Brits abroad in the European Union holiday hotspot have been urged to take care and look out for a scam sweeping the Spanish res (Image: BirminghamLive) UK holidaymakers in Benidorm have been issued an urgent warning to "watch out" for a prevalent holiday scam . British tourists frequenting the popular European Union resort are being advised to be vigilant of a scam that's currently making waves across the Spanish hotspot , a favourite among many UK travellers. Local police in Benidorm are cautioning beachgoers against purchasing drinks and ice creams from unauthorised vendors.
These so-called lateros and cuberos are a common sight on Poniente and Levante beaches during the peak summer season, appearing early in the morning. Despite police efforts to remove these vendors, new ones seem to emerge as soon as others are cleared away. Authorities warn that customers may not realise the potential dangers of some of these beverages, with one example being an on-the-spot mixed mojito offered as a quick refreshment for sunbathers.
Posters bearing the phrase "thirst or not, that is not the question" have been put up. Local law enforcement stresses the importance of safety when buying food or drink from unregulated sellers due to potential health standard violations. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
