A Brit living in Benidorm has revealed the one tourist habit that makes him feel “embarrassed” to be there.

And Harry Poulton is issuing a warning for people to stop once and for all, reports Whats The Jam.

The 25-year-old, who regularly shares his travel tips and advice about the Spanish party destination, says he finds it “sad and disrespectful”.

In a clip, which has racked up 23,000 views and over 500 likes, he explains.

“It’s something I find very embarrassing as a British person living in Spain – specifically Benidorm,” the content creator begins.

“I’ve seen it all; from people running down the strip half-naked, [to] drunk people on the beach – you name it.

“But there’s a line that should not be crossed.”

Harry, who hails from Brighton, says that people need to be mindful that they’re in a foreign country – and that us Brits are guests.

He said: “Even though I have the right to live here, it doesn’t make it my country.

“But what I saw is completely bang out of order.

“A group of lads walking back from the strip – presumably a little bit drunk – and there were two quite elderly Spanish women.

“And these guys decided to be quite rude, disrespectful and shouted in their direction quite vulgar [things].

“I understand you’re on holiday and want to have a good time, but why take it out and step too far?

“The Spanish locals don’t deserve it.”

Harry notes that people wouldn’t do this back in the UK and says those visiting should have a good time, while still being respectful.

He adds that a lot of the locals “don’t want us here” and urges tourists not to make that worse.

He said: “Let’s not bring that kind of attention to Benidorm – it’s not necessary.

“Leave the Spanish alone.”

Harry, who boasts over 63,000 followers, moved to the holiday hotspot aged just 18 after visiting on a lad’s holiday.

He favours the country over “gloomy” England – especially for its wallet-friendly prices.
