You very rarely find residential expats acting in such a manner šŸ˜¤ anywhere in Benidorm. Dont be confused with the two species!!!!

Ash, Ray has never had a soft spot for Benidorm šŸ™„

There are hundreds of brit expats mainly in the Rincon de Loix area. We do go out drinking occasionally but as it's our home town we behave!!!

Where abouts will you be living in Benidorm? 

Calle Londres is a popular gathering place for expats as there are plenty of British ran bars. Stars Lounge bar, Stretford end [if you like football] London bar, The Drop inn, Saxo bar, Midnight bar. That is a list of usual bars the locals drink on Calle Londres. You can find them about from 3 pm until probably 10pm. 

There are many more areas where expats gather (peacefully) 

Other nice areas to live are La Cala, Albir, Altea, etc.

I live just on the edge of the centre in Rincon area. Benidorm expats live IN Benidorm. Most of the people I know and socialise with are within walking distance of Calle Londres or Lavante beach.

The problem is that 95% of those are 65 or way over.

Hi we often stay in Benidorm. However there is a lovely place Atea near to Benidorm that is a lot quieter and a nice place to buy a property.

Altea is a smaller tourist town about 8 miles up the coast from Benidorm. Over the winter period and outside the tourist season it tends to be on the quiet side. Lovely place for a holiday with plenty of sites to see but not a place I would like to live full time. Albir which is a slightly smaller town is very similar for tourist attractions etc.
