Fancy that! HEAVY rain did not dampen the Brit‐inspired Fancy Dress Party that traditional‐ ly follows Benidorm’s fies‐ tas. Calle Gerona and Calle Mallorca were the epicen‐ tre of the partying for 15,000 people ‐ according to official estimates ‐ who filled streets and bars in the so‐called British Zone as far as the Rincon de Loix. The lingering pandemic altered the fun to some ex‐ tent, as there was no street parade and although very few masks were seen on the streets, these were obligatory once the rev‐ ellers stepped inside any bar or other establishment. Meanwhile, the doors were open at the Foreign Tourist Service (SATE) in the Rincon, where those who had not yet been vaccinat‐ ed could have a change of heart and receive their first jab.

Safer walking THANKS to a local family, a blackspot can disappear at the Joan Fuster‐Diana intersection in Denia. The pavement narrows to nothing where the road curves into Cami Sant Joan, at a point where the town hall has long wanted to improve pedestrian safety. This is now possible thanks to a local resident who has ceded enough of his land to widen the pavement. “Some months back, a car ran into a woman and her baby in a pushchair,” said the landowner’s son‐ in‐law. There were no serious consequences, he added, although there could have been, prompting the family’s decision to cede the land.
