A British expat living in Benidorm has issued a warning to tourists heading to the Spanish resort this June: pack sun cream in your suitcase or face extortionate prices. Harry Poulton, who shares travel tips on TikTok, urged his 65,000 followers to avoid buying sun cream locally due to high costs.
In a video, Poulton said: 'You don't want to end up paying the extortionate prices here in Benidorm and plus, it's absolutely roasting.' He admitted to forgetting sun cream himself, resulting in sunburn, and advised others not to make the same mistake.
Benidorm enjoys around 300 days of sunshine annually, with June temperatures ranging between 27C and 29C, according to BBC Weather. July and August are hotter, with August highs reaching 34C and sea temperatures around 26C.
Poulton's warning comes as many Brits plan summer holidays. He emphasised that the Mediterranean sun is stronger and lasts longer than in the UK, making sun cream essential to avoid turning 'like a lobster'.
