Is there anyone who doesn't go to Benidorm?

[InvictaMoto]

Other than me and Mrs Moto?

 

[Jim]

I go to Benidorm every night at 9pm.
Seen all the episodes at least twice.

Would I go to the real Benidorm ...not a chance in hell.

You would never catch me on that Coronation Street either

 

[Northernraider]

I like to go to places at least twice before i decide if i like or not.
Place in point, Bali, been twice won't go again..........lot's of reasons not going into on here.

Me too , went to beni twice realised its nice









To zoom past on the motorway


2nd time in morroco .... won't be back

Apparently we’re on Coronation Street here at Arena Blanca Jim.

The real name of our Funster Filled road is Calle Margarita. I have renamed it Margaritaville, after the brilliant Jimmy Buffet song.

If you read the lyrics you’ll get why

At least one of us has tripped over a flip flop, broken a bone, strummed on guitar, nibbled on sponge cake, watched the sun bake, got a tattoo …. Etc etc

 

[Northernraider]

Horse was even more disappointed

I'm sure it never touched the sides .....have ye seen the wanger on a horse...

Benidorm is the worst place to visit. Please don't come and join us it's already too busy with brits. It gets too warm. The food and drinks are far too cheap. The people are really too friendly .it's not what the majority of funsters want. Tapas at 8 euros, with a bottle of cheap rosado cava and a choice of 6 plates. Absolute rip off.
A beach front you could die for that's cleaned up daily .No litter and no graffitti the local council spends too much. And don't get me going on about cycle lanes they are everywhere a flaming nuisance.
Plus the extortionate cost of the local buses that run every 15 mins how dare they charge less than 1 euro for a ride out to Albir, an extortionate charge for a modern bus. 2 weekly markets that sell almost anything you need from local fresh fruit and veg to handbags and shoes for the ladies. Prices are far too low so there must be something wrong.
And parking. They don't charge you and there lots of car parks close to the centre. Really inconvenient..
Benidorm? Just stay away and leave it for the folks that enjoy it.

You've described all the reasons we do stay away lol . You forgot full English breakfasts and bars full of drunk brits making an arse of themselves

 

[Northernraider]

No, we found a public parking lot just up the hill a little (10 minute walk down to the coast) where you can park up for the night. No services though.

If you can sleep through all the ambulance sirens

Really Beni is for people that want some fun and social events not miserable lonely soles. Just don't come of you don't like Beni but don't knock it for those that do.

The key part of my statement was that some of the comments were snobbery and classist. And some are.

Maybe a chill pill required - no elitism I can see just a prejudice response by some maybe that disagree.

There are more Dutch and Germans than there are Brits, especially at this time of year.


Possibly for the same reason the Dutch, Germans, and Belgians do the same for 180 x days.

Cheers,

Jock.

Just priced it up for February £80 a night to park

I'm sorry to hear this, you dont half have bad luck on your travels

Only recently,,, since i retired have I had a spate of issues ironicly , I have spent 40 years working all over the world in dangerous and adventurous places and never had any real problems , Dengue once in Thailand , The bends once diving for work off malaysia , some near misses in war zones in Africa and storms at sea , when I was young i was stabbed twice in Brighton and Hove ha ha and nearly beaten to death in Central london during a robbery so England might be the worst place ... At least in Latin America and Africa I was armed and could shoot back , not a scratch in those places

 

[JJ]

Just don't come if you don't like Beni but don't knock it for those that do.

I won't and I don't...

My Daughter then aged 22 enjoyed Benidorm for the spas, beaches and some restaurants but she was not impressed by the nightlife at all ,,, i found a few amusing bars and bands , when I was able to get out of the toilet ha ha

 

[Richard n Ann]

Some people are drunk in the bars but they're only having a laugh, we've all been there.

Probably the Easter period which is popular with the Spanish. Most sites put up prices for the fiesta periods and more so for short stopovers.

It's St Patrick's day week, but we are back home for that. Did St Patricks day last year, totally nuts.

I’d rather go to Baghdad

 

[G-RMPS]

Sounds interesting!

 

[Viennese]

I went with a boyfriend in 1971 - it was April i think and the season hadn't started, the place was deserted Not impressed and never went back. Wouldn't fancy it now after seeing what all those Funsters get up to there Also having seen it from the van as we drove down to Andalusia 2 years ago, I wouldn't want to visit!!

 

[meanders]

Sounds interesting!

Baghdad or Benidorm?

 

[Saucer]

I collected my 20 something kids from a night out there when we were staying in a villa in the hills. It was 1am and like driving in Grand Theft Auto with big neon lights, police, taxis and random people stumbling into my path on the street. I can't say it endeared me to it.

Isn’t part of the fun of travelling is enjoying different places and experiences ?

The Benidorm wider area is beautiful
