Due to requests from our members we have created an option to permit users to browse the site free of adverts in exchange for a small subscription. We also intend to gradually add special offers that will be only available to subscribers.
In fact the first of these offers is already in place
We have 10% off Abas Transfers.
We have 9% of Jet Ski Adventures, Crazy Sofa, Banana Boat, Flyfish and Parasailing
More will follow soon.
So for example, if you subscribe 2€ to browse the site free of adverts, you can get 1€ per person per direction OFF the standard price of an Abas Transfer.
- For one person travelling return that is a saving of 2€ 18.00€ instead of 20€. You will have gotten your money back straight away.
- If there are 4 passengers in your party travelling the price is 72€ instead of 80€. Not bad for a 2€ investment!
Question: So what happens if I subscribe, book the transfer and then cancel the subscription?
Answer: Your plan will work! You subscribe, book the transfer with the discount and then cancel the subscription. The offers will still be available until after the subscription month has passed, at which time the adverts will re-appear again and codes will no longer be usable. There is no request to return your discount, but there is also no refund of your subscription
Question: Then why should I continue with the subscription?
Answer: Because long term subscribers will be invited to join the VIP Lounge where the savings offered will be even higher. Remember we are starting with Airport transfers, but in time we hope to add Accommodation, Entradas and more.
*For example One Week for two people in Gemelos 22 Apartments in July is (at time of writing) priced at 749€ on one of the most popular booking sites. We will be offering VIP Members the same accommodation at 647€. That is a saving of 102€ when you might have subscribed 2€ per month for a year at a total of 24€.*
*please note this is an example only of what we hope to offer in the near future. But for now, feel free to contact admin if booking accommodation and we will see what we can do*
In time we hope to turn the VIP Lounge into an elite club of Holiday offers, but we need your support to do it. So for now, let's start with airport transfers and a few other activities.
Business users will be given free subscriptions if they require them. We do not expect you to pay twice. Just contact a member of admin

Homeless on the Streets - Benidorm, Albir, Altea
Homeless on the Streets - Benidorm, Albir, Altea - There are so many reasons why people end up living on the streets in our towns and cities and thankfully, there are many people willing to support them in whatever way they can. Be that giving them some change, buying or making food, donating to charities or as the amazing volunteers from Project 4 All and City Streets Community Project Benidorm do each day, giving up their time and money to make sure they are fed and taken care of.
However, it's so sad to read some people's views and assumptions as to why they have ended up in this situation. Many are quick to judge that they have problems with alcohol or substance abuse whereas, this is just a small percentage of the reason why they are without a home. Occasionally, they may turn to alcohol as a means to escape the reality they face each day, but, wouldn't we all if that was our life?
For those without savings or friends and family to hold them afloat in times of trouble, we are all just a couple of pay checks away from losing our home and being in the same situation.
How you can help the legitimately homeless on the streets of Benidorm, Albir and Altea - Local Charities are always looking for volunteers for either cooking or driving? Or food donations are always welcome? Please contact the Project 4 All or City Streets Community Project Benidorm and be the change you want to see!
PROJECT 4 ALL is an all-inclusive, self-funded, non-profit organization that relies solely on donations.
Coffee 4 All - Homeless Support - Make some ones day a little brighter by visiting the cafes, bars and restaurants listed on Coffee 4 All Facebook page. This ensures they know they can eat that day and that there are people out there that care.
1. Ask a member of staff in a participating venue for a Post-it note.
2. Write the item you are donating. Drink/Sandwich etc.
3. Give your note and donation to a member of staff.
4. Smile, knowing you've made someone's day that little bit easier.
City Streets Community Project Benidorm Helping to reduce poverty and hunger on the City Streets.
Even sadder is that here in Benidorm, just like every other large town or city, there are some that appear homeless, but are part of organised groups, these prey on the sympathy of tourists. These people are actually driven into the local towns and placed in strategic spots, purely to obtain money during their shift, they are then collected at the end of the day and driven home to split their profits. If you are in any doubt if some one is genuinely homeless or not, please DO NOT give money, but food and water.
Therefore, with help from Project 4 All we will be sharing stories from some of the people on our local streets, and we hope by doing so, we will not only highlight how these men and women ended up here, and what their ideal life would be like in the future, but most importantly, to give them a name.
They once lived "normal" lives with a home, family, children, employment, dreams....
We want them to know they are not invisible.
Sometimes just a friendly "hello" from a stranger can mean the most...
DANNY BENIDORM - 2nd January 2025 - It is with great sadness that we can confirm that Dutch Danny has passed away. R.I.P Danny xxxx
Danny was well known by many after spending years living on the streets of Benidorm.
MEET NICO
Nico is 57 years old and is living by the port in Altea. He has a tent and sleeping bag provided by Project 4 All, who check in with him and provide him with meals, clean clothes and support.
Originally from Romania, he speaks excellent Spanish after moving to Spain 23 years ago.
He has been homeless for five years and was originally staying in the campo before coming to the port area three years ago.
He has done many jobs, both in Romania and here in Spain, including working on tanks and for various construction companies.
Unfortunately, due to an accident which shattered his ankle, leaving him dependent on crutches and unable to work, he was eventually forced to use a wheelchair, which was also provided by the charity. He is currently waiting for hospital treatment to see if anything more can be done for him.
As is usually the case, there were other personal circumstances which led to Nico becoming homeless.
In an ideal world, he would like to receive his pension from Romania and stay here in Spain with a small studio or apartment one day. However, as he can't get back home to complete the paperwork in person, this is proving very difficult.
Nico told us about his love for live music and past visits with friends to Restaurant Mantenía in Benidorm, which served his favourite soup, Ciorbă de burtă and Mici, a spicy, garlic sausage. Unfortunately, it's been a few years since he has been able to visit...
It's important we realise the people we walk past daily, have lived normal lives with family and friends around them, but sometimes they find themselves alone in a situation they never expected.
However, every time Project 4 All stop for a chat, they see many people saying hello, or dropping a few cents in his flat cap.
As we've not been able to find a venue in Altea to join Coffee 4 All yet, these donations are very much needed so he can get what he needs from the local supermarket.
If you are in the area, please wave and say hi to Nico and let him know he is not invisible.

Spain's Animal Welfare Act - March 2023
Mandatory Dog Insurance. POSTPONED. The new law requires all dog owners to secure public liability insurance for each pet. This obligation was expected to come into effect on September 29th, 2023, but has now been POSTPONED.
Article 30 of the legislation explicitly states that individuals who own dogs must engage and sustain civil liability insurance coverage for potential third-party damages throughout the animal’s lifespan.
Individuals with existing home contents insurance policies may already have some degree of coverage for their pets. However, come September, another requirement will be necessary – dogs included in an insurance policy must have a microchip, which is also law.
You will find that each town hall and autonomous region has it’s own regulations on dog ownership.
Dog ownership courses in Spain -POSTPONED.
The new law adds a point that has caused much controversy: all people who own or want to own a dog must take a free course, regardless of their breed or physical characteristics, in advance or, if already owned, within a maximum period of two years from the entry into force of the new regulation.
According to the BOE, the course in question must be carried out by all those people who "choose to be owners of dogs" and by those who are already owners, who will have a period of two years from September 29th, 2023 to complete it. The training course will have an "indefinite validity" and its accreditation must be accompanied by civil liability insurance for damages to third parties "that includes in its coverage the persons responsible for the animal, for an amount of sufficient amount to cover the possible derived expenses, which will be established by regulation."
The course will consist of three parts: one of care and veterinary, another of animal welfare and another of legislation, more information will follow shortly.
Dangerous dogs in Spain with the Animal Welfare Law 2023
