The 'real reason' Brits don't go to Benidorm in August

Benidorm is not always full of Brits. A travel content creator shared a video in TikTok, in which he discussed with his friend the reason why they think British travellers don't seem to go to Benidorm in August. Benidorm remains among the most sought-after destinations for British tourists, with thousands flocking to Alicante yeas year. Located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Benidorm in sonsidered the pearl of Costa Blanca. It is a city of skyscrapers, constant entertainment and tourists.

However, a Brit abroad known on TikTok as @harrytokky said that while there are a lot of French, Spanish and Italian tourists in Benidorm in August, not as many Brits visit the destination during this hot month. Bestdes the red alert temperature, another issue, according to the video, are extremely high prices.

"August is actually the quietest month for British tourists," the content creator said to his pal, who responded: "110%. It's the Spanish holidays. A lot of Spanish, a lot of French here."

He added it is too expensive, with holidaymakers outpricing themselves in the hotels. Asked by the TikToker to shared their opinion on why they don't come to Benidorm, some British tourists said the city is just too expensive.

One said: "Refuse to pay the rip off prices, September is quarter the price and weather more bearable." A traveller shared that for a family of four, the trip in August would cost them more than £3,000.

Another one said they couldn't risk the too high temperature, while one user blamed it on pickpockers.

The content creator also explained why people shouldn't rent a car in Benidorm during this month.

In another video, he and his friend shared the prices of renting cars is "ridiculous," so Harry said his "important message" is that "it's just not worth it," and you should "get a transfer".

In the comments, someone wrote: "What Harry hasn't told you, a lot of Spanish head to the coast in August, so it affects parking. It's 'tourist' parking, but it's Spanish people who have driven to the resorts."

Harry replied: "Lots of Spanish, 100% lots of Europeans too, either way, there’s definitely no parking in Benidorm at the moment. Took me an hour to get parked."
