"

The beginning of the shooting of this tenth season coincides practically with the premiere of the novena, that began to emit the past Wednesday in the ITV chain. As on previous occasions, the premiere was the most watched show of the day, with a 23.5% audience.

The mayor, Toni Pérez, has influenced "the promotion of the series for Benidorm in our main tourist market" and "the economic impact that shooting is for the city and for the region, which amounts to about 2 million of euros". In addition, he said that the set of taxiing in the street "with the presence of cameras, lights, actors and figuration will once again be an added attraction for neighbors and visitors."
