Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Benidorm A Great Holiday Destination for the Whole Family

By David Henry

Benidorm has been a favourite amongst holiday makers since the 1960s. Situated on the Western Mediterranean, this Valencian city has grown and developed with visitors in mind. Protected by the mountains, Benidorm has a temperate climate varying between 15 and 32 degrees centigrade.

One of the most important things to get sorted for most people is the accommodation. There is a wide selection of hotels in Benidorm so youre sure to find the best one for your wallet. Try to identify and book your accommodation as far in advance as possible because hotels in Benidorm fill up fast " especially for the high seasons months when Benidorm hotels are in big demand. If staying in a generic hotel where you dont know who has access to your room during the day doesnt thrill you, why not consider renting one of the Benidorm apartments for your holiday? There are many apartments in Benidorm to choose from so whether you want a place where you can hold a party, or somewhere your baby can cry without having hotel management knocking on the door, Benidorm apartments offer a great alternative. If youre staying more than a week, or travelling in a group, you might even find it saves you money!

Benidorm has a wide range of activities for everyone and most of them are reasonably priced, despite having a reputation of being a great tourist based city. One thing you should consider however is that its rarely quiet, so if you prefer your holidays peaceful, Benidorm probably isnt the ideal holiday destination for you.

Outside the city itself, there are some breathtaking natural wonders, like the waterfalls behind Altea. This protected area is home to several unique species of plant, the Railway mining tour and the Algar Cactus co. Its considered one of Benidorms top attractions. Slightly further afield the Caves of Canelobre are a must see for tourists. Approximately 40km from Benidorm, the caves are a natural attraction that continues to slowly grow.

Familes can enjoy one of the numerous resort based theme parks, and each caters to a different type of entertainment seeker. Terra Mitcha is a traditional style theme park with rides comparatable to Alton Towers or Thorpe Park. Thrill seekers can visit one of five areas and experience the main rides, or alternatively for those who are not thrill-seeking, the other smaller rides that populate the areas. With the longest wooden rollercoaster in Europe, a Ball Rollercoaster, and even more in the Rome district, families with rollercoaster or thrill aficionados cant go wrong.

Terra Natura is a combination of zoo and theme park - with a twist. It boasts no natural barriers and the animals are kept in an environment that is natural to them. With five different areas to travel through, those with an interest in nature will be captivated by the sights, sounds and smells of this park. Aqualandia, a water theme park, has over 20 rides and areas, from sedate to heart pumping and its a great way to spend a day, or even days. It offers extremely good value for money for families looking for a way to amuse their children.

If youre looking for more of a singles or nightlife based vibe to your holiday, Benidorm has it all. Globally recognised as a great party spot, DJs from all over visit Benidorm and play sets during the summer months, so youre sure to find something to suit your taste at one of the major nightclubs. The bar scene too is incredibly diverse and boasts some of the best entertainment in the area, while eating out and partying the night away are a standard pre-requisite of the 18-30s holidays here. The beaches can be a bit crowded during the day, and in the summer the bars and nightclubs are too, but you cant beat the atmosphere.

Benidorm is a great holiday destination for the whole family. But if youre young, free and single " youll love it!
