Excuse me, but I'm Spanish and always have lived in Benidorm and Spanish driving is nowhere near to reckless. In fact (I know it isn't representative of all British people), the British people who come to Benidorm for their hen/stag parties and get really drunk, I think is another thing one should beware. The fact that there is no need for traffic lights at some zebra crossings, reflects that pedestrians have full priority. Nobody is going to run over anybody else. Apart from the other scams, Benidorm is a totally safe tourist destination.

I don't drink myself and I'm well travelled and what I've witnessed on my travels is the Germans are the worst drinkers ,they even have a few beers with their breakfast and drink all day! Yes I agree that alot of Brits just go on holiday for the piss up! Benidorm caters for these people so throw tge blame on them!

Go inside the the bank to use their cashpoints, if you use the outside ones don't do it if you see anyone on their phones standing around nearby, they're trying to record your pin number and chances they have a friend down the street ready to pick pocket you. Ladies use a cross the body shoulder bag in front of you at all times and I keep my hand over the zipper. I don't sit it down or hang it on my chair back ever.

@@sydmichel That is the main purpose, to rob the people standing watching who would "never fall for such an obvious scam"! Sometimes a "helpful passer by" will warn everyone that pickpockets are about, so everyone instinctively feels for their wallet, then the pickpockets know where they are. Last thing to note is that even though the pea men are always fairly dark skinned locals, a lot of their pickpocket assistants AREN'T. They look just like English tourists.

Hi Asa 👋 ive just been watching the whole Benidorm series yes all 10 series. I love to watch you sing. I took my family to Sol Pelicanos Ocas last Easter 2019. We had just 1 day if sunbathing and then the micro climate heavens opened all week😭😭😭it ruined the holiday for my two daughters aged 17 and 12. They were looking forward to going on the beach and round the pool. And I took on a part time job the previous year to work hard to save all the money to go all inclusive. Damn that weather. I'm bipolar so the sun and rest really helps me cope. 🥴Oh well time to save hard again and hopefully get a good week next time we go.

On one of my hols in Benidorm I watched a woman give a gentleman a hug after he gave her a money gift to her disabled child, she lifted his wallet so fast and made her escape, I was too far away to do anything as I was on our Hotels roof patio, then a couple of days later someone lifted my hotel door card key from my back pocket without me knowing a thing. But apart from those encounters Benidorm was a great place to have a good time, apart from Holiday Reps day trips, they are a rip off.

Use ATMs at banks. Then you get the proper commercial exchange rate. You'll still get fleeced by your own bank, who think sending a few bytes down a wire is worth a fiver, but since Nationwide stopped free foreign withdrawals there is nothing you can do about that. It's still cheaper than any exchange.

Just to clarify what you've been told here, stay away from free standing atm's. Even the majority of banks now charge for withdrawals. Fees range from about 1.5 euros per withdrawal up to Santanders eye-watering 5 euros. Just about the only bank machines which still give free withdrawals are those with 'Caja' in their name... i.e. 'Unicaja' and Cajasur'... Oh! and when a machine (or any shop/restaurant/bar/tobacco shop (if paying by card) ask if you want to pay in euros or pounds, ALWAYS say euros... in fact, make sure you insist on euros, as the exchange rate you'll get is seriously crap

What I can never understand about the pea men scammers is how the local police just let them get away with it. Don’t they ever use police in plain clothes in Spain? If they did, they’d surely stamp this out quickly. Or, is it a case of it isn’t Spanish people who get conned and only foreigners? Pickpockets are rife at the Sunday Market btw. Don’t be fooled either, my mum (who is nearly 91) spotted one in action and alerted the man who was about to be robbed, said the robber in question looked older than her!

Not being funny, but anyone stopping and thinking a total stranger with some spuds chopped up and a pea in a box is either entertaining or a way of winning money deserves to lose the shirt of their back lol.

Another scam in I came across,a guy pretending to be deaf with a clip board wanting donations for his charity. DO NOT GIVE HIM ANYTHING. Only found out when a local told me it's a SCAM, beware

Not all Spanish drivers are like that. Here in Jaén province, drivers stop if you are walking towards a crossing.

Use the Halifax clarity credit card to withdraw cash, When you need cash go into the Bank as you will actually get a better rate than at the ATM at the bank. Then use the Halifax app to pay off the balance from your current account then no intrest payable. ALWAYS pay in the local currency and tell them before they swipe your card.

@@AsaElliott it is saves me money when withdrawing cash also use the RBS world credit card for purchases as it's 9.9% ARP with no abroad usage fees and Caxton card as a back up. I never use a service that has a 5% credit card surcharge.

I got scammed by the pea man a few years ago I wasn’t aware at the time but after the scam I learned the truth. 3 days later I caught the pea scam guy again further up the beach he was just walking in front of me and I spat on the back of his legs. He wasn’t happy but it’s the least I could do to make a statement 😂

I wish I knew this before. I lost 160€ for guessing where the ball was, I was so sure about the answer but it just disapeared. they were also colaborating with an english man that I thought he was a tourist and he kept winning but afterwards I realized that he was one of the scammers
