    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.

    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!

    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.

    Wonder how many people watch you 2 thinking,that’s just like us (inc us) 😂. Entertaining as per 😂. Last time I went to Benidorm was 16 years ago,lovely during the day with a fantastic beach,but changed at night,the old town with the blue rinse brigade or “the other side” where it was 80% English blokes,I’d never seen as many black eyes in one place in my life 😂 keep up the good work

    We’ve watched this vlog a few times as we love Beni and you two. Like you, we went into the Saltoki bar and had the same miserable and expensive experience. The hotel we stay in is just around the corner, The Corona del Mar. Very nice. Also I noticed Helen has the same sun specs as me, bought in the Ale Hope, pronounced, Alley Hop.

    Benidorm is nothing like Blackpool it’s clean and new building .Blackpool is a sad rundown these days .Had a lot of laughs in Benidorm people watching depends on your outlook on life we all know there are other places around Spain don’t have to go far outside Benidorm if you want tranquility The Spanish have lovely beaches and so clean

    First time I've seen one of your vlogs, great fun really enjoyed. My take on Benni is like Orlando, you dont go there for the 'deep cultural experience' you go to party, end of. Done that in 79/80 and boy did we party!...too old now 😔😂...and I never really liked Spain, but highly recommended, if you've never been, dive in, forget your pretentions, and have fun.

      The only reason I'd go now would be to see if the lads had the same ways, like a couple would hit the beach all day, a couple would sit round the pool, some had tidy rooms, some lived like pigs, some eould be straight into chatting up the women, some would be play 'wingman'...some danced, some didnt, some would be drunk nearly all the time...
      Great times...fond memories...and we did it all without having to take drugs, which weren't common then anyway
