I have filmed in many UK seaside towns that have seen better days. Brits used to flock to their native seaside for holidays but since the advent of cheap foreign package holidays the great British seaside has suffered much decline. When I visit the British seaside and ask why the resorts are so in decline, locals often mention cheap package holidays as a major cause. Since the 1960's destinations overseas have offered warmer, sunnier weather and cheap food and drink to holidaying Brits. The dreary expensive British coastal towns struggle to compete. When I ask people what place they think of when I say 'Brits Abroad' they often say Benidorm, perhaps the original package holiday destination in Spain. It is a megadeveloped high rise resort on the Costa Blanca. It has attained a rather negative stereotype over the years as a tacky, inauthentic tourist trap full of British bars that cater to loutish and yobby British tourists. I came to investigate for myself: Is Benidorm still a tacky exclave for unruly Brits or has it diversified and does it offer much more?
