A British tourist was left gobsmacked after discovering a pint of beer in Benidorm that cost less than a cup of tea. Graham White, known online as Benidorm Grumet, shared his incredible find on TikTok, where he has nearly 60,000 followers.
Pint for 83p
At a bar in the popular Spanish resort, Graham was quoted a price of just one euro (approximately 83p) for a pint of Estrella. In contrast, a cup of tea at the same establishment cost two euros (£1.66), more than double the price of the beer. Graham described the bar as the "cheapest in Benidorm" and expressed astonishment at the disparity.
Viral Reaction
The video, which shows Graham asking the barmaid about the price and then enjoying his cheap pint, quickly went viral. Some viewers initially accused him of lying, but Graham defended his claim by visiting the bar and proving the price. Comments flooded in, with one user joking, "Why would you bother with anything else?" Another noted that Benidorm is "cheap as chips" compared to other destinations.
One recent visitor added, "Went here yesterday, the food is ace as well," while others called it a "bargain of the day" and recommended stocking up on pints.
Comparison to UK Prices
According to Finder.com, the average price of a pint in London is £6.50, while the national average is £5.44. This means that British tourists in Benidorm can enjoy a pint for a fraction of the cost back home. The discovery has reinforced Benidorm's reputation as a budget-friendly destination for those seeking a lively holiday without breaking the bank.
Graham's video serves as a reminder that sometimes the best bargains are found in unexpected places, and that a pint in Benidorm might just be the steal of the day.
