Sticky Vicky Benidorm

In this article we cover the subject of entertainment and nightlife in the tourist resort of Benidorm, which is located in the Costa Blanca area of Spain. To get to Benidorm most people fly into the international airport at Alicante which is only around an hours drive away. Specifically in this article we talk about one of the most famous entertainment acts in Benidorm which is known as Sticky Vicky.

Benidorm is a very developed tourist resort with apartments and skyscrapers dominating the skyline. Most of these buildings are hotels and apartments catering to the huge amount of visitors who come not only in the summer but throughout the year. The weather in Benidorm in the winter is very mild so people come here for the winter sun and to escape the very harsh winters in Northern Europe.

Because of the vast amount of competing hotels, apartments, restaurants and bars generally prices are very competitive and cheap. Many people visit Benidorm for the amazing variety of evening entertainment. Many of the acts and performers put on shows free of charge. This is because there is a huge amount of bars and nightclubs competing for business in the massive tourist resort of Benidorm. Although Benidorm is a beach resort you will find many people specifically visit purely because of the Benidorm nightlife which is legendary.

The shows can actually be of quite a high quality although many of them are performing cover versions of popular songs. Clearly people would not generally pay for this but the performances in some cases are outstanding. Many of the popular shows are the tribute acts for Meat Loaf, Queen, Take That, Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams, ABBA and West Life.

Sticky Vicky is a show performed by a lady known as the Vicky Leyton, she is actually Spanish but over the years tourists have taken to naming her show as Sticky Vicky which she now performs under. When you are in Benidorm it can be quite confusing because there are a number of imposter’s also claiming to be Sticky Vicky. Make sure you are watching the genuine act which obviously is the best one. All the shows are free of charge, you just need to pay fewer drinks in whatever club you are watching the act. These venues to vary from night to night but may include Jokers or Chaplins bar.

While you are in Benidorm make sure you get down to the promenade and beachfront where there are many great rock bars or so with great entertainment including many good live bands. The Heartbreak bar is probably the best one with regular entertainment in summer and winter.

The Sticky Vicky show is basically a magic act with a difference. It is certainly for open-minded adults and definitely not one for taking the children to. It really is an outrageous magical show and an essential attraction for visitors to Benidorm.

While you are in Benidorm be sure also to visit the fantastic beach of Playa Levante which is the main beach with many activities available such as waterskiing and parasailing. Certainly Benidorm is a tourist resort that has it all. Just be aware that when you visit the resort it is a busy and noisy, happening place with lots to see and do, certainly not the place for a quiet location or holiday!
