Who does not think about the skyscrapers in Benidorm when the city is mentioned? Many images come to our minds: the deep blue sea, the Benidorm beaches of fine sand, the Island in the skyline, amusement parks and many other things, but above all those imposing buildings that touch the sky.
The history of BeniYork or the little Manhattan of the Mediterranean, as we now know the city, begins in the mid-1950s. During the first years of urban development, buildings were simple low-rise constructions. The real revolution in large-scale building and block construction began in the early 1970s. Since then, many architects have competed both for large-scale buildings and for their aesthetics, creating designs of all kinds.
It defines skyscrapers relatively tall inhabited buildings. We say relatively, since the height required to be considered as such has not been specified, but skyscrapers are usually considered to be those between 80 and 150 meters high.
