valenciana costumes, but here at the Castillo were countless Belleas, literally Beauties, from Alicante City.

Each represents an Hoguera that will be burnt during Alicante City’s own fire fiestas on June 24, and this was a bonding day for the young women who aspire to become the Bellea del Foc who presides the fiesta.
