Benidorm has celebrated the Day of the Constitution with an institutional act held at Plaza de España in which the City's Corporate Medal has been awarded to one of the "fathers" of the Constitution approved in 1978, José Pedro Pérez-Llorca, native of Benidorm. The prestigious jurist could not go to Benidorm for being precisely attending the institutional events held in Madrid to commemorate the thirty-ninth anniversary of the Carta Magna, but sent some emotional words of thanks that the journalist Juan Díaz read in his name,
Pérez-Llorca lamented "very profoundly that he can not physically be present in Benidorm today" due to commemorative commitments of the Constitution and acquired previously in Madrid and Cádiz, "and recalled anecdotes and experiences of his family Benidoro transmitted by his father, the ophthalmologist José Pérez-Llorca. The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, expressed in turn the gratitude of the municipal corporation and the entire town of Benidorm, "for having contributed their talent to the constitutional framework that consolidated our democracy, our coexistence and the progress of our country."
