The president of Port Hotels and HOSBEC Toni Mayor has received from the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, the special mention of the 'Tourism City of Benidorm 2022' Awards within the framework of the celebration of World Tourism Day.

In an emotional act held in the Assembly Hall of the City Council of the tourist capital of the Valencian Community, Toni Mayor was moved to receive the award "precisely in the city where I was born and in which I have developed a large part of my business facet and all my family life".

The President of Port Hotels has recognized that "it is difficult to find another city in the world that hurts us and engages us as much as Benidorm businessmen" recalling that it has been and is the engine of our lives and we have dedicated a lot of human and personal economic efforts in enhancing its image, in renewing its name and in always maintaining its power as a great Spanish tourist destination.

Mayor has revealed the secret behind Benidorm and its tourist industry which is "work, work and much more work. And when you work on what is your passion, work becomes fun, comfortable and with a large dose of satisfaction".

As is customary in all his speeches, there has also been room for claiming the necessary strategic infrastructures: "I would have liked this city to have an AVE connection, a rail link to the airport, a powerful shopping centre, a Cultural Center and the Palacio de Congresos operating at full capacity... " but it has also looked back on revolutionary milestones such as the General Plan, the free height or the modification that allowed the revolution of the hotel plant with 4 and 5 star establishments. "Benidorm has to continue to be the spearhead of the tourist avant-garde. This is how it has been since Pedro Zaragoza in this year that we celebrate the centenary of his birth" Mayor revered in his speech asking that "we do not let laziness and the ordinary invade us Continuing with that nonconformist, imaginative, innovative, groundbreaking spirit is what will guarantee us the future."

Toni Mayor will pilot the relief in the presidency of HOSBEC before the end of the year, "making way for the new generation of businessmen who have to lead the tourism sector in the Valencian Community". He has recalled how he began his mandate with the financial and real estate crisis of 2008 and that now we are facing the most important energy crisis since 1973 and the inflationary tsunami largely produced by Putin's madness."

The mayor of Benidorm Toni Pérez, has had some beautiful and emotional words for the president of Port Hotels in his speech. "Toni is a reference in a sector that day in and day out also has to get up to work with the incomprehension of many, that distributes wealth like few other activities, an industry that does not relocate, considering how important this is".

In addition, he stressed that "Toni has always been there to stand up for the sector and the city and history will place him in the category of visionary for knowing how to anticipate and see the future of tourism in the most critical and complicated moments".

Discover the beauty and wellness circuit of the Port Benidorm Spa

There is something magical about your inner peace and there are few places where you can find it. The Port Benidorm Spa offers a wellness circuit that leaves no one indifferent.

The main objective of this circuit is to lead you to a deep level of relaxation, in which you only pay attention to the sensations that each station transmits to you. Immerse yourself in these waters and reach your maximum inner and outer beauty.

In the first place, we will begin with the acclimatization of the body to prepare it for the temperature changes that we will experience next. The optimal duration for acclimatization should be approximately 5 minutes and consists of a first warm water shower before entering the Spa. In this way we will also eliminate traces of creams, perfumes or dirt from our body that can be harmful when in contact with chlorine and high temperatures.

The circuit begins in the Finnish sauna. It is a great blow of dry heat, between 70 and 100º of temperature, to activate cell regeneration, eliminate liquids, rejuvenate the skin... The duration should be about 10 minutes and always interspersed with warm or cold water showers.

Next, it is the turn of the heated pool. Ten full minutes of relaxation and decontracting body massage thanks to the pressurized water jets.

Fourth, we will go through the hammam, also known as the Turkish bath. This is a treatment similar to the sauna with the difference that the heat comes from water vapor and natural essences that evaporate to dilate the pores of the skin. Its main function is the elimination of toxins and substances accumulated by daily pollution. For 15 minutes we will alternate the Turkish bath with cold water showers for an optimal effect.

Finally, we will do an exercise of intense temperature contrasts with the help of the ice pool and the heated pool, about 3 minutes each successively.

To finish, we recommend you relax your body in the hammock area, to recover the usual temperature and let the treatment flow correctly.

Literary Gastro Dinners at La Taula Restaurant in Elche

A few years ago, the La Taula restaurant in Elche began a stage aimed at this restless public and a lover of literary novelties, regularly establishing one Friday of each month the Literary Gastro Dinners.

In these evenings, writers are invited to share a debate and dinner with those attending the meeting. A meeting full of flavors with a gastronomic proposal inspired by the work to be discussed: an authentic experience for the five senses.

It is a special meeting in which, in addition to getting closer to the content of his latest book, attendees have the opportunity to get to know the authors more closely; the atmosphere in which the evening takes place is conducive to listening to endless anecdotes that bring us closer to both the novelist and his characters.

The night begins with a welcome co*cktail in which you have the first opportunity to meet the writer and this is followed by a dinner, whose menu is dedicated in a particular way to the details of the work with dishes that are inspired by the content of the book and evoke its characters. A special dinner and a good pairing are the ideal ingredient to share opinions and current literary issues, where you can also end up talking about other works by the author or his prose.

But these encounters go further. It is the author himself who wants his readers to know them better. Attendees listen with interest to personal details that never appear on the cover of the book in their hands, some even dare to ask them questions. The most eager to know are prepared with a bookmark to understand the reason for a special chapter.

To date, La Taula restaurant has had the opportunity to develop these dinners with Marta Robles, Dolores Redondo, Manuel Vilas, Nativel Preciado, Paloma Sanchez-Garnica, Santiago Posteguillo and Carmen Mola, among others.

The next appointment will be next Friday, June 10, when Jon Sistiaga will visit us, one of the most relevant investigative journalists in our country who makes his debut as a novelist with a shocking story in his book El Purgatorio.

These literary gatherings that spice up the gastronomy of Elche are an authentic experience that no book lover should miss.
