    its because of the cost of holidays over the school holiday. They have priced themselves out of the market

      It seems to be relentless. August is generally a quieter month for the Brits anyway while the Spanish enjoy their seaside holidays at that time. But the UK press certainly don’t give up. We’re back in September for a mini break in the old town.

    Friends of mine were in benidorm in june. One come back with a broken jaw off one of the russian bouncers. The bouncer punched him as he thought he had caused trouble the previous evening. Totally unprovoked and it wasn't him. Police called & done nothing. To top it off,hes 63yr old & going through cancer.That benidorm trip was his treat before starting chemotherapy.

      That is shocking 😮 poor man . I hope he recovers from such a horrible ordeal . Can he pursue a prosecution through the British embassy? This needs calling out as it is GBH ! If Spain wishes to encourage tourists this is not the way to go about it .

    This end of Benidorm is quiet certain times of the day because most Brits are still in bed, after getting hammered the previous night. Poniente beach is always much busier, more spanish there. Try going to Villajoyosa or La Cala Finestrat

      Wednesdays are generally a change over day apparently and August can be quieter than other months for Brits. It was very busy with Spanish holiday makers and it will start to get back to normal mayhem now.

    We went last week in July first week in August a couple of years ago it was really quiet, I had been there in June and it was jumping.
    I spoke to my old school mate, he is a singer over there and he told me it's not peak time in Benidorm unlike other places around Spain infact he said alot of the entertainers go away on holiday including him.
    I was there this June and again it was really busy, we are going again at the beginning of October and I'm expecting it to be busy again

Yes theres barz with stuff going on during the day but, most people go elsewhere during daytime. So.e of the pu s n lubs o British square dont close u til 7 & 8 o'clock in the morning.

  • @soul123464
    @soul123464 3 месяца назад

    Its nothing to do with it being to hot although it can be very hot ,its nothing to do with tourist tax or anto tourist stuff , its the hotel prices they have priced themselves out of the market , I often go to Benidorm but noticed this year that a two week holiday all inclusive in a certain hotel for four is almost double in august compared to September . Turkey has done this but they did it quicker and earlier , people are not fools and will find another destination , watch Turkey next year it will be on its arse even more than usual , Spain will also go that way unless they buck thier ideas up , consider the Spanish were farmers and friut growers a few years ago , kill tourisum and they will soon be back there.

      I Was a bit harsh there Kevin, I love Spain. As a lorry driver before I retired, I drove to Spain regularly.
      I remember Benidorm when it was much smaller and it was a fantastic place.
      Too big now, and too crowded for me.
      Thank you for your reply.
      Respect and kind regards.
