I visited Benidorm in January, looking to get to the bottom of its reputation as cesspit of loutish and boozy ‘Brits Abroad’ antics. In reality, outside of the hectic tourist main season, although ‘cheap & cheerful’ I found Benidorm had a relaxing vibe. However, Lucy aka @benidormstuff3337 , told me that if I REALLY wanted to see BRITS GONE WILD I should return during ‘Stag & Hen Season’.
I returned.. I was not disappointed!

Before watching this video, I questioned if I had unfairly stereotyped Benidorm without even going there. Safe to say I haven’t.
Soak up some culture. Love it.
I was a Beni snob before I was dragged there, it's fantastic!
Agreed 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Same. Where I live it's a one off weekend with idiots on motorbikes for the Jerez moto GP. It's awful but compared to England in the sun I'll take it. Roll on Feria in six weeks where the local Spanish know how to drink. England in the sun.....no thanks
Am sure you have watched many videos on RUclips about benidorm and this isn't your first 🙈
I lived in the UK for 8 years, and it doesn't surprise me that people go crazy when they land in Spain, imagine that you work from morning to evening like an ant in a rainy country, where there are CCTV cameras on every corner, in Krakow, Poland, some restaurants posted "No Entry for Brits" signs, but not all of them :) I experienced injustice many times when I lived in the UK, but now that I'm back home I look at the Brits with more sympathy :) I guess hard times are coming for all of us, and after all, we are only human...Greetings from Gdańsk, Poland
Krakow is one of the most friendly cities I’ve ever visited - absolutely loved the place and suffered zero discrimination.
Visited the salt mine - absolutely stunning!!!!
The food in Krakow- immense and great value. Eating in a high end restaurant in Krakow was less expensive than eating in a TGI Fridays in Manchester, U.K.
Thank you x
Krakow is a beautiful City, I visited before the whole "Cheapo Eastern European Stag Do" trend caught on, so never saw any Brits not welcome signs (though I can appreciate why bar owners would say it).
Having also visited Poland for a friend's wedding, I can attest that the Polish lads do love a ruck after a bunch of Vodka though........ I was approached by a guy at the wedding because I was probably the biggest English guy there, and with no animosity at all I was challenged to fight. I politely refused though, although that didn't seem to be the done thing and it pissed off what had been a fairly friendly dude up to that point!
Is that some sort of a tradition or was he just a drunk idiot?
Great video, I learned plenty about Spanish culture.
Glad you enjoyed it 🇪🇸
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You will make me look stupid".... erm lads you did that for yourselves 🤣
How !
Great to see the brits abroad showing a fine example of us sophisticated british people and how we behave 😂
Absolute hell. Yup, not even if you paid me
13:40
"Are you ladies from Wales?"
"Scotland"
"sorry, are you whales from Scotland?"
20 stoners at least !🤣
Crocodillapigs the pair of them 😂😂😂
@@Frank-qs3pe not even after 20 pinters 😂😂
I'm still in the "you couldn't pay me to go there" crowd! What an absolute shit hole!
Everyone has a price 🤣
Go further up to Javea/Xabia it's fantastic and the place the Spanish go on holiday to.
Honestly the old town is a really nice place. Lots of Spanish people, gin bars, good tapas and cheap wine.
For the same money you can go to Seville or Madrid and have an actual nice time. I guess it's nice that places like Benidorm contain this clientele from spilling over into places actually worth visiting.
@@Cubeforc3 i always say the same about rough pubs that get shut down due to violence. This then ruins the good pubs when those idiots spill over into them.
Please keep the bad pubs open!
I didn't think it was possible, but Benidorm is actually considerably worse than I thought.
I've been to some shitholes around the Med (mainly due to serving in the Navy) but Benidorm looks like a proper poo pile. Blackpool in the sun sounds about right, but I've no desire to visit either place though......
Anyone with any decent, honest opinion knows how brilliant and unique benidorm is. 2 beautiful clean beaches, a fantastic old town with tapas streets. Then the new town with live music, 18 year olds having a good time with 50 year olds, beach bars, music. It's flat, great for pedestrians. A unique place ❤
It's a sh*thole.
I used to love going to Skegness in the 80s and 90s. Was the hotbed of Spanish culture, flights of Spanish tourists getting wasted on the beach the locals loved it! Tapas restaurants everywhere. Sangria and red wine flowing. Siestas in the afternoon.
Sorry I think I must have dreamt that 🤷🏻♂️
Benidorm is a nightmare.
You wouldn't like Skegness now.
The Spanish would only be coming over en masse to learn English. The French have already arrived in Cardiff and Plymouth. Italians head for Oxford and Abingdon. So different learning from a native speaker than from someone of the same nationality.
….and I thought the TV series BENIDORM was an exaggeration😮
Johnny was actually in that.On a few episodes.
Why would anybody? It doesn't matter where you are in the world. Want dress as Jimmy Saville After what has come out about the guy?🤔🇬🇧.
Someone that has a smaller brain cell than one of my chickens 😂
I’m in my twenties and Honestly the old town is a really nice place. Lots of Spanish people, gin bars, good tapas and cheap wine. It’s not full of old people. We usually do one cheesy night on the strip and then spend the rest in the nicer areas.
I literally cannot imagine anywhere worse. And I spent fifteen years in a North Korean prison camp.
Did you get your legover.???
@@johnathandaviddunster38 over the fence, yes.
You haven't sold this place to me. I would go back to Spain but this is the last place I would think to go. Maybe for one night, just to check it out
fucking hell, don't think i saw a single woman who a healthy weight. i understand why other countries view us the way they do now
Hey nothing wrong with bouncy castles.
@@pooooornopigeondont take them out in a strong wind
Any port in a storm 😂
Have you been to USA ?
Oh no I couldn’t do Benidorm now Wendall! I’m nearly 40 but it just isn’t my thing anymore. I’ve done Ibiza and all that many times years gone by but very much the quiet life now. That made me feel a bit anxious. Top video as always ….Smithy
Im 44 i go 2/3 times a year, stay in the old town, tapas and a walk around the narrow streets at night. walk along the beach, cafe on the beach, choose out of the 2 lovely beaches. Ill take a walk up to a cafe up on the hill with sea views for an ice coffee.......
I'm 56 and live here. Love going to watch amazing bands or go on the rooftop bars. Even my 86 year old parents love it. 🥳
I'm 42,yep done all the Ibiza/magaluf/ party,club scene stuff many times in past and and some of best times in my life.Yep not for me anymore though, definitely the quiet life now.And to be honest,even back then benidorm didn't appeal to me.
Here at the moment , wish i had missed stag and hen this week , really enjoyed last October really different and more relaxing 😊
Hey I've been benidorm few times I love it good restruants great nightlife we really enjoy the tribute music shows last time I went was 2016 so love to go again
I have gone there often with my family and i have really good childhood memories from benidorm. The hardcore partying is mostly at the end of levante beach at a certain spot. i find Beni to be a good mix of party and relaxation.
Thank you, Wendell love your videos. I’m from Northern California. Disabled retired garbage man never made it to England to the UK. My wife is from Scotland. Love it over there. I can tell I would love it anyways Wendell thank you for your hard work. We love you here in Northern California .💙💯🇺🇸🙏🏴
Your in a great spot over in California mate
It would be my worst nightmare for a holiday 🇬🇧
It’s not all bad
People on Benefits favourite destination .Sticks in the day dancing at night
Another great video, Wendall. Is it mainly the weekends that are affected by the Stag and Hen groups.....your comment about the plane journey is putting me off so considering flying midweek now 😂
Fly early morning, I got a 5pm flight 💀 and yeah I think it’s mainly long weekends
@@WendallExplores Lovely stuff. Thank you for your reply. I always look for the earliest possible flight anyway as it's a waste of a day if arriving too late.
These people make Aussies in Bali look like saints
Next stop Bali… 🇦🇺
Bali, Benidorm and Bogans. Maybe I’ll avoid anything that starts with a B.
What do Aussies do in Bali
@@LeahDyson-kq4bd pretty much what you see in this video
I can vouch for that as a Brit who has been to Benidorm and Bali, now an Australian citizen living in Cambodia 🇰🇭 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
Hey Wendall looking frowards to this❤❤❤Lord have mercy on Wendall😇
No mercy was shown
04:20 That really is a beautiful Irish accent. Love it
🇮🇪
You bottled it wendall 😊 you left before it got busy you should be on the strip at 2am!!!!
Yes the day time is a pussycat, compared to 10pm onwards, of course it gets a bit rowdy, but i have been going there since 1982, and have not encountered any kind of bad behaviour by any British or other nationals.
Love the string of Welsh flags in the shop behind you when you were interviewing the pink elephant....
Not in a Million years
😂🎉🎉🎉@13-50 that guy looked like Kenneth from the salon 🤣
Love watching these vids, really interesting!
Glad you like them!
Yeah .... I think I'll give it a miss.
Thanks for that very inciteful video. 👍
My pleasure
Common as muck!!
I watched your video from early this year in Benidorm and i met up with the guys from Project 4 all, they help people around the Benidorm and north Costa Blanca. We had a great meeting and i'm hoping to meet up again soon with another special gift. I live about an hour from Benidorm and it really is a crazy place, however pick the hotel and area you stay in and its beautiful. Personally, when we go away for a weekend break we jump on a flight to Ibiza "very cheap flights" and party over there. Yes its a bit more expensive but less crazy. Anyone going to Benidorm over the next few months please try and help the people there that need your help and throw a few euro's into a collection box or maybe if you see someone on the street that looks like they need some help, give them a few euro's. To you it's just another beer or kebab but to them it can be a life saver. You would be very surprised how many people sleep rough there, I live in Spain and I was shocked. Or go to FB and follow Project 4 all and send them a few quid, what those guys do is incredible.
Hi Wendell, random, but what did you do for work before the RUclips days? Love the vids, currently in Poland and back to the UK this weekend. God bless. 🕊️
Ran pubs and restaurants mate
The thing is, this is a small part of Benidorm. I was in the "you can't pay me" crowd until I went last year. We stayed in a small town about an hour away and we did a day trip to Benidorm to have a look around - the majority of the seafront was family friendly and pretty quiet. The beach is really nice.
If you're not up for the hen and stag mayhem, it's easy to avoid. That's not my scene at all and we just didn't go to that area.
Benidorm exceeded my expectations, I was prepared for it to be a dump based on the reputation, but it's a decent place.
Blackpool in the sun
Another interesting video Wendall. Benidorm is not my idea of fun, I'd rather visit Granada, Seville or Barcelona and soak up the history of the "real" Spain. Not trying to be snobbish I just think I would get bored in Benidorm.
Same and i have no interest in getting drunk Barcelona and Madrid look much better then benidorm
@@Leojw10 if you ever go to Madrid and Barcelona you must go visit the Gaudi exhibition. His artwork is genius. Much better than seeing it on your old friends wall at university.
I feel ashamed to why some of us English have the mind set!😮
13:50 - Wasn’t that the guy from blow and go 😂
imagine the outrage in the UK if foreigners came and took over a town like the brits do in Benidorm. Reform UK would be going mental.
Look at Birmingham or Leeds 😂
@@incorrect1844 Yes, loads of our towns have been permanently taken over.
Yeah I know. Amsterdam city council started a whole social media campaign specifically targeted at Brits to persuade them to please stay away... Drinking and partying is fine, but these type of trips seem to end up in with people in hospital or the police station more often then not. Its just not worth it cleaning up after these people.
Absolutely! Nigel, Jacob and Boris would be all over the place on GBeeBees and right-wing 'newspaper' summoning the plebs to take back control 🕹️🎮
Interesting thought! 🤔
@@incorrect1844Absolutely! Nigel, Jacob and Boris would be all over the place on GBeeBees and the right-wing 'press' summoning the plebs to 'take back control '. 🎮🕹️
Interesting parallel thought 🤔 !
nice vid Wendall, but was hoping to see some nite time carnage
Exactly. Leaving that out seems a weird choice given that's what we're here for!
Weatherspoons on sea. Luckily Benidorm sucks up all the wrong'ens so the rest of Spain is lovely 😂
Myself included
you can't beat the Old Town still fun and not so much in-your-face noise
I think a few thousand brains cells between everyone that appeared on this episode, minus Wendall of course
"You're either Jimmy Saville or Bruno" Savage! 🤣😂
I lived and worked in a hostal in Granada Andalusia Spain you should see the Spanish stag and hen dos. Desperido de soltero I think it s spelled Ai nt excusing the Brits but yes give yourself a look at the Spanish partying too .I have been to Benidorm Old town nice and surrounding area with the mountains.Depends what you want from life
People often comment on Benidorm, likely not helped by a certain tv show lol, but there are so many places just like Benidorm that people use for cheap holidays. You take the rough with the smooth. Benidorm has often been a good place for cheap, family affordable holidays long before the new town became as popular as it is now, go at certain times of the year and as you stated, it’s much quieter, more pleasant, I know they have a theme or water park too. I’d happily go, I’d likely stay in the old part and venture to the new town for a few evenings out for fun, but my drinking days are over 🤣 so I’d just go to people watch, for the entertainment and maybe a nice drink on the beach!
It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but you can’t please everyone!
I lost it at Jimmy Savile...🤣 Thanks Wendall.
I always read up on a new area if Brits are pressent in the area to know if its a no go lmao.
We are agents and victims of our culture in decline.
Yes. One need only look into the depravity taking place in Rome before the fall.
A couple of year ago I went on a 53 lad stag do end of April. It was insane...all them stag and hen parties cancelled because of covid all came at once.. Stayed at the Marina hotel. Paid a big room deposit. Food was horrible. Couldn't wear any night time stuff at the hotel restaurant as your clothes would stink of the grill. Place was wild. First night we wore Hawaiian shirts then we bumped into another 20 strong lads stag do all wearing Hawaiian shirts as well...the place was full of lads in Hawaiian shirts.
12:11 Donald, that swinger guy from Benidorm on ITV in the background
Benidorm: a town unspoiled by healthy livers
Wow, that looks lively 🎉 I live in La Linea near Gibraltar. You should come and visit Gibraltar, such a unique place and with beautiful landscapes in ‘Campo de Gibraltar’ in Spain.
I would find Gibraltar really interesting
@@WendallExplores My BF can show you around on his 1800cc motorbike. Through the rock of Gibraltar, Europa Point, great stuff. @SteveM109r
i go benny 4 times a year. i was in the royal navy for 23 years, and ive basically seen the world. the great thing about benny is the people, honestly its everyone wanting a good time. yes theres loads of alcohol. but thats what to expect. if you want quieter, go old town, amazing food, quieter bars and still a great day and night out. if you dont like alcohol and socialising, then dont go, simple.
Absolutely spot on! I travel a lot. I go here 2/3 times a year. Benidorm is one of my favourite place for those reasons. I stay in the old town.
It has absolutely everything in one place. I love to see 20 year olds having a good time with 60 year olds , everyone is just happy.
Wonder what main stream Spanish culture thinks of Benny....
@@MichaelTynan-kr6mt IM SURE THE BARS AND HOTELS LOVE US. WITHOUT THE BRITS, THEY WOULD CLOSE DOWN.
@@rattler9uk I wonder....
I suppose it's a fine place if all you do is drink all day and talk shite.
They could have saved their money and just stayed at home in their local to do that?
Yeah looks great
Last week in July and all of August is when it's mad... It's just the start of the season...
More families and couples that time I’m told
Just got back.. been before..but this time got caught up in this stag/hen rubbish.. won't go back at this time of year again..if ever..🙄
X
My idea of hell,,no you certainly could ot pay .e to go there
Everyone has a price
Not Me
I love the place, it's not at all like this every where. Only the new town and levante beach. The old town , Poiente beach and Finestrat are totally different.
Agree
@WendallExplores How are the same streets of Benidorm looking like between 10.00pm to 3.00am once most of the people you met got the chance to drink alcohol and "meet Charlie" for nearly half a day? Do you see much of antisocial behaviours? How much folks end up vomiting or urinating in the street? How many fights? Are the police and the paramedics much solicited? How many folks end up so intoxicated that they are sleeping rough because they can't figure out where their hotel is anymore?
Thank you for videos, I really appreciate their contents! 👍
All the best, 💛
I go benners every year beach is clean food is decent and beer is cheap cant go wrong no fighting either tbf
1. Crocheting an knitting was it euphemism?😂 2. Why u wearing a fleece on the beach you psycho?!😂 brill video ❤
A thinly veiled euphemism
looks like pure hell lol
... 1:33 - "Where's Ya Cigar ? "
All looks pretty tame to me!!!
I prefer the beach, sun, and ocean with a fish and chip meal. I'll pass on the strip area in Benidorm but thank you for the tour and keep the videos coming.
Its not my cup of tea being around the raucous beer monsters. The property issues exist in any tourist areas even where I live in North Yorkshire. Very frustrating for young people to find properties. Rents are high. 🤫
Rent high most places now
Benidorm seriously.. Is a handy website about imfo on where to go, what to see in Benidorm if u ovr ❤
What a mess, talk about rough….
Hi. Are you here next Saturday? I'm having my birthday party on 4th at a beach bar. 🥳🤩
Thank you Sharon, sorry I’ve left already 😔
Ahhh that's a shame. I'll watch this later. Hope you had fun x
Benidorm, Ayanapa, Costa del Sol, Las Vegas, Dubai.
I’ve ticked off every location on this list 🙌
I’ve been many times it all depends on how u like a holiday to be but it’s banging and has everything for everyone old and new town but the strip can definitely get wild all I can say is don’t go on it if you don’t like it!
I'm glad they go abroad shame they don't move there 😂
I visited Benidorm back in the mid 90's
Never again I wad glad I could speak another language and not let on I was British
I adore other regions of Spain which offer a more authentic Spanish culture
It's no wonder the majors of these towns & cities have implemented strict rules on behaviour & dress code. They are actively discouraging these type of tourists.
Looks a fun place in truth, if I was a lot younger I would go
Nothing compared to 18s to 30s in the 90s 😂😂
I might try Ibiza 🙂
Went there years ago was very expensive and overrated
Went last year had to remortgage after
Wondered where all the Jeremy Kyle guests ended up to
I will stay at home and watch the classic Benidorm TV comedy from the safety of my armchair😆👍
Between Benidorm and Thailand are there any English left in England ?
More walk about in Benidorm please!
Another different video soon
@@WendallExplores At night.
Awesome x
Thank you 🙏
I love the Brits. Nation of madlads. As a Yank I'd typically go to Cancun or Punta Cana for a week of drunken debauchery, but I'd love to check out other nations sun-drenched hotspots (e.g. Brits in Benidorm, Germans in Mallorca, etc). Looks next level. Cheers 🍻
I think they try to mix the nationalities up more so if say Germany goes into recession and fewer Germans go there or they do but spend less money they can rely on people from other countries.
Totally dreadful. I'd avoid that like the plague. I speak Spanish to a degree and would stay well clear of the Brits in Benidorm 😄
That's during the day, but what is it like at night?
Every so often, a British Stag or Hen party wander here to Monaco from Nice, for a night out here, Inevitably, they are bounced out of Monaco because of bad behaviour.
The night life in Monaco gets very, very busy at the port, and it's very international, but it's always Brits that are the problem.
Unfortunately, they are also easy to spot.
I should add that it's not all Brits, there are many residents here that are British, but there is a 'type'.
Helmet Hell~
Sodam and gomarah is right
I wouldn’t like that place and im not a snob 👍
I'm going to Benidorm in a few weeks for a stag, have to say, even after having watched your videos I'm not looking forward to it, far too loud and yobbish for the likes of me. Get me a pizza and a movie for my stag do.
You’re in for a rough ride 💀
@@WendallExplores Lol thanks!
You'll be fine after a couple of beers mate.
2:18 You should watch around twice in case 😅😅
Try Pattaya!! Benidorm is like a monastery compared.
Do you get to pick the adverts that play ? Jus saw an advert for "sadik khant get anything right" on your channel.
No lol
Brit’s abroad = chaos! Lol
