Benidorm on a Budget: Our First Time Ever

Sorry for the delay in getting this vlog out but we've been having such a great time in Benidorm. The wifi wasn't great either so I've had to wait until we get back to Elche before uploading

Hi everyone, check out our more recent Benidorm vlogs here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jou9f2Z9ZrKHhKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHLEqaSvbJWBqrc

[@danieladams2986]

Humble, kind and unassuming people, I really enjoy watching your adventures. Thank you.

[@neilcolley25]

good to see

I absolutely Love Benidorm, Stayed there for a 5 week holiday in my friends sisters apartment the total cost was about 600 euros for the 2 of us for the 5 weeks. Our apartment was in front of the Sol Pelicanos (Solana Hotel) where they filmed the Benidorm TV series, and 2 streets up from beach. We used to go to Neptune's Bar a lot as it was a 2 minute walk away and had very good entertainment. There is so much Night Life and cafe's and Restaurants your spoilt for choice. and because we were both O.A.P's we lived on or weekly pensions. Your Holiday brought back very pleasant memories.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, we loved it

[@sicr7373]

What a cracking video, I bloody love you two, I really do! and Helen was so funny at 14:04 , I honestly thought she was going to say 'shower' classic Helen! HA HA! I thought the bit where the Tapas bar owner offered you some free food and drink really showed us your two different personalities, James was very polite and possibly felt slightly uneasy and only had four items of Tapas whereas Helen is like, 'Wahay! fill yer boots, get in there!!' This is why you two are such a great match together, and finally, how amazing it would be to see the pair of you on one of those tandem scooters, Helen would be the new 'Madge' of Benidorm! So glad you're both having a great time, take care the pair of you!

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, we did consider hiring a tandem scooter 😂😂

I lived in Benidorm in the early 80’s. I lived in the old town with the locals and had a fantastic time. It was dirt cheap them days, great food and lots of San Miguel. You could pub crawl along the bars to the west end clubs taking advantage of happy hours. There was a late night club called Black Sabbatt that opened at midnight and closed at 7am. Then straight down the beech to get some sleep.
