Brit living in Benidorm says Spanish town 'isn't safe for children'

A British resident named Harry Poulton in Benidorm has expressed concerns about the safety of the town for children, citing incidents he observed involving inappropriate behavior by some residents. He claims that during peak summer months, when many UK families visit, the town has become less suitable for children due to such behaviors. Harry describes witnessing a woman urinating on the street and a man dressed in minimal clothing in public, which he believes makes the area unsuitable for families. While acknowledging parts of Benidorm, such as the Old Town, aqua park, and zoo, as family-friendly, he argues that certain areas, particularly the New Town, are not appropriate for children. His comments have sparked discussion about the changing nature of the tourist destination.
