Great advice most of us are guilty of switching off whilst on holiday. I remember back in the 80's I saw drive by bag snatches where usually two males on a moped ride around and pull ladies bags off their shoulders. Thanks Ana.
Great info video Ana, I am coming to Benidorm next year so will bear in mind what you said today. I always put my money and valuables in a bum bag when I am walking around town. Fortunately never had any issues.
I have found Benidorm relatively safe, I have a wallet that has a chain attached to belt loop to avoid pick pocket. We normally stay at old town end so when walking back at night from the strip, try to stick to well light & busy areas. With the Pea men we found they were out in force when the police had a big event on (eg. costa blanca cup youth football) and their attention was on this, but I normally try to spot the pea games look outs and planted players.....I am amazed that people still get taken in with this as it has been around benidorm for years....good informative video..👍
My mate got robbed whilst there a couple of years ago. He did what we always agree on not to do, walk back to the hotel by himself. Three lads, one came from behind and two from the front. He did the right thing and just handed what little money and phone over. We as a group normally stick together and never walk around alone. I might stick a mouse trap in my pocket for a laugh!
thanks for some good tips and common sense advice Ana. I wonder why Spain has recently dropped covid entry requirements for eu travellers but not for uk ( 3rd country) travellers 🤷♂️🤷♂️ hasta luego. 💕🏖🏝👍😁🇪🇸
Thanks Ana for all your info it's getting bag again with robberies. A lot of years up in la marina when outside there was an ATM my husband parked car on other side of road and i crossed to cash machine as I was getting my money i noticed a man and a woman with a baby in a pram as I put my money away the man came on my path and tried to kick my leg from the inside to make me drop my money so he could give to her and she would run loff but he never got me as my husband was watching and was heading to me he did not speak English but he was saying things in aggressive manner we thought Romanian. I suppose it must be the cost of living crisis that's made it worce thanks Ana for your invaluable information to help people I thought the Airlines should announce it to people about the scams thanks again
Hi Ana, could I please ask if you know about the present situation about queues for security through Alicante airport when leaving the country, are they still bad ? many thanks.
Watch out for the young African women wanting to give any middle aged man whose had a bit too much to drink a so called friendly hug! They pick your pocket and run off. It's a sport to them on the front at night. Just keep your wits about you.
Gracias Ana , Mi madre hermana y sobrino estan en Benidorm el 25 seria un -- placer verte ?? tengo algunos negocios en RELLEU ademas de esas vacaciones, y si he visto todos los trucos - que hacen los imbeciles .... Was that ok 4 my Spanish ? take care y again hope to see you bye you a Drink - meal up to yourself , Jamie x
I don't know why Spain says it has little crime. Sorry to tell you this is crime. If you loose your pass port your screwed, loose credit cards screwed again. I you get knocked over you could break a bone or worse yet a concussion. So have a nice trip in Spain where there is such low crime except what she is talking about.
@@BenidormbyAna you took down the stats which showed that the first qurter of 2022 crime has risen. you don;t want the truth to be seen because it doesn;t fit the narrative you are pushing
