Latest News TikTok Sensation: Beer in Benidorm Cheaper than Tea, UK Tourists Delighted by Benidorm Travel Mart 23 December 2022 written by Benidorm Travel Mart 2 minutes read Two British tourists were shocked to find out that a pint of beer in Benidorm is cheaper than a cup of tea. Graham, 38, and Darren, 48, from Middlesbrough decided to book a 5-day trip to the popular Spanish resort because they thought it would be more affordable than staying at home. In a TikTok video that has garnered over 1.7 million views, the pair can be seen at a bar in Benidorm asking the bartender the price of two drinks. When they find out that a pint costs only 87p (€1), they are surprised because it’s cheaper than a cup of tea, which would cost £1.31 (€1.50). One of them jokes, “Well, I can’t afford not to drink.” The average price of a pint in the UK is £3.95, according to CGA. People on TikTok praised the men, with some calling them “legends” and others saying that they should be the “poster boys” for the average person going to Benidorm. Graham said that Darren ended up singing on stage with Chrissy Rock from the TV show Benidorm, which he recorded on video.

Latest News ‘Here comes the sun’. New Netflix film takes an in-depth look at Benidorm by Barry Duke 21 November 2022 written by Barry Duke 5 minutes read While most other holiday resorts experience the peaks and troughs of seasonality, Benidorm is a destination that enjoys year-round popularity. This is made clear in a new Netflix documentary (in Spanish with English subtitles). The film—Here comes the sun, small reflections on sun and beach tourism—examines the economic, sociological, cultural and historical aspects of the resort, and uses images of a Brits enjoying the winter sunshine at the annual fancy-dress street party—said to be the largest in the world— which this November attracted around 40,000 people. Image via Facebook The documentary is directed by Óscar Bernàcer and lasts 55 minutes. Numerous people appear talking about different topics related to sun and beach tourism. It begins by examining the impact Covid had on Benidorm, and then addresses other issues, such as the future of the city, seasonality and the Imserso, the holiday scheme for pensioners sponsored by the Spanish Government. During the off-peak season, from October to June, cheaper holidays are made available to resident pensioners in Spain, whatever their nationality.
