May is when the crowd changes. The winterers Benidorm runs for from November to March leave, the summer ones have not arrived, and load rises from 3 to 4 out of 5. For anyone weighing up living here, May shows what neither winter nor August does: the town works the same whoever is in it. Winter liveability 4 out of 5, living without a car 4 out of 5, and a rail link to Alicante — the tram line runs along the shore. The square metre is €3,213 on the ministry's appraisal — above Alicante's €2,272 on the same basis.
