And cross your fingers your accommodation has some form of heating. Last nyear it was colder in my house than it was outside. Inverter air con only took the edge off . never again. House gets locked up in November back early March

Don't be put off. If you're in Benidorm and it's chilly in your accommodation its more reason to spend more  time in the bars

Yes very good plan. We are staying in my parents apartment so I'm hoping their heating works  looking forward to seeing how you guys in Benidorm celebrate. We love Benidorm especially the old town. 😊

Here's hoping it's better than the snow storms and minus temperatures forecast here in Scotland.

You need layers.  Nice if you find a sun trap in the day.  Very cold at night.  Well as soon as the sun goes down.

Surprised at your air con not providing, my one unit last year certainly heated up my apartment, came back from the pub, slammed it on for one hour (very toasty)....up for another 30 mins then bed.  Worked a treat.

During the day last January I was comfortable in t shirt and jeans, but co e 4pm ish, definitely the need for a thick cardigan. ( I am not resident just holiday home...so last January was a lovely warm change by comparison)
