A Brit living in Benidorm has shared the three things that shocked him the most when moving to the party city – including spending less money in a week than he would in his hometown of Brighton.
Harry Poulton regularly shares his travel tips and advice about the Spanish destination with his 47,900 followers on TikTok (@harrytokky ).

“It’s absolutely unreal.
