Reason #14 Chinese Tack Shops


If you have been to Benidorm you will know exactly what I mean, if not, then here you are: Benidom is full of shops rung by Chinese which all sell exactly the same items.

These range from cheaply made toys and cheaply made cloths to cheaply made tacky souvenirs.  The consistent factor here is that everything Is cheap.



You literally cannot walk a few meters down any street without walking past one of there, you will know when you do as one the the cheaply made toys will start singing or dancing at you.

They are great though for the sheer amount of tack you can find here. if you want it, they have it. and if you don’t, they will have it anyway. My Little boy loves these and we cant go a day without buying at least one toy and almost always without fail they will break really early and really easily.  This is now part of our holiday tradition. They also seems to stock a large selection of binoculars and I still cant fathom why.

So, next time your out and about in Benidorm pop into one and pick up some tack today!

  1. You don't understand why binoculars are so popular? You've obviously never been staying at a hotel on the sea front, have you, lol?

    According to a friend, ahem, sitting on the balcony with a pair of binoculars spying the talent on the beach is a good way to spend half an hour or so.
