I'll never understand the logic of going abroad (Spain or elsewhere) and only eating what you do at home. If that's what going abroad is about for you? Stay home and use the airfare to book a week in Blackpool instead. Spain has some of if not the best food in Europe
Spanish food is overrated... Tapas, especially in Benidorm is like left over wedding buffet food... It's okay for a few days and then I get bored of it... I do love my garlic prawns though... I used to be a bit snobby like you but people like what they like... At the end of the day, the main reason they go abroad is for the guaranteed sun... If they fancy a full English, fish and chips or roast dinner while in Spain, then so what, they doing what they enjoy... Life would be boring if we all did the same thing and we all have different tastes!... Also, when I go to non-spanish destinations, the Spanish tourists eat just like they do at home so they're exactly the same as us, they like home comforts!
Just came across your videos last night and now watching them all. Were thinking of going to Benidorm next September for the 50th birthdays. Last time i was there i was 21. Been going to Tenerife for years but this year at xmas will be our last for a long time as just not same anymore. Went to Turkey in may and Albuferia in September.
I was thinking about Tenerife at some point , is it not worth it anymore ? You’ll love Benidorm again. I’ve been going for last 20 years and never disappoints.
@Yorkshire_Lee . Over the last few years Tenerife has become unsafe on a night out. Last year at Xmas was full of gypsy families and that stopped others being able to enjoy themselves. Tenerife still pretty cheap and plenty to do. Would always say to anyone to give it a try.
We love benidorm we go there 3 times a year and we all ways stay in the old town in a fantastic place to meet people and see all of the culture of the old town
Love the way you show that there is so much more to Benidorm Than just the strip.We love the central area near the old town for a coffee in the morning and the Poniente side is so beautiful.Keep them coming !I say what I like and I like what I bloody well say 🤣what a sketch thanks for reminding me!
Keys to Benidorm for Yorkshire Lee as he pushes back against the Anti-Benidorm Snobbery from people that probably in most cases have never been or are too Judgemental. Look on the bright side Lee ..Benidorm with its stunning coastal vista and unique friendly people is what it is because the boring Benidorm critics STAY AWAY...🤙 Nice one pal...🤙😎👏👌💯🤝
Nelly famous dry sense of humour had me in stitches, Lee: Do you not like heights?? Nelly: I love em mate, it's the falling from em I'm not keen on 😂😂😂
awesome video, as usual, Mr.Lee. For next time try "Pintxos Aurrea" or "Los Pinchos Morunos II" for the best spanish tapas ever, but if you really want to try spanish food go for "Restaurante el Niño" if you want to try a proper paella, no bullshit for tourist, or maybe another classic spanish cousine. Hope your doing well with personnal stuff and best wishes, cheers
Thanks and Self taught, Macmaster is great. But don’t really try to follow his style, me pointing a camera at myself and talking is prob where comparison ends, don’t think he does high concept videos or voice overs. Be yourself 😎
Hi Lee, Is Benidorm just a lot of alcohol? Are the beaches actually nice and is there good swimming or is the current strong? And is there a lot of walking spots? It appears to be a lot cheaper than Alicante, just want to know if there other things to do other than just drink alcohol?
Yes, plenty to do. Plenty of nice walks, to the cross etc. beaches are fantastic and a lot better than some other popular European destinations beachs.
Bit of a niche subject but if any of your gang is in Allopurinol 100mg I got a box of 100 out there for £2.73. Ten times more expensive in UK on prescription. Gonna see what else I can get cheap next time I'm there .😁
well lee you did ask ,, so we go to the yorkshire pride quite a lot and always 100 % ian and jen and me cat benjelina xxx yorkshire lee / yorkshire pride
Great video 👍 I couldn’t find where to get an aperol spritz when we went in February (first time for me), so thanks for showing where to get one, looked lovely 🍹
If I went, id be going just for the sun and I wouldn't want any complications like Spaniards knocking about or anything foreign. Just British food, and some sun. So id choose Benidorm and hope it was like that, as there's probably nowhere else more likely to be like that in Spain.😁😁
Great video, good stuff. By the way, as a brit who lives in west spain in a very spanish area, we are looking to move to benidorm to live. My mates have told me dont live in benidorm given that i will most likely look for a cheap annual rental of a flat, in turn meaning a bad area? Are there bad areas to benidorm i mean? Though me and my partner both work, our work is not always reliable and so need to look at lower rental prices. I do get tired of one mate of mine saying benidorm is "cheap" or "a dump". I hate this reputation people give to benidorm, it looks nice on videos etc. We aim to visit benidorm this month to see if we want to live there. My partner is spanish, but we both want a more brit expat part of spain Do you think alicante will be easier to get better accomodation at the same price? Thanks for any advice
Alicante is one of the best value areas in Spain for property and not too far away from Benidorm... Also check out the nearby town to Benidorm called Villajoyosa!... It's absolutely stunning but more expensive for property than Benidorm... Torrevieja which is lower down from Alicante is dirt cheap and is like a poor man's Benidorm but is a little too run down for my liking and probably a bit too far away from Benidorm if you're wanting to travel there regularly... If you go on the Idealista website, there's a draw feature where you can draw an outline of the area you want to buy and then filter it... Test it out on different areas and then filter to get a feel for the prices for each location.
@@landscapeandmonuments1615 There is a TH-camr called Benidorm and Beyond who has covered bad areas in Benidorm. Also a TH-camr called Benidorm by Ana who has a side business of helping people move to the Benidorm area. Might be worth checking them out.
@@davidholgate123 really useful info, much appreciated. Yes, Alicante city looks more realistic even though I prefer Benidorm. I checked idealista and nearly all flats are summer rents only when I type in 750 euros for two bedrooms. Our budget is that figure. It makes Benidorm therefore nearly impossible whereas Alicante at that price does have ok apartments. As we will be moving from a totally Spanish part of Spain, we would like more of a Brit community, does Alicante city have some English element? Was considering Torrevieja but as u say, seems to get bad press . Thanks again
Tried smoked salmon for the first time in the Ambassador yesterday morning.🤢🤢🤢 Went back to Egg on toast with a side of scrambled egg. Yorkshire pride told us 1hour so went next door to winning post. The food was decent but not YP standards.
Smoked salmon is like a steak, it's fantastic when it's quality but you have to get through a lot of dross to find that quality... The 20% that are fantastic make up for the 80% of dross lol.
I'll never understand the logic of going abroad (Spain or elsewhere) and only eating what you do at home. If that's what going abroad is about for you? Stay home and use the airfare to book a week in Blackpool instead. Spain has some of if not the best food in Europe
I had tapas and Spanish tostada in the video.
@@Yorkshire_Lee I just mean in General though, not you specifically
Fair enough, some people like their home comforts I guess. I love Spanish food personally. Thanks for watching.
@@Yorkshire_Lee You're welcome!

Beni is brilliant..no way i would go to blackpool before benidorm
Yeah I agree. Totally different places.

Love both the new and old town. Great to someone showing both sides.
This guy is becoming one of my favourite channels to watch. I've been watching a while, just subscribed. The two mates are cracking 3 amigos, haha
Glad you like it mate. Much appreciated.
We love benidorm we go there 3 times a year and we all ways stay in the old town in a fantastic place to meet people and see all of the culture of the old town
Yeah the old town is a total different ball game. And if you want the hustle and buzz of new town it’s only a short walk.
Really good video can’t wait to watch another cheers
Glad you enjoyed it☺️
Great video Lee! Love the thumbnail. ❤
Thanks, appreciate that Niamh.

You never know mate.
Great video Lee. As they say something for everyone 🎉
Thanks Ian. Certainly is.
The church looks lovely in Nov covered in a flowered arse it's nice inside as well. And I love feeding the doves when I'm on holiday there
Yeah it’s such a lovely part of town. A lot more to Benidorm than people realise.
That's a great thumbnail !
Thanks Kevin. Appreciate that. ☺️
We found that pizza shop last time we were there and they are incredible, best pizzas in Benidorm by far.
Definitely mate.
Brill as ever Lee 👍
Thanks mate.
Where ya from Lee?. We’re from Huddersfield. Really enjoy your vids.
Cheers mate.

Nice one pal...🤙😎👏👌💯🤝
Love it mate. I’d gladly accept the keys too 🤣
What happened the night before for you to eat food like that the next day?😂
Nelly famous dry sense of humour had me in stitches,
Lee: Do you not like heights??
Nelly: I love em mate, it's the falling from em I'm not keen on 😂😂😂
Haha I know. He’s a character. 🤣
Funny is nelly😂
It's the landing from falling from height that gets me pal lol
Benifdotf😊🎉😂
great vid Lee, i'm going August, cant wait... Jobs reyt
I can’t wait to get back. I’m there end of August with my daughter.
Great video
Thanks ☺️
Closest Sausage to a butchers Sausage from The Penny Farthing near the outdoor market at the rear of the Helios Hotel. 👍
Definitely one to try, think you’ve told me that before mate.
@@Yorkshire_Lee I think I have lol.
I will test it, I think most people would pay extra for quality, if someone started offering it. I know you can get them from the indoor market. 😂

Hope your doing well with personnal stuff and best wishes, cheers
Thanks. Sounds good, will definitely be trying those out. Love a good paella. 🥘
What a fantastic video. Shows how diverse Benidorm can be.
I'm here now at Sandos Monaco!
Never stayed there. Would you recommend?
😍❤️
Love it. Great video Lee. We are off for 10 days in August with the nippers.
Is it all cash or can you use your card?
I use cash everywhere, but most places take card now. Have a good one. 😎
That brown sauce done a number on you mate 😂
Terrible, never seen brown sauce. Would avoid wooky hollow just because of that. Need to get some HP or Daddies 🤣
@@Yorkshire_Lee has to be done making my way through your latest videos now for a little catch up
Just had a week in Benidorm was great accept the offers of Charlie on the strip.
Yeah you can’t escape that on the strip.
Another fab video. I am going to have to book for Benidorm.
Thanks. Do it, you won’t regret it. 😎
@@Yorkshire_Lee Ive been to Benidorm a few times and everytime I see it i just want to go back lol
That’s me , 30 odd times and counting. 😂
@@Yorkshire_Lee not been that many times, but i do love Benidorm.
Ah Castleford then.👍
Yes cas vegas 😎
Fresh ia nice also refuel
Yes, I like refuel too. All the food at fresh looked fantastic.
Refuel is very expensive now. Sherrys is best
I'm HERE!!!!!
Have a good one.
Love wookly hollow
It was okay. Pretty similar to a lot Breakfasts I’ve had in the new town to be honest.
Great video .. looking at coming over in couple of weeks..looking at booking Port Benidorm 😊.. have you stayed 😎☀️
Thanks. I’ve not, but I’ve heard good things about it. Ambassador is great, the flash is good, and gold Arcos too.
I can vouch for the ambassador 2 , stayed last year and was there last week too.👍🏻
@@Yorkshire_Lee … Thanks for reply 👍
Hi love what you do your friend with the spiky hair looks like Gordon Ramsay but seems like a lovely person
Thanks for watching Karen.
Good vlog mate, but who taught you the trade ? The Macmaster ? Seems very similar format
Thanks and Self taught, Macmaster is great. But don’t really try to follow his style, me pointing a camera at myself and talking is prob where comparison ends, don’t think he does high concept videos or voice overs. Be yourself 😎
Couple of weeks ago the Liam Gallagher tribute in Morgan’s Tavern was excellent
Yeah I be seen him. Very good.

Bit of a niche subject but if any of your gang is in Allopurinol 100mg I got a box of 100 out there for £2.73. Ten times more expensive in UK on prescription. Gonna see what else I can get cheap next time I'm there .😁
That is niche 😂, but could be good knowledge for some people.
@@Yorkshire_Lee I've saved like £60 which can go towards my next Benidorm visit.😂
True two sides i don't do.new. town

and always 100 %

Great video 👍 I couldn’t find where to get an aperol spritz when we went in February (first time for me), so thanks for showing where to get one, looked lovely 🍹
Glad I could help. It’s a great spot that bar.
You find a white pickup truck ?
?
If I went, id be going just for the sun and I wouldn't want any complications like Spaniards knocking about or anything foreign. Just British food, and some sun. So id choose Benidorm and hope it was like that, as there's probably nowhere else more likely to be like that in Spain.😁😁
If you want your British home comforts Benidorm is definitely a place to go for an holiday with sunshine. ☀️
It’s definitely not Blackpool with the sun Benidorm is not falling apart 🙈🙈😂😂
Yeah bit rough round edges is Blackpool. 😂

In my modest opinion if you come to Spain to eat english breakfast, I think its stupid, in Spain food its amazing, specially in non tourist areas
I love the Spanish food myself. Thanks for watching.
They may make foreign foods better than spanish
Not Blackpool lol up yous
That’s what the whole vid is about, I hate it when people compare them.
