When did you move to the Costa Blanca ?
April 2005, but have been visiting the area since I was a kid.
Where are you from originally ?
Brought up in Leamington Spa (the Midlands).
Where do you live ?
Playa de San Juan, between Alicante and Benidorm.
What do you like about living in there ?
Sun, sea, sand, siestas and fiestas !!! ….you get the picture !
What do you like doing when not Senor-Staging ?
Traveling, water sports and being creative.
Favourite place to visit in Benidorm ?
A pool or the beach when it´s hot, or climbing in the surrounding mountains when the weather is a bit cooler.
Favourite bar in Benidorm ?
“El Bodegon Aurrera” a lively traditional bar in Benidorm’s Old Town. Plenty of ice cold beer with a great choice of spanish tapas, especially the seafood ones…..Mmmmm !!
Favourite restaurant in Benidorm ?
Quite tricky but I think I’d have to say the “Spice of Life Indian Restaurant”, because they do a mean curry and it´s the restaurant I go to most frequently.
What Senor Stag activity do you enjoy guiding most ?
Cruising around on a cool boat in the sun to go scuba diving or fishing.
The best fancy dress you’ve seen a stag wear ?
A big ‘Fat Elvis’ costume ! Brave bloke ! It can get pretty hot here, even without your mates making you wear a huge, heavily padded, glittery white flared suit and wig !!
If you had a stag weekend in Benidorm, what would you do ?
Arrive Friday and make the most of everyone’s sober state by going Karting or the Quadbiking. Tapas in the evening and a bar crawl ending up at the lively clubs on Benidorms Levante beach. Saturday, water sports or the aquapark to wake everyone up. In the evening a Senor Stag fiesta followed by more bars and a big banging club (Pacha, Hacienda, KM, Penelope’s etc…) Sunday would have to be a chill out day! Perhaps a visit to a spa, or just relaxing on the beach, before flying off home in the evening.
Most amusing story about a Senor Stag group in Benidorm ?
Skinny dipping is a popular drunken pastime in the early hours of the morning ! But a good tip is to be sure you´re not the last one out of the water ! One unlucky stag suffered the humiliation of having to remember his way back to his hotel, through the maze like streets of the old town, when his ‘mates’ had ran off with his clothes !!!
Any advice for making the most of your stag weekend in Benidorm ?
Good activities will make the weekend even more enjoyable and give you some interesting photos to take home. A siesta is always a good move to recharge the batteries. So chill out there’s no rush for last orders here ! There are places to celebrate until after sunrise !!
