Visitors to a popular Spanish resort express concerns over safety, vowing not to return after alarming reports of muggings.
Benidorm: So, there’s been some chatter about this popular Spanish resort. A lot of holidaymakers are saying they won’t be back after hearing some pretty scary stuff. Harry Tokky, a YouTuber, has been sharing his experiences from Benidorm, which is usually a hit with UK tourists.
In one of his recent videos, Harry mentioned almost losing his phone in a place he calls ‘Muggers’ Alley’. He’s warning folks that this area is a hotspot for pickpockets. It’s right between some flats and a police station, not far from the well-known Morgan’s Tavern.
Harry described it as a place where people often get robbed. He’s heard plenty of stories about it, and it’s got a bit of a bad reputation. He’s really urging people to be cautious, especially if they’re out late at night.
Viewers of his video chimed in with their own safety tips. One person suggested walking near the bins and crossing the road to avoid trouble. Harry also mentioned that muggers tend to target drunk guys more than women, which is a bit unsettling.
Others shared their experiences too. One person said they’d seen muggings from their hotel window. Another warned about a road near a bar that’s not safe after dark. It seems like this issue has been around for a while, with many people echoing similar concerns.
Some folks even described how groups of people wait outside busy spots like KFC, looking for tipsy tourists. It sounds like the police know about it, but many tourists don’t report the incidents, which is a shame.
There’s also been talk about annoying vendors trying to pull people into pubs. A lot of people are saying they’re not in a rush to return to Benidorm. One tourist shared a story about a drunk guy getting robbed right in front of them, which is just wild.
Another person mentioned a close call when a woman tried to sneak into their bag as they were getting off a coach. It’s a mixed bag for tourists; while some enjoyed their stay, many are worried about the growing number of beggars and tricksters on the streets.
