British man orders McDonald's in Benidorm and cost of two meals leaves him floored
No matter where in Europe you go, chances are, you won't be too far away from a McDonald's. It's cheap, cheerful, and if you're a fussy eater in need of some home comforts while you're away, it's the perfect place to nip with pals. But when one Brit in Benidorm ordered two meals from the Spanish Maccies, he was left floored at how much it cost him.
"Could this be the nicest McDonald's in the whole entire world?" Harry, who posts on TikTok as @harrytokky, asked his followers. He showed the view from the Maccies, saying: "You're not gonna get better than this." Unlike your typical Maccies outlets, this one looks out onto the sea.
But he then joked "who cares about the view," saying that he was going to go inside because he was "desperate for a Happy Meal".
Sitting outside, he said: "And just like that, the food has arrived. Now you will not believe how cheap this was. We've got two meals here. Guess how much this costs? €11 (£9.53)".
Harry continued, explaining that there are two fries, two burgers, two drinks, and some chicken nuggets on the side as well.
He gushed: "I mean, €11? What do you think guys? I think that's an absolute bargain, let's be honest. €11? In the UK, that'd probably be at least £20."
In the UK, a large Big Mac meal costs around £7.69, depending on location. Meanwhile, six chicken nuggets cost around £3.49, depending on location.
So Harry is right, it is significantly cheaper in Benidorm. The whole meal would cost roughly £18.87, which is 98% more expensive!
While some people in the comments section moaned that Benidorm McDonald's has "slow" service, others said the wait was well worth it.
One said they'd had the "best Big Mac" ever at the Benidorm Maccies, while another gushed it was the "best view" you'll get under the Golden Arches.
However, the taste may differ. One visitor remarked: "Their chicken nuggets are definitely different from English ones".
People have also taken to TripAdvisor to share their experiences of Benidorm's McDonald's. One said it was a "fantastic" place to get "cheap food on vacation" while in Spain.
Meanwhile, another reviewer wrote: "Visited this McDonald's as we wanted something like home while on holidays, and it was a great experience. I got the McCrispy Burger meal, and we got the bacon & cheese wedges for sharing, and it was all so delicious!
"It came out slightly colder than we would have liked, but we still ate it. The restaurant was clean and the staff were lovely!
"We used the machines as you entered to order our food, and they provided all languages. McFlurry was great as well. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family".

'I look 20 years younger thanks to one simple 20p lifestyle trick'
A woman has shared some of her top secret home remedies to help slash years off her age and keep her looking youthful - and they can all be done for as little as 20p A woman has revealed her secret to looking youthful - and it's not down to having anti-wrinkle injections. TikToker Zareefa has shared some of her home remedies she swears by, and some cost her just 20p. Zareefa, who goes by the name @byzareefa says she's never had Botox or fillers, and instead ops for some natural anti-ageing tricks instead which have been passed down through generations. The 34-year-old wellness influencer boasts nearly 300,000 followers on TikTok, and left them amazed by her stunning transformation. Now she's shared her secrets with her followers on how to take decades off her appearance. Zareefa captioned the post: "POV: you reversed your age using at home remedies". She started off by speaking about a flax seed facemask. The viral mask was nicknamed "Botox at home" by TikTokers who swear by the remedy and Zareefa said: "I took a TikTok face mask and made it 10 times better. "You're literally erasing dark spots and plumping up fine lines. I haven't had any injectables, and I'm 34," she gushed. The simple face mask is just one tablespoon of flaxseed meal and half a cup of boiling water. Mix together and leave for around 30 minutes to an hour until it forms a jelly consistency. The wellness guru then adds a pump of a dead see mud serum to supercharge the mask, targeting hyperpigmentation, texture, and breakouts all at once. After applying and washing off, Zareefa said she's left with "literal glass skin". Zareefa then revealed she swears by eggshell membrane to help reverse ageing too. She insists that the slimy skin stuck to the inside of your boiled eggs is her secret weapon. She believes it helps wiyh plump skin, glossy hair, and strong joints, thanks to its powerful combo of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. "Sometimes I add it to my smoothies, but most of the time I just eat it with the egg," she said. While it may sound strange, there is actual science to back up her claims as studies show the natural supplement can boost skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles in just a few weeks and ancient cultures even used it to heal wounds and regenerate tissue. Finally, the TikToker hailed the use of "banana peel Botox". She claimed the fruit peel can work just like Botox as it's full of lutein, a powerful antioxidant also found in spinach and kale, the peel helps brighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and fade dark spots. What's better, they can cost just 20p. Zareefa recommends rubbing the inside of the peel on your skin and leaving it on for ten minutes before rinsing and said it's a trick her mum used to do every time they had bananas. 'She'd make us eat the banana and use the peel on her face!' She said and told her fans to do it a few times a week and they will notice a "dramatic difference" in hydration, texture and radiance. Calling it a preventative Botox, she added: "you're not going to need any injectables if you're doing this consistently". People were loving her clever tricks, as one fan commented: "one of the best transformations I've seen. you're glowing and absolutely beautiful."

Art and cafe space opening in Mold in memory of Nick Steele
Farahbluck is set to open its doors on Mold's Upper High Street in the coming weeks. It is being opened by Chris Steele - in memory of his brother, Nick. The 32-year-old sadly lost his life while living in Peru - having contracted sepsis, yellow fever and then malaria. Nick Steele pictured with his nieces, Lexi and Willow (Image: Chris Steele) "I flew over there with my sister, we landed in Lima (capital city) but had to get connecting flights from there," Chris said. "We were just about to get on the last connecting flight when I checked my phone and I had loads of messages to say he'd passed away." Nick had gone to a live in a village on the edge of the Amazon River and had been there for several months. "We made a decision to have my brother cremated. It felt right given he'd been the happiest he'd ever been in Peru," Chris said. "We had a ceremony on the main land. We invited the locals to pay their respects. It was an absolute shock when as we waited to start the ceremony three full-to-the-brim buses turned up with the whole village from Padre Cocha (where Nick had been living). "Children, families, workers - it was insane." Nick's funeral in Peru (Image: Chris Steele) In memory of him, Chris is opening the new art, event and cafe space. "The cafe is named Nicky Mango Coffee as Nick's ashes were buried underneath a mango tree," Chris said. "The first floor is a market for artists local and from afar. It will consist of numerous gallery walls and display areas for all types of creations. "The top floor will be a function room with seating areas. A small stage for poets, singers and talks. There's also an open piano for anyone to play during the opening times." (Image: Chris Steele) Chris said he has been "blown away" by the reaction to the new studio. "We've even had artwork sent to us from people in Europe," he said. "A lady from Germany has sent us 15 pieces of her work to go on display. It's amazing." Talking about the name (Farahbluck), Christian said: "Farah means new beginnings and bluck is an old English word for black - which has the mysterious connotations linked to the art side of things." And on the inspiration to open the studio, he said: "After Nick's death I went off the rails. I stopped working as an interior designer and shut myself off. "My family encouraged me to get back to work and I went on a job in Mold where a guy wanted me to paint the inside of the building grey for offices. "I pretty much refused to paint it grey as I knew the building had so much potential. At that point I thought this was a sign sent by Nick and I took on the building - and Farahbluck was born." MORE NEWS: Chris added: "I worked for Wine and Wallop (now called Wallop) in Manchester doing the interior design in the building and beer garden builds. "Justin Parkinson who owns Wallop has helped me massively throughout this whole thing - so a massive thank you to him. And to Ste Chesters, my best mate and he was the one who organised everything going out to Peru and made that all happen. "We wouldn't have been able to do anything without him."

Brits in Spain warned to avoid rowdy behaviour and stick to ten rules
Spanish tourists have been handed a list of 10 strict rules they must follow while visiting Malaga. The new campaign by the local council is aimed at reducing bad behaviour British holidaymakers visiting Malaga are now being confronted with a fresh initiative designed to tackle unruly conduct in the city. The local authority's "Improve your stay in Málaga drive features a comprehensive list of 10 guidelines that travellers are encouraged to follow, in a bid to curb inappropriate behaviour. The guidelines tackle a broad spectrum of problems, ranging from attire standards and hygiene to sound disturbance and the responsible operation of bicycles and e-scooters. Tourists are being urged to remain considerate and behave in a manner that respects peaceful coexistence with residents of the local community. Additional measures highlighted by the council include the 'Keep the City Clean' drive, requesting visitors to utilise the rubbish bins available and the public conveniences scattered throughout the city, whilst also ensuring respect for historic sites, green spaces, and municipal amenities such as park seating. Local authorities have also emphasised the significance of refraining from shouting or blasting music during evening hours in residential neighbourhoods, advising tourists to "do not be conspicuous." Dressing suitably within the city represents another concern mentioned, with the council stating simply "dress completely." This likely refers to avoiding venturing into urban areas shirtless or in swimwear, as such clothing is only acceptable on the beach. A further aspect of the initiative concentrates on transportation, with the message "Sidewalks Are for Pedestrians," highlighting that cycles and scooters must stick to their designated routes. The initiative has received extensive promotion - across social media platforms, on buses and at every essential location throughout the city. Málaga has previously tackled reports of antisocial conduct by ramping up penalties for violations including dropping litter and excessive noise levels. The previous year also witnessed pandemonium surrounding overtourism in the city, with locals marching through the streets in protest against the deluge of visitors. Residents argued they were being forced out of their communities due to short-term holiday rentals, whilst also voicing concerns about disruptive behaviour and certain tourists' conduct. During the peak of the protests, some demonstrators even stuck anti-tourism stickers throughout the area, featuring messages such as "This used to be my home", "go f****** home", "stinking of tourist" and "this used to be the city centre," used. Protests regarding mass tourism and anti-tourism sentiment took place across Spain throughout 2024, with numerous campaigns continuing into 2025. In the opening quarter of 2025, Spain reportedly received 17.1 million overseas visitors. For the complete year of 2024, this number reached a record-shattering 94 million. The nation remains particularly beloved by Brits, who descend upon the country seeking a sunny getaway.
