As you say,Bit of a dilemma , but what we tend to do is leave things like jewelry ,passports & some cash in the camper & carry a small amount of money on us for the days outing . Less likely to have the van broken into.

We aint got any jewellery ,,,a cheap Casio watch and the better half wears £3 earings,,,Cash and cards next to the skin,,,BUSBY,,,

Make you right, It's about using common sense & keeping your wits about you. I Almost had my wallet picked in torreveja 2 ýears ago so lesson learnt.This will be our first trip ever to be beni & we are really looking forward to it,dispite any little shites who might want to try their luck.:D

Two years ago my purse was taken from my bag while I was shopping for vegetables at the market in Benidorm. I have to admit I am still a little bemused by the incident. In fact I feel a touch of admiration for the three old ladies working as team who manoeuvred me into a corner when my hands were full of green beans.
It was very hot and I felt suffocated. If it had been young people I would have pushed past them, little old ladies that came up to my shoulder, well! we are bought up to respect our elders aren't we. I was sixty , they looked my mommies age. (Never grow up do we).
The ladies kissed each other on the cheek and eventually moved. I staggered a few footsteps looked at my bag, (cross body bag, two zips to get to my purse). Enlightenment! they were very good and disappeared into the crowd very quickly.
I actually never put cash into my purse , had to get Malcolm to phone and put stop on cards, didn't actually lose anything but gained a fear of old ladies with shopping trolleys . That bit's a joke . Be aware.
I love Benidorm, I call it my second Home Town.
Birmingham by the sea.
