I’m not sure. We were around the Benidorm area from Mid Oct 2019 until mid March 2020 and passed it a few time’s (I assume it’s the place near the Benidorm Palace). It was always closed when we passed it but we tend to go out in the Old town area or the surrounding towns of Albir/Altea etc ...

...and seldom frequent that area, so I’m not really sure to be honest.

Absolutely no problem and good of you to say.

In the series it is successfully run by a drag queen, then bought by a couple who lasted a year (I think) and then they sold it on to family but what happened after that I don’t know.

Cheers Beni - it went a bit ‘off message’!
All the best to you.

(Got it on now and seeing the third owners of the Showboat - someone told me it went out of business in the end, is that true?).

Can't believe all this started over a TV programme.

Pix elated. If you haven't already, you will come to realise that mentioning the UK (in whatever context) and Spain in the same post will draw a similar response from a few contributors. There appears to be a great deal of resentment surrounding the result of the referendum and its consequences. Again because of the views of the political parties who opposed it their supporters are vociferous in their opposition. My opinion? What is done is done, live with it. Pulling down the UK because of it is pointless. By the way it is an entertaining programme. If we were to dissect every programme, as some would have it, there would be no entertainment only documentaries.

As bad as this might sound during this tough time for all of us; this situation could weed out the "cowboy - ferry" builders, electricians, plumbers and all illegally working - non registered people from all EU and non-EU countries here in Spain.. Which would be a good thing for the government's ...

Your TV show is also just that - a TV show. Take it with a grain of salt as they say..

I'm sure they are not so stupid as to look on the Benidorm tv series as real .... please! chill out! Good people just asking how all are getting on. Not looking for one of your frequent rants
