Tourists could face fines of up to €3,000 if they break new rules on drinking that have come into force in parts of Mallorca and Ibiza popular with British holidaymakers.
Tourists in parts of Mallorca and Ibiza will face hefty fines for drinking alcohol on the streets as part of a crackdown in areas of 'excessive tourism'. The government of Spain's Balearic Islands has toughened laws that were first introduced in 2020. As well as banning drinking on public roads, the rules stop shops from selling alcohol late at night and put tighter controls on party boats. Any tourists found breaking these rules could face a fine of up to €3,000.
What are the penalties for tourists who break the rules? People could be fined between €750 and €1,500 if their public drinking 'disrupts coexistence, involves crowds or deteriorates the tranquillity of the environment'. If the offence is considered very serious, the fine could range from €1,500 to €3,000 . Local authorities will report the number of foreign tourists who have been sanctioned to the respective embassies.
