Benidorm Honours Departed on All Saints' Day, Remembering Storm Victims
Benidorm prepares for All Saints' Day, a deeply rooted Spanish tradition honouring the departed, with thousands expected to visit the city's cemeteries on November 1. The Town Hall has made special arrangements to facilitate access and commemorate those lost in recent storms.
The Sant Jaume municipal cemetery will host a mass at midday, led by the parish priest of the Church of San Francisco de Asís and attended by Benidorm's mayor, Toni Pérez. This mass, along with another later in the afternoon at the Maré de Déu del Sofratge cemetery, will pay a special tribute to victims of the 2024 DANA storms.
To ease access, the road through the industrial estate leading to the Sant Jaume cemetery remains open throughout the week. Both cemeteries will extend their hours, opening from 8am to 8pm on All Saints' Day. Meanwhile, Terra Natura Benidorm offers Halloween-themed events, including a live magic show, interactive workshops, and a theatrical performance inspired by Mexico's Día de los Muertos.
Benidorm honours its deceased residents and remembers storm victims on All Saints' Day. With special masses, extended cemetery hours, and cultural events, the city ensures a respectful and engaging celebration of this deeply rooted tradition.
