Many Brits like to go for a holiday in Benidorm, a popular tourist destination in Spain, and one man who moved to the Spanish city from the UK has spoken about the cost of an English breakfast
Benidorm is a seaside resort on the Costa Blanca in Spain and is a very popular tourist destination for its vibrant nightlife and sandy beaches with crystal clear waters. The city is loved by Brits for its sunny climate and affordability and short flight times of around two hours and 30 minutes.
One British man has shared the things that surprised him the most when moving to Benidorm, including spending less money in a week than he would in his hometown of Brighton. Harry Poulton regularly gives travel tips and advice about the Spanish holiday hotspot on TikTok to his 48,000 followers.
In a new clip, which has garnered 7,351 views, the 24-year-old explained that the party city often leaves Brits baffled by just how cheap the food and drink is.
Harry said: “You can get an English breakfast here in Benidorm for as cheap as £2.50.
“You can even get a pint for literally 87p, which is around €1. “How crazy is that?
“To be honest, it’s cheaper to live here in Benidorm for a week than it would be back at home. Isn’t that just mental?”
The second thing that shocked Harry when relocating to Benidorm was the “next-level madness”.
He added: “You’ve got people dressing up all-year round like it’s Halloween.
“You’ve got crazy foam parties, […] crazy bingo raves – it’s all popping off in Benidorm.
“You never know what to expect. Next thing, you’ll turn around the corner and there’ll be someone dressed up like a bloody clown.
“Or even worse, an old granny – but they’re only 20. Crazy, right?”
Last but not least, Harry highlighted the “unreal” characters. He remarked: “You’re going to meet some absolutely incredible characters here in Benidorm.
“One minute, you’ll be speaking to someone who’s been coming out to Benidorm every year, 15 times a year, for the last 30 years.
“And you’ll then meet the next person who’s got ‘Benidorm’ tattooed all over their legs. It’s absolutely unreal.
“Some of the people you meet here in Benidorm are the best people you’ll ever meet. Nice, kind, happy and fun.
“Everyone that comes to Benidorm always has a good time.”
Several TikTok users have commented on Harry’s post, including one who said: “I absolutely love Benidorm. The energy in Benidorm is something different.
“You just want to party all the time and the prices are perfect, can’t wait to come in August.”
Another shared: “I got a flight to come on 5th August £36 one way.”
The most comes after Harry also recently warned tourists not to build sandcastles while at the beach, as it could lead to a €100 (£87) fine.
