Anyone that has been to Benidorm will be aware of the Yorkshire Pride bars, but did you know they have been in Benidorm for over 25 years?
Back in 1994 Tad opened the first Yorkshire Pride on Calle Gerona, this soon became a success due to the great quality, size and price of the meals and low cost drinks and YP 1 & 2 followed shortly so where ever you are in the New Town area you are never far away from a Yorkshire Pride bar.
Each bar has an extensive menu and every day there is something different on the Specials boards and of course there are also the famous Greedy mans Breakfasts, Fishy Fridays, Steak Saturdays and Sunday Roasts (which are available every day of the week), what ever you are looking for there is something for everyone on a Yorkshire Pride menu.
Sport also features highly at any of the Yorkshire Pride bars as does Karaoke.
Also part of the Yorkshire Pride group is the very popular Karaoke bar the Why Not.
The Why Not bar is considered by many to be Benidorm's number one Karaoke Bar! There is karaoke everyday from 1pm until 3am! They also have special offers on drinks. (please note, food is NOT served here).

Ordering a steak
Entrecot – This is sirloin, one of the tastiest cuts, but not always the tenderest. Lovely meaty flavour. entrey-cott
Solomillo – This one’s filet steak, almost always tender, with very little fat, but not super tasty, so it works well with a sauce. sol-oh-mee-oh
Lomo Alto – This is a ribeye. You don’t find it that often here, but it’s my favourite, well marbled and super tasty! low-mow-al-to
Chuleton – This is a huge steak on the bone. Not quite a T-Bone, but very similar. Great beefy flavour and barbecues beautifully. Too much for one person! chew-let-on
The Spanish tend to have their steak rarer than most other northern Europeans are used to, so when you ask for a medium, you’re very likely to get a rare steak. Here’s how to order:
Poco Hecho (little done) – This means blue or extremely rare. poko-etcho
Medio Hecho (medium done) – This would be rare to medium rare in most countries, so seared on the outside, with a red strip in the middle of the meat and some blood when you cut into it. med-ee-o-etcho
Bien Hecho (well done) – This will be equivalent to a medium, so some red meat, but no blood. bee-en-etcho
If you want your steak without any red meat and cooked all the way through, there isn’t really an equivalent in Spanish, so we suggest saying “Bien hecho, pero sin rojo,” which would be well done, but without red. bee-en-etcho-per-oh-sin-ro-ho
Most Restaurants here will also offer a takeaway service, and some will even have home delivery options via Glovo or Deliveroo and Just Eat,so you can enjoy your meal in the comfort of your own home, contact the restaurant direct for more details.

There are loads of places to get a full British breakfast here in Benidorm whether you are looking for an English/Scottish or Irish version, and where ever you are in the world there is nothing quite like a good old fashioned "Fry up" to start the day off, especially after a few drinks the night before.
As we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
This country has one of the best cuisines in the world, including its traditional breakfast at 11 am. Before that, Spaniards only drink a cup of coffee or have a yogurt, or a glass of juice.
So, if you want to feel like a local, it’s time for you to take a look at the list of 4 top dishes, so you can start trying different but tasty new things at strange hours of the day.
One of the most classic meals for the Spanish morning is toast with pureed tomatoes, a small touch of olive oil and a pinch of salt. It may sound plain, but it is nothing of the sort. The taste of a fresh tomato that has been crushed and served on warm, crispy bread creates a delectable mixture of sensations inside your mouth, that really lets you know that you are now in Spain.
It’s important to remember to have a cup of coffee or a glass of orange juice with this dish, to make the experience complete and perfect.
Fartons with horchata
This is a large and soft piece of sugar-glazed bread, very typical in the Valencia area. You can’t talk about “fartons” without the “horchata” : horchata is a drink very similar to milk but it has a distinctive nutty taste, since it’s made from “chufa”, an edible tuba with similarities to both celery and nutmeg.
Go to your nearest bar and ask for this amazing treat. A mixture of sugar and cinnamon wrapped up in 8-inch lengths of dough, you will never taste something more Spanish than this.
You will have to order it with a cup of hot chocolate.
The ultimate classic and most delicious of all, the Spanish omelette. Ordering a “pincho” of tortilla in any bar feels like you’re asking for a slice of pizza. It’s made with eggs and fresh potato, ready to be served with a glass of orange juice or typical “cortado” and a piece of bread.
Taxis in Benidorm - It goes without saying that you should only use legally licensed taxis, not only are these subject to regulation regarding pricing and other aspects, you are also protected both regarding your consumer rights and in the unfortunate case of an accident. The local taxi company here is Radio Taxi Telephone number : 965 86 26 26.
You can also book online with Coin Taxi(they also use Radio Taxi in Benidorm and are a sponsored project from the Spanish Radio Taxi Association). You can download the app and order your taxi on the app or online on their website.
There are various taxi ranks all over Benidorm, far too many to mention, you can also flag a taxi down if it is showing a green light.
All taxis must have current tariffs and supplements clearly visible, often stuck to the rear windows or behind the front seats. Additionally, the taximeter must be in view of the passengers and not hidden away. When you request a receipt, some taxis are able to provide a printed receipt whilst others will have to fill a blank receipt in by hand. Either way you have a legal right to request a receipt, and this is what you will need in case of any claim for overcharging. Remember that on the receipt the license number must be shown. Also, all taxi drivers must carry official claims forms – Before you leave the taxi make sure you note down the taxi license number, date, time of day and the route taken.
Passengers have a right to choose the route they wish to take, but the local taxis will have more knowledge of traffic, ongoing road works and one-way systems.
NEWS - 2nd April - The Valencian government has looked favourably on a request from Benidorm taxi operators for price rises, that are more or less in line with inflation.
The maximum rise across the categories of transport will be 6.67%, with many different lower variations on this increase depending on the services given.
One thing to be aware of is a proposed "minimum fare"..... regardless of distance travelled. This will be 5€ during daytime shifts, and 6€ during nigh times.
The proposed rises have to be approved by the town hall, but that seems just a formality, given that Valencia has already given it the "thumbs up".
Transport for people with disabilities - Radio Taxi have taxis for people with reduced mobility with wheelchair and scooters of all kinds, request an adapted taxi when booking.
Taxis for 7/9 people - If you need to make trips to the airport or Renfe station of Alicante? Contact Radio Taxi for a quote.
Pets - Radio Taxi can transport your pet safely. You just have to call them a few minutes in advance to advise what the animal is and how you take it to be transported. Radio Taxi are Pet Friendly!!!
Taxis in Benidorm, The Cost - General Information
The meter moves according to distance, not speed, however the meter also ticks over during traffic jams, traffic lights and drivers are allowed to charge for waiting time – if you book a taxi to pick you up at home make sure you don’t keep the driver waiting! Many regions include a basic price just for taking a taxi and some also fix a minimum fare regardless of how far you travel. Night tariffs will be more expensive.
If you want to make a longer journey, for example between two towns, then the price isn’t covered by the meter but is fixed by the regional authorities and covers the whole cost of the trip for the taxi driver (in other words, outbound and return).
Going to or coming from the airport (or train station or similar destination) is sometimes subject to a supplement, depending on the city. This can be confusing as it can result in different costs depending on where the trip originates, once again these supplements must be indicated in the tariffs shown inside the taxi.
A GUIDE price to some local destinations - Obviously these prices will vary depending upon your exact location and are only a guide, the prices quoted below are from the centre of the new town (opposite Zodiac Cabaret Bar), Sundays and Fiesta days will be the higher price.
Mundomar/Aqualandia - 7.00€ - 10.00€
Old Town - 6.00€ - 8.00€
Rincon del Loix & The Cross - 5.00€ - 7.00€
Hotel Gran Bali, La Cala - 11.00€ - 14.00€
Terra Mitica/Natura - 11.00€ - 14.00€
Altea - 18.00€ - 23.00€
