    Another great video thanks for keeping us posted. It is really sad to see the Brit area like that, I do love that area but I also love the old town, like you say its a huge resort so plenty diversity. I also like heading further afield too such as Calpe on the little train. Stay safe and keep us posted your videos are so enjoyable

    What a great video. I don't know Benidorm . (Visited as a child but that was centuries ago!). Despite the problems you are so upbeat and actually show the area that you are in instead of just talking to the camera. Neither do you continually diss the Brits that holiday there (unlike 1 channel that speaks about Spain). What a refreshing change. Hope your channel gets more subscribers you have gained another today.

      So all tourist not coming to UK are also not spending a pound in UK but in their own country what is the different. Income 38 Billions 1,2 million jobs. When all 22 millions tourist from UK will stay at home 8 millions will go on holiday in UK 14 millions will stay at home and spent their money in other way or save it. Stupid decision 14 days quarantine but UK governments are good at making stupid deductions.

      IRON HORSE Who cares? The kind of people who go abroad only to drink in "British pubs" are the kind of people who shouldn't be allowed a passport in the first place. I long for a return to the days when the poor couldn't afford to travel, and going abroad was a chance to experience different cultures, foods and experiences. Now, you can't go anywhere without bumping into a plane load of fat women from Liverpool having a hen weekend.

    I was on holiday in Benidorm from the 25/6 for 5 nights. The wearing of facemasks was not a problem for me but several bars i would normally drink in were not open...I did on a few occasions go to the winners bar for a drink and you were there behind the bar serving one evening, and its a nice place that you have..Unfortunately the day i arrived was the same day the UK government ordered a quarantine on return , so until the 13/8, i am now sat at home having taken 2 more weeks holiday from work....If i had been given prior notice of the 2 weeks quarantine on return to the UK, i would not have gone to be honest. I believe the UK government are just trying to contain the virus until a vaccine is developed, if so then i think that is the summer over....Hope not....Anyway i'll see you next time all being well.

      Paula Martin No, if that were the case they would have stopped travel anywhere. Currently it's only a handful of countries. A second wave would cost the nation hundreds of billions, a few tourist pounds spent in the U.K. instead of Spain is a drop in the ocean.

    Benidorm looks perfect to me, all my favourite bits open and thriving, and the bits I tend to avoid deserted. Sadly the Brit strip needs to be open and thriving to support the rest economically.
    I wonder if this is hinting at the future with Brexit Britain.
    I am on holiday now and feel a need to stop off in Beni on my way home to show a bit of support.

      @Dr Rinderhaus With gold and silver I question their practicality. Can't go in to a store and pay with gold for example. I think buying practical assets is the way to go. This is a world wide push by governments. Not many places to escape!

    Hi Lucy! Thank you so much for your updates. I especially love your reports on rollerscates ..lol....my mum lives in Ciudad Quesada and I always come out in September and come down to Benidorm for Pride. Any updates on gay bars and the pink pound in the old town. I heard pride is cancelled but will there be a socially distanced celebration. You may not know but any advice would be cool. Keep up the good work. Really cheers up my day! 👍👍👍

    • @x6621
      @x6621 4 года назад +2

      Hi there, I was supposed to go to Benidorm around your times. I have heard from my best friend (who is gay and was going to go along with me and a group of friends) that Benidorm pride has been cancelled altogether, not even a socially distanced celebration is going on. As for gay bars, a couple of bars are open, examples being Kafee Klee, Company Bar and Sensations. Most gay bars in the old town are closed, and therefore the pink pound does not have as much choice.

      Best way of going to Spain WITHOUT QUARANTINE is flying British Airways to Gibraltar (please be aware of the price). I would RECOMMEND you holiday in Gibraltar after landing (a hell of a lot more stuff is open in Gibraltar than in mainland Spain), but if you do want to go to Spain, afterwards you can travel to Benidorm by getting a hire car (pretty cheap to rent). It is a long journey but at this time this is the ONLY way you can get to Spain without quarantine.

    It’s amazing the number of British immigrants that get down into the Benidorm area. The weather obviates the design of the typical British bar\pub and seems everywhere to lead to the more gaudy type of signage we see here but plenty of outside space. The Brexit vote by the patriots though will knacker the longer term trade in the ‘British Area’ which may well be taken over by legal immigration by the Germans and other northern European countries in the Schengen area. It could be interesting how this develops.
