One factor is becoming increasingly important as many Brits are looking for destinations to check out both budget-friendly boxes already soaked in the sun. That's the price of a pint. If you're looking for the ultimate beach vacation that won't break your bank, there's one place on the map, just as cheap as beer is refreshing.

With searches for “Alicante Holiday” rising 70% in the UK, this coastal gem is rapidly becoming a destination for budget-sensitive British destinations in search of affordable summer holidays.
