Irish in Benidorm

This month, the streets of Benidorm livened, not only due to Las Fallas preparations but thanks to the festivity of the Irish residents and visitors.

For the entire day on March 17, Benidorm became a “green zone” for the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. 

St. Patrick is known as one of the city’s most popular festivals, alongside traditional Spanish holidays, and has been celebrated on a grand scale since the 1980s. This year, the city turned entirely green.

From Sunday morning until the next, the streets united people in joyful parades, attracting visitors and locals alike. 

Local bars and restaurants hosted special entertainment, and live music, and offered the finest Irish cuisine with the best beer in town.

It was a celebration for all; despite the nationalities, the Irish spark could not be missed.

The Shamrock Pub, the Guinness Bar and the Hurler, especially stood out with their service of traditional Irish menu specials and live acts, which made the night one to remember.
