We wanted to have a look at some of the villages and towns near Benidorm, we had a lovely relaxing day in Villajoyosa staying in an old fisherman's cottage on the beach and we were blown away by the stunning beauty of Altea.
We will be back in Benidorm for the Fiesta & Fancy Dress Party.

What a fantastic video James and Helen,love how you two just make a simple break look brilliant ..from gorgeous weather, seas,beaches the places you stay at, to eating ,drinking then more drinking...so down to earth DON'T change your ways...you are the real deal.

Never knew it was called peacock island. When I was a kid and holidayed in Benidorm, way back in 70’s 🙈 if you look at the mountain range behind Benidorm there’s one mountain with a square chunk missing. We were told a giant kicked that chunk out into the sea and that’s where the island came from 🤷‍♂️

@bythecurb 7 месяцев назад

Great story, thank you 😊❤️

@rottia3804 7 месяцев назад

Peacock island is there for the tourists I was told by an old friend of mine the Spanish pull it back into shore of a night.😂

@user-xn3ks1tl1f 7 месяцев назад

Hello James & Helen. This was a very pleasant and scenic video to watch. I especially liked Villa thingy - more my kinda place. Quiet and serene and not like Benidorm on steroids. I was intrigued by the holiday flat and the splendid views and think perhaps the open stairs would be a challenge ( and I don’t drink ). Super, it makes you want to visit too. Well done folks. 💕💕👍👍👍

Thanks for another great vlog. We’ve been to Altea on the bus from Benidorm lots of times and I’ve never been able to persuade my husband to go to the old town, after seeing what a great time you both had there he’s agreed to go in April when next there. You’re right re the measures when bottles brought to the table. VERY generous. Barbara and Brian x

Hi James and Helen, Lovely to see you back in a place you both seem to love, altea looks like a lovely place. All your accommodation so far looks great 😊 Peacock island we went there in 80s, what a let down, 1 Peacock and 6 chickens 😮, the boat left so quick you didn't have chance to get back on, so an expensive cafe and a 2 hour wait 😢. Loving the Benidorm vlogs. Take care both. Paul and Joanne 👍 😊
