Benidorm looks like its suffering

[Darlo1973]

Were staying at home. folk will have to holiday in the UK.

Which just makes everywhere in the UK more overcrowded and expensive.

Why aren't Spanish people flocking to Benidorm to enjoy all that entertainment?

They go to the other end of Benidorm, down where the Grand Bali hotel is.

I actually agree, just seen this headline and wanted to see how @Dodgy was doing out there because i know this will be affecting him directly

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

You said before it was good for the economy, it’s not that simple.

I know.

Tell us all where you’re going on holiday in Britain so we can all give it a miss incase we accidentally bump into you .

Do you always go on holiday with people from the board like. Haven’t you got your own mates?

 

[Its Him Again]

I haven't seen my 8 year old daughter or my 46 year old sister who is dying of cancer since August. Not everyone travels for a week of sun, sand and cheap booze.

Starting to get tough , not seen family since February 2020.
Yes It was my choice to move away however we didn't predict the pandemic

Because until last Monday we couldn't leave our regions.

summed it up, you don’t need to go, it’s like a warm blackpool

On the daft lads strip yes, there are some really nice areas though. The old town is great.

Shame really as it means the scratters are elsewhere

Think you are massively generalising there.

 

[Hep]

Aye I would

It isn’t like

Care to explain how you’ve come to that conclusion?

 

[safcsafc]

I’m right like mate

I am. There’s nowhere to go anyway. I’m happy enough climbing mountains and taking in the countryside. This next few weeks I’m doing Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis, spa weekend, wild camping in Wales and the Yorkshire Dales. Much rather do that than sit in Benidorm social distancing.

I’d take a week in Benidorm than climbing hills any day. Not that it’s one or the other. and spa weekends

I Spent 6 months of the panemic watching bargain loving brits abroad on repeat I reckon seeing the old boys and girls sweating their tits off in their caravans waiting for the onsite clubs 4pm happy hour to kick in

Most of them are my mates. I was out for a curry with "Happy Days" on Friday.

I've said before but I categorise places as somewhere I'd go with the lads and somewhere I'd go with my lass and benidorm is both, it's got everything, any sort of holiday you want it to be.

Perfectly summed up, marra.

Spot on mate. Too many people on here who probably have never been.

You knaa that Benidorm is totally surrounded by mountains, right.

He hasn’t bullied anyone on this thread though.

I don’t know the poster so haven’t a clue what’s gone on in the past.

Hmmmm... The bit about taking the piss out of @The soap powder for being bald sounded a bit like bullying to me.

Were staying at home. folk will have to holiday in the UK.

And will pay twice as much for the "pleasure" than they could go away abroad for.

They are. If you head to the old town, it's chocker.

There's very little entertainment going on at the minute, mind and the Spanish tend not to go to entertainment venues anyway cos they're often more expensive and they don't like to spend their money, generally speaking. It isn't uncommon to see a Spanish family in a bar and the father has a pint and the rest of the family sit with nothing to drink, watching him having his pint. It's unbelievable.

Our gaff isn't anywhere near Benidorm but we do visit friends there . There a large parts of Benidorm that are way better than any British seaside resorts .

I had a place 20 yrs ago outside a village called Gorga , which is up from concentaina in the Sierra Mariolla hills. Nearest large town was Alcoy . We used to drive 30 or so miles into Benidorm and visit the Old town regularly loved it. Especially the fact that it was always warmer in the winter than any where els in Spain.

Maybe they are all headed to Blackpool.

Aye, Graham is doing canny.

Scouse lads Aren't here at the minute or I certainly haven't seen them. Was working there a fortnight ago until the police stopped us for being too loud.
