Benidorm - Why do OAPs come in January ?
Benidorm is located on the Costa Blanca, Spain. Famous for it's beaches, bars, restaurants, nightlife, entertainment, hotels, sightseeing, party atmosphere, excursions, tours and sun. It is not only one of the top holiday destinations in Spain but one of the best tourist hotspots in the whole of Europe. British and Irish tourists love to travel to Benidorm, being one of the best resorts for a package holiday, but it is also well loved by many European travellers, and of course the Spanish themselves. It is an all year round holiday resort, the good weather means there is something to offer visitors of all nationalities and ages, and you will always find things to do and places to go. On our KZread channel we bring you travel vlogs which show you in depth everything Benidorm has to offer. We hope you enjoy, soak up the sunshine and subscribe to our channel.

An old boy used to come in our local when we were in our teens. He used to go to Benidorm for 3 months at a time in the winter months. He used to stay at the same apartments, in the same room, every year. He loved the place, as do many others.
Cannot blame anyone for getting away during the winter, good on them, I think its brilliant. 👏

Thank you for the up date Lucyv and your team. Weather looks amazing. Went out today in Nottingham in a hat, scarfe coat n boots. Would love to be walking along the beach in Benidorm 🙂 Hopefully it will happen around January one year.
I love this time of year as it’s quite tor and older folk don’t cause no trouble. Really love Benidorm
-5C here in Scotland, £600 per month to run the central heating, I am so jealous, we could save a fortune wintering in Benidorm!

Having been to Spain dozens of times, I have never been to Benidorm. I am dying to go, as I think it is suitable for anyone any age etc. I like a mixture of their Culture, mixed with British traditions, and I think Benidorm fits that bill. Thanks for the video.

OMG what a brilliant video report,i am 75 this year, and we have been to Benidorm once before but that was summertime and we enjoyed it very much, my problem is wifey is younger and by 11 years and just finds it difficult to be around the older people all the time it sort of brings her down a bit , it's to much of a reminder, she is very young at heart, but for me, the thought of being there all winter would be fabulous, we love mooching about and doing bus or train trips, so thanks for this one,.

With a monthly energy bill in the UK of around £280 (300 euros ) not surprised that those pensioners who are able spend 3 months go to somewhere warmer .Even a Hotel will reduce the rate for a long stay .be it half board or inclusive Love the ex publican stating not much boozing though 🙂 Good tip with the south facing apartment though

Definitely tempting to clear off in January. Lucky buggers. You'll still have to leave your heating ticking over at home though, so you'll still run up a bit of a bill. Trust me, if you don't you may come home to a 6 month hotel stay in the UK whilst your home is dried out and rebuilt internally after a frozen pipe type disaster!, 🥶🥶

The second couple are doing it right, holiday home England averaging £3500 site fees, then benidorm winter months probably the same. So living a whole year 7k - 8k and I'm assuming living off savings from the sale of a house. 👌

Thanks for sharing. I'm so intrigued by the fair rent for apartments.I was looking forward to catching a few names so I can get on the cheap deal.
Lucy this was a very good vlog bless you, lots of great info there for us all, what can possibly be better this time of year to ride out the british winter there, and the apartment prices being so good, cant wait for the wife to retire and were on our way!!, gutted we missed you a few weeks ago, but were back very soon! we stayed in the don pancho for a week for the new year, it was amazing!. So enjoyed you with the macmaster too!. would i be right in thinking that poiniente may be cheaper still?? love adrian&issy in a soaking wet windy caerphilly! xx

Poniente is generally a little more expensive actually as its considered the posh part haha. Rincon de Loix or central Old Town is where you'll find long let Winter bargains
I just checked this video out. As I am presently on my hols in Benidorm. But I always have a winter sun holiday at this time of the year. Especially to get over the winter blues of the British weather. I am now a pensioners I just retired from work at the end of last month, I still find it strange that I’m technically a OAP. But by calling me that makes me feel really old😢😢, I feel too young to be called that though. I’ve booked the same hotel for next year already

Just out of interest staying on topic, my wife and I stayed half board one week with a last minute booking with Jet2 for £550 for the two of us, however we had to fly back on Friday 13th, just as well we weren’t superstitious like one of interviewees😊, so bargains are out there to be had.

As far as a finding a job goes as long as you have the right paperwork for working in the EU there will be plenty around. Without the paper work I'm afraid its pretty much impossible.

You never have to pay for electricity or anything like that, seems pretty naive booking somewhere you have to pay extra for electricity and as far as internet goes plenty uk mobile networks still give you really good value eu use.
