Benidorm Elvis Festival
Every April, Elvis tribute artists and fans from across Britain and Europe gather in Benidorm for a long weekend of shows, contests and jumpsuits. The festival base is the Hotel Meliá Benidorm, with a finale show at Benidorm Palace.
It is a friendly, well-organised event with a loyal following — many fans return year after year, and the whole town seems to have a quiff for the weekend.
