My wife and I have been to Benidorm several times and really enjoyed it. By the way, this video is brilliant and I appreciate all the effort you have put in making it, well done sir
I actually live in Benidorm, as a Norwegian idiot. Things been kinda rough during the pandemic, but I wouldn't trade anything for all the weirdos and nice people I get to interact with. They are all lovely in their own ways. It is fun to live in Benidorm. It is so accepting and tolerant. Love it.
I am disabled and getting around on holiday. Benidorm is the best for getting around outside of the hotel. Mobility scooter is a godsend to me. Wish you could give us more information on your videos on disabled access to the places you visit. Thanhs really enjoy going with you from the comfort of my sofa.
My parents used to holiday here several times a year for a month or so each time until they were 90. I've never been so your video shows me what they saw and did.
Last time I was in Benidorm was in the early 60’s when I went camping. No tall buildings - miles of beach and the old town. I cant believe how much it has changed! On the other hand, when I visited it was a long time ago when I was 18 years old. LOVE the hotel you chose, and that room with views, and the hot tub and even more views, were amazing! Viva Espana!
@@deezrfc I am sure they would have preserved the old town, but I remember beaches that stretched for miles, and there were no high rise buildings cheek by jowl along that the sea side.
The water in the beach smells! We were there last August this year. Nope Benidprm has too many skyscrapers and it is very crowded.. Don't like it. Better in Alte, Albir, Calpe.
So true ! Modern tourism ruins EVERYTHING ! I will just be happy if the "ruins of the skyscrapers" will be finally blasted. . . (in 25 years from now ?)
I used to work in Benidorm as a DJ back 76 and 81 and your video was very nostalgic. 1976 was a heat wave in the UK but rained forever on the Costa Blanka with many people seeking early flights home. I was amazed to see the old water ski still there. Back in the winter of 1975 it was damaged and all the underwater weights had been dislodged and as I had diving experience I was employed to relocate and replace them, good fun for a 26 year old. Pleased to see the Western is still going, great place for the workers to meet up then off to Tramps to finish the evening.
It is a dream of mine to one day move to Spain (Benidorm). Finally gone from Belgium, fingers crossed that it will work one day. I was there once for 2 weeks about 17 years ago, had a very nice time in Benidorm.
Im on a Walk with me Tim Tour sinnce a month and i can't get enough of your amazing videos. Very informative, love the commentary, quality and the places u visit are just Awesome. Keep up the great work Tim& Thank you
Last time I went to Benidorm was 1977 (first honeymoon). Wow, what a transformation, so glad you didn’t give ‘sticky Vicky’ a plug! Thanks for highlighting the ‘up-market’ side of the old town which looks great; we will definitely be giving it a look soon! 👍👍👍
Love Benidorm. When I was a kid my parents had a villa in Moraira and I think it’s about 30-35 mins drive to Benidorm. Very fond memories of aqualandia. Calpi is nice too.
We go to Benidorm twice a year. After going in 1988 I promised myself I would never go back because it would never be as good if i went again. My mate persueded me to finally go again in 2018, 30 years to the day after our 1st visit. Within an hour I was hooked and now cant get enough of the place. Anyone who has never been is really missing out. there is something for everyone, as long as you go with an open mind you will have a great time. We have made some great friends over there now and we are always welcomed when we get there. One of the waitresses drove us up to the cross and even offered us a lift to the airport when we were struggling to get a transfer. I have a long 11 weeks to wait until we go again
Been to Benidorm a lot over the years, there really is something for every age group . Lots of lovely local restaurants just a little bit back from the sea front , they usually are cheaper and very tasty 😊.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to visit Benidorm. I will definately come to Benidorm soon. Can't get enough of the crystal blue water and blue skies. Thanks for sharing Tim.
Hi Tim. Really enjoyed your tour if Benidorm. It looks quiet nice and different from England. No I've never been but may consider it in the future thanks to you.
I must give this place a go one day, we’ve always talked about trying Benidorm but never got there, so it looks like a trip is on the cards one day, cheers Tim for sharing this, and yet another great video 👍👍👍😎
We've booked for Apr 23, 1st time in Benidorm, staying at Port benidorm Hotel on levante beach. Great to see it b4 we go, tfs. It looks great, I'll watch the night one after.
I also used to holiday in Benidorm throughout the 1980's. It has changed a lot since then. I remember there used to be a Lemon express tour up through the mountains. On a old yellow steam train with open carriages they served cheap wine and lemon juice on the train and made loads of stops to get off and look round old villages.
Hello Tim hope you are doing well. We are off to benidorm for the 3rd time. There is so much to see so we really appreciate the information you have provided. Great video and very helpful 👍 love the balcony the views are spectacular ❤
Went to Benidorm in 1974 we were 20 yrs young😁we stayed at the Pelicanas and the Pubuelo we loved it but now in Australia we lived in Bournemouth,great video cheers🍻🇦🇺🥰
❤Benidorm When I visit uk in 2024, the fam and I may have a weekender there. Lots of holidays in Benidorm as a kid, great fun in the 80’s. Glad you enjoyed it 🦘🌻🦘
Thanks for your Benidorm reviews. We've been going to Benidorm regularly for the last 10 years and since the pandemic lockdowns we are arriving next weekend for two weeks at the newly referbished Ambassador Playa II, adjacent to the also new fully rebuilt Western Saloon. We are also planning to book for 28 nights for the winter season sometime from November to March. Benidorm has everything for everyone and on the whole is flat making walking pleasurable. The local bus service is very good costing only a one off €1.55 each or buy a Euro loaded bus pass making it slightly cheaper per trip. The good weather (normally) is also a big attraction 😎
Great video Tim! - I was last there in June/July 08 and it's all come flooding back! I was also there in 1981 as a kid and the hotel was immediately shut down with Legionnaires disease straight afterwards! It's still there I saw - Hotel Rio Park up near the bullring.
Went there early 90s with family. It was brilliant fun. Especialy when me and my brother ditched the family and went rouge! I always knew i wanted to be by the water. . Fast forward 30years and i live in sunny perrh australia right on the beach! Great video, lovely memories.
Spent many many years in Benidorm during the 80’s & 90’s - I’ve seen Benidorm grow bigger and bigger. The storms are amazing, I’ve seen the entire beachfront flooded and the sea looks completely yellow - due to all the sand….. Haven’t been since 2011 - looks exactly the same. stayed at the los pelicanos back in the 80’s, also Morgans Tavern before it bacame famous. Have so many stories about Benidorm ❤
Hi there, just found your travels, thank you for taking me with, 70 this year and have ALWAYS wanted to visit Spain but living in South Africa makes it impossible monetary wise. Very happy to travel with you Tim at least I can live it through you. My hubby isn't to keen on travels anyway so your my perfect solution. Carol from Port Elizabeth
I got to go to Benidorm with my Spanish cousins in 2019, their mother owns an apartment there so they visit basically every summer. We never really ventured down past the old town to where the bars are (but we were like 15 at the time). Most of the places we went to were outside of Benidorm, we went to a vintage market, a water park and a really nice town on a hill (I can’t remember what it was called but it was painted white and had a church at the top). In Benidorm we rented kayaks and went snorkelling and we also rented a peddle boat with a slide on it. There was also this cool floating platform that you had to swim out to, it had lots of trampolines and diving board thing’s on it.
Never been but will go soon. My parents visited in 1974 for their honeymoon. You must be missing your beautiful lady. Hope your family is well. Thanks for video.
Your photography skills are great Tim, you record in a very similar manner to me when I go on holiday. Closest I've been to a place like Benidorm was sunny beach in Bulgaria. I prefer quiet off the beaten track to an extent!!
@@WalkWithMeTim Well it is very commercialised but I was staying at a Riu hotel with its own beach with my family (quiter area) and I walked it there on the beach, it's ok if you like all the commercialism.
Tim great video l love Benidorm. There is a great little tapas bar on the Levante beach next to the Burger King, La Rosita, last time l went it was 2.50 for a wine and a tapa!
I’d definitely go to Benidorm, and I loved watching the series Benidorm ,omg it was hilarious,nice to see all the peeps out exploring,looks like u have a great holiday.thanks for taking us with u,.awesome.
Can't believe I have never been. I was always put off by its somewhat "tacky" reputation, like Blackpool in spain (never been to Blackpool either) but Benidorm is starting to win me over after seeing that Bargain loving brits in the sun show. Were considering booking Benidorm this winter to escape our crappy uk weather. Thanks for this Tim, I really enjoyed this insight and you portrayed the city in a very positive way, which is great and boy do those beaches look fabulous.
I had the same feeling towards Benidorm until I tried it for the first time in 2018 and it was really enjoyable, the best bit about it is you can go to the party area (The new Town) Or go to the much more chilled pleasant atmosphere are of The Old Town. You can also walk along the Old Town beach to La Cala Finestrat Beach which has a nice small beach in a bay and full of nice bars and Cafes too! I rarely into the New town as it can be quite full on but it is great the nontheless!
Love it. I do the fridge magnet thing too! 😂. I’m going to visit the cross next time. We were in a large group so it was hard to fit everything in and we were only there for 4 days. Love Benidorm. Nice vid. Thanks.
i like how your very informative about the places you show us, and how you know either the history or even where the best cuppa is... terrific. even though i cant go to any of these, i still enjoy your vids,
Great video ..I've been benidorm nearly 40 times and even though I've never used them, I never knew that about those cash machines ..you learn something new every day I suppose 👍👍
Stayed in Alicante last month and took the tram to Benidorm for a wee day trip just to see what it’s like. Glad I went even though the weather wasn’t great but didn’t see enough to tempt me back for a stay. Be warned the walk from the beach to the tram station is like climbing a mountain! Hope you pop into Alicante city and make a video an your way back to the airport as it’s a nice place.
Another bit of unrequested trivia: the backstreet that Brits have recently renamed as 'tapas alley' has always been informally known by locals as _el callejón de los vascos_ or 'Basques alley' because of the disproportionately high number of both Basque bars and patrons there. And the pedestrian street where it ends - the one that takes you from Levante to the Elche park in Poniente beach - is popularly known as _calle del coño_ or 'c*nt street', which probably deserves an explanation too: In Spain, c*nt is a very mild swear word used in almost every sentence as an multiuse interjection. It's not used directed at someone but something you throw in the air; it's like sh*t or f*ck when used impersonally, but milder still. In this case, 'c*nt street' refers to the amazingly high possibility that Spanish tourists have of unexpectedly encountering a neighbour/friend/colleague/relative from their town of origin when walking along that street. As improbable as it sounds, it always happens, and you'd typically greet each other by saying _Coño, que haces aquí?_ or 'hey, what are you doing here?'.
Lovely video thanks for showing us around Tim! The beaches & blue crystal water look beautiful. I’ve only seen Benidorm on the tv series (which I love, the characters are comedy genius!) but not visited myself. After seeing your tour I’d definitely like to go & explore - so much more to it than what you’d expect. Would make a great trip for a long weekend getaway!
Benidorm is amazing for disable access I took my partner who is a double leg amputee they have the mobile bikes with big wheels that they took him in the sea we need to up the anti and follow in Benidorm footsteps it’s shocking how little facilities there are for disable people ☹️
Love it. I do the fridge magnet thing too! 😂. I’m going to visit the cross next time. We were in a large group so it was hard to fit everything in and we were only there for 4 days. Love Benidorm. Nice vid. Thanks.
Been watching your videos for a couple days now and I love the way you reply to everyone lol even if it’s just a one word response. Can I get a classic ‘wow’ or ‘omg’
Wow I enjoyed this. When I saw the mobility scooters, I remembered Marge from the TV series haha. I’m going there next year and it looks wonderful there.
Bloody love Benidorm. First went in 2012 with my husband, mum, stepdad and granny and granda but we stayed in the Avenida in the old town so never saw much of the new town. In 2013 I then went with my mum for her hen do and stayed in the Rincon area but spent a lot of time in the new town and Cafe B 😂 and I just fell in love. Me and my husband both had our 30th in Benidorm and our mini-moon and honeymoon the following year. Me and my mum have booked to go back in December to stay in the Rosamar for our 23rd visit. (Only twice have we stayed in a hotel we have been to before) we have also stayed every month apart from July and August as I don’t do heat well 😂 December has glorious weather.
I worked in Benidorm in the early 90s and a chap I know opened the first shop with 15 mobility scooters and within 3 months had 75 and he was opening another shop, a lot of the young kids rent them to go on pub crawls (no license and the police don't normally nick you for drunk driving), they were then as cheap as chips to hire but not the best quality
Me and my wife are going to benidorm in 13 days from today. Its our dream destination. We went last year and we adore it. We stop in the hotel mediterano. It's a beautiful hotel and a beautiful place to stay.
First time to your channel.... I've watched a lot of videos on benidorm absolutely love it I've booked for my 1st holiday next year..... your video was really good.. informative.. Crystal clear quality... I've saw places I didn't see on other vids..... thank you I've subscribed
Brilliant Vid Tim.. I'm Great Yarmouth lad myself... but live way out in Malaysia nowadays.. me and the wife love your vids.. super good when wanna plan a trip to Europe 👍👍👍🙏 hope to see you out this way one day.. would be great to show ya about KL!
Went to Benidorm for my Honeymoon in 2011,loved every minute of it.The old town was very interesting and the bars along the main beach is where we spent most of our time.👍unless we were in our room 😉.
I was in Benidorm in November just gone. Went in that tapas bar in the old town when the thunderstorm came, then about an hour later sun came out and 25c Plus Thanks for the content Tim.
Tim; have you considered visiting/covering Cascais and Sintra via Lisbon as one of your V-logs? Perfect fit with a wonderful (and cheap) train journey linking the two! 👍
Benidorm is beautiful. I went there back in the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s. Stayed in an apartment near to the Lavanty beach. We could walk across the road to get onto the beach from your apartment. It didn't take long to walk to the old town centre either. each
I’m a Benidorm veteran, been about 40 times over the years, was here end of March, I wish you had ventured out on the strip after dark, those bouncers are absolute animals they work in packs, some of the kickings I witnessed were beyond brutal.
@@thegoldendog7991depends on the part of Benidorm. The New town is very British but the old town is very Spanish. That’s why I love it something for everyone.
Hi Tim. Never visited Benidorm but it actually looks like a nice place. I only know Benidorm from the TV show. That was funny about the mobility scooters hire, maybe that came about from Madge's in the TV show. Another great video Tim. Debbie & Patrick

Glad you enjoyed it!
I actually live in Benidorm, as a Norwegian idiot. Things been kinda rough during the pandemic, but I wouldn't trade anything for all the weirdos and nice people I get to interact with. They are all lovely in their own ways. It is fun to live in Benidorm. It is so accepting and tolerant. Love it.
Love it
hi! I’m going to travel do benidorm from Norway, but I’m not quotes sure how to get to benidorm without taxi. Do you have any suggestions? :)
@@notmimi taxi too expensive. There are many options from Alicante, being train and buss the main ones
Better go home
Welcome to Alicante,, bus and train, the best options!@@notmimi
I am disabled and getting around on holiday. Benidorm is the best for getting around outside of the hotel. Mobility scooter is a godsend to me.

My parents used to holiday here several times a year for a month or so each time until they were 90. I've never been so your video shows me what they saw and did.
And what did you think
@@WalkWithMeTim I thought it was just a row of huge hotels so amazed how much is there.
you gonna go there for a holiday?
Last time I was in Benidorm was in the early 60’s when I went camping. No tall buildings - miles of beach and the old town. I cant believe how much it has changed! On the other hand, when I visited it was a long time ago when I was 18 years old. LOVE the hotel you chose, and that room with views, and the hot tub and even more views, were amazing! Viva Espana!
I was there in June last year and the old town is still beautiful.
@@deezrfc I am sure they would have preserved the old town, but I remember beaches that stretched for miles, and there were no high rise buildings cheek by jowl along that the sea side.
The water in the beach smells! We were there last August this year. Nope Benidprm has too many skyscrapers and it is very crowded.. Don't like it. Better in Alte, Albir, Calpe.
So true ! Modern tourism ruins EVERYTHING ! I will just be happy if the "ruins of the skyscrapers" will be finally blasted. . . (in 25 years from now ?)
It's the kind of place you can have an incredibly chilled holiday or completely mental one or a mixture of course. I cannot wait to return
It's a great place
@@WalkWithMeTim can I get a cannabis cafe
Or have go Alicante
I’m off to Alicante next month, can’t wait to visit Benidorm as well

I thought that small beach was just a dream I have had a few times, but I was always convinced I went there many many years ago. Thank you!!!!
you are welcome
Great video Tim! - I was last there in June/July 08 and it's all come flooding back! I was also there in 1981 as a kid and the hotel was immediately shut down with Legionnaires disease straight afterwards! It's still there I saw - Hotel Rio Park up near the bullring.
Omg
The sea is a beautiful colour and the views are amazing. First time I’ve seen the tapas restaurants in Benidorm on a travel vid it looks delicious
Excellent viewing 1st class professional production memories of many visits from my 1st holiday in 1978 the resort has changed so much well done👍🎬

I was a regular here in the 80's and early 90's. Nice to see it again. Some things have obviously changed.
Every time I see those concrete monoliths along the coast I think of the collapsing ones in the film 'Inception'.

Loved watching this video. So informative. 🙂

Can't believe I have never been. I was always put off by its somewhat "tacky" reputation, like Blackpool in spain (never been to Blackpool either) but Benidorm is starting to win me over after seeing that Bargain loving brits in the sun show. Were considering booking Benidorm this winter to escape our crappy uk weather. Thanks for this Tim, I really enjoyed this insight and you portrayed the city in a very positive way, which is great and boy do those beaches look fabulous.
I had the same feeling towards Benidorm until I tried it for the first time in 2018 and it was really enjoyable, the best bit about it is you can go to the party area (The new Town) Or go to the much more chilled pleasant atmosphere are of The Old Town. You can also walk along the Old Town beach to La Cala Finestrat Beach which has a nice small beach in a bay and full of nice bars and Cafes too! I rarely into the New town as it can be quite full on but it is great the nontheless!
Thanks Tim great views enjoyed that with my cuppa look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
Thanks yvonne
Love it. I do the fridge magnet thing too! 😂. I’m going to visit the cross next time. We were in a large group so it was hard to fit everything in and we were only there for 4 days. Love Benidorm. Nice vid. Thanks.
Thanks 😉
Great video Tim, I love Benidorm, only visited once last year but got hooked!
That's what happens lol
i like how your very informative about the places you show us, and how you know either the history or even where the best cuppa is... terrific. even though i cant go to any of these, i still enjoy your vids,
That means alot thank you
Great video ..I've been benidorm nearly 40 times and even though I've never used them, I never knew that about those cash machines ..you learn something new every day I suppose 👍👍
Agree
Stayed in Alicante last month and took the tram to Benidorm for a wee day trip just to see what it’s like. Glad I went even though the weather wasn’t great but didn’t see enough to tempt me back for a stay.
Be warned the walk from the beach to the tram station is like climbing a mountain!
Hope you pop into Alicante city and make a video an your way back to the airport as it’s a nice place.
I'll bare that in mind
Thank you for a very informative vlog. Im going to share this video with my son as hes going out to benidorm for his first time on Wednesday.
You should 😉
This video is put together well... can't wait to visit Benidorm! Thank you for sharing!
Any time!
Another bit of unrequested trivia: the backstreet that Brits have recently renamed as 'tapas alley' has always been informally known by locals as _el callejón de los vascos_ or 'Basques alley' because of the disproportionately high number of both Basque bars and patrons there.
And the pedestrian street where it ends - the one that takes you from Levante to the Elche park in Poniente beach - is popularly known as _calle del coño_ or 'c*nt street', which probably deserves an explanation too:
In Spain, c*nt is a very mild swear word used in almost every sentence as an multiuse interjection. It's not used directed at someone but something you throw in the air; it's like sh*t or f*ck when used impersonally, but milder still.
In this case, 'c*nt street' refers to the amazingly high possibility that Spanish tourists have of unexpectedly encountering a neighbour/friend/colleague/relative from their town of origin when walking along that street. As improbable as it sounds, it always happens, and you'd typically greet each other by saying _Coño, que haces aquí?_ or 'hey, what are you doing here?'.
Brilliant vlog tim really interesting we've never been, but after watching you vid may look at going later in the year.Thank's for a great watch👌👌
Thanks neil
Lovely video thanks for showing us around Tim! The beaches & blue crystal water look beautiful. I’ve only seen Benidorm on the tv series (which I love, the characters are comedy genius!) but not visited myself. After seeing your tour I’d definitely like to go & explore - so much more to it than what you’d expect. Would make a great trip for a long weekend getaway!
agree you should
Just go! It make it longer than a weekend, you’ll be glad you did.
Benidorm is amazing for disable access I took my partner who is a double leg amputee they have the mobile bikes with big wheels that they took him in the sea we need to up the anti and follow in Benidorm footsteps it’s shocking how little facilities there are for disable people ☹️
And beach access
Love it. I do the fridge magnet thing too! 😂. I’m going to visit the cross next time. We were in a large group so it was hard to fit everything in and we were only there for 4 days. Love Benidorm. Nice vid. Thanks.
Maspalomas Gran Canaria is the Same! Puerto del Carmen in Lanzarote might start that too
Been watching your videos for a couple days now and I love the way you reply to everyone lol even if it’s just a one word response. Can I get a classic ‘wow’ or ‘omg’
Lol .. its hard to reply to everyone without doing that 😪
@@WalkWithMeTim I think it’s sweet haha. Especially your interactions with all the regulars I see on the channel like david or kkrispy
Great video, I don’t think this would be my cup of tea at all but I can see the attraction for some.
Wow I enjoyed this. When I saw the mobility scooters, I remembered Marge from the TV series haha. I’m going there next year and it looks wonderful there.
Another great video Tim. Many thanks for sharing this with us. 👍
You are welcome
Bloody love Benidorm. First went in 2012 with my husband, mum, stepdad and granny and granda but we stayed in the Avenida in the old town so never saw much of the new town.
In 2013 I then went with my mum for her hen do and stayed in the Rincon area but spent a lot of time in the new town and Cafe B 😂 and I just fell in love.
Me and my husband both had our 30th in Benidorm and our mini-moon and honeymoon the following year.
Me and my mum have booked to go back in December to stay in the Rosamar for our 23rd visit. (Only twice have we stayed in a hotel we have been to before) we have also stayed every month apart from July and August as I don’t do heat well 😂 December has glorious weather.
I worked in Benidorm in the early 90s and a chap I know opened the first shop with 15 mobility scooters and within 3 months had 75 and he was opening another shop, a lot of the young kids rent them to go on pub crawls (no license and the police don't normally nick you for drunk driving), they were then as cheap as chips to hire but not the best quality
Me and my wife are going to benidorm in 13 days from today. Its our dream destination. We went last year and we adore it. We stop in the hotel mediterano. It's a beautiful hotel and a beautiful place to stay.
Love the old Benidorm town
Great video mate visiting benidorm again soon and cant wait!!
Hope you enjoy it!

Went to Benidorm for my Honeymoon in 2011,loved every minute of it.The old town was very interesting and the bars along the main beach is where we spent most of our time.👍unless we were in our room 😉.
Old Town is best
why would you want to spend any time in your room?😉
No
Nice place bendom lots sun ther old town great one day u doing jerseys and Guernsey great place visit great video
Well defo
I was in Benidorm in November just gone. Went in that tapas bar in the old town when the thunderstorm came, then about an hour later sun came out and 25c Plus Thanks for the content Tim.
you are welcome
Wonderful walk Tim. Nice place 👍👍
I think so 😉
There is a theme park just outside the town too with some great rides if you want a change from the beach.
Tim; have you considered visiting/covering Cascais and Sintra via Lisbon as one of your V-logs? Perfect fit with a wonderful (and cheap) train journey linking the two! 👍
Nope I haven't but will think about it
Benidorm is beautiful. I went there back in the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 80s. Stayed in an apartment near to the Lavanty beach. We could walk across the road to get onto the beach from your apartment. It didn't take long to walk to the old town centre either.

I’m a Benidorm veteran, been about 40 times over the years, was here end of March, I wish you had ventured out on the strip after dark, those bouncers are absolute animals they work in packs, some of the kickings I witnessed were beyond brutal.
I’ve not been yet, but based on this video Benidorm seems more English than Spanish. Is this accurate?
@@thegoldendog7991depends on the part of Benidorm. The New town is very British but the old town is very Spanish. That’s why I love it something for everyone.
Been to benidorm about 10 times the last holiday was 2019 but I will return hopefully next year miss benidorm big time can't wait to next year
Booked up for November and February 😊from Glasgow 😎🇬🇧
Never Been There Pal . Looks "OK" .Not One For Walking 🤣🤣.Beer Pool Sun For Me . Great Vlog 👍👍
thanks Dave
Hi Tim. Never visited Benidorm but it actually looks like a nice place. I only know Benidorm from the TV show. That was funny about the mobility scooters hire, maybe that came about from Madge's in the TV show. Another great video Tim. Debbie & Patrick
Would you visit tho ... lol
Hmm Tim I would have to think about that one.
I’m going to Benidorm for my stag next year. Can’t wait! 😝
have fun
