Alcohol rules for Europa League final in Seville after Spain's recent crackdown

Some Rangers fans may be wondering what the drinking rules are in Spain as they travel to Seville to watch the Europa League final.

Thousands of football fans will travel to the Spanish city this week, with many likely to enjoy a drink or soak up the atmosphere in a pub.

However, Spain has recently cracked down on the consumption of alcohol in specific tourist areas - including limiting holidaymakers to just six drinks a day in all-inclusive hotels.

Fans may be wondering if these recent drinking limits that have been implemented in parts of Spain will also apply to Seville.

Here is all that you need to know about Seville's drinking rules for the Europa League final.

In Spain, there are some restrictions on drinking in public spaces, including to Andalusia where the city is located, according to the Andalusia Tourist Community.

In some cases drinking and sexual activity in public places could result in on-the-spot fines, the Home Office warns.

Is there a drinking limit?

Fans may have seen an announcement of a daily six-drink cap for all-inclusive stays, however these rules will not apply to Seville.

These rules which aim to 'limits on the sale and availability of alcohol' are only in place in Balearic Islands.

Could I receive a fine for drinking?

On the Foreign Office website, it states that some local councils in Spain have banned the consumption of alcohol in the street and on-the-spot fines may be issued.

However, Rangers fans will be welcome in bars and restaurants, says the city's mayor.

Fans could receive fines as high as £85,000 in Seville for attending illegal parties on the back of similar rules that have been put in place to stomp out illegal raves in Ibiza and Majorca.

The fines could be extended to landlords who allow the illegal parties to take place in their property.

Rangers fans have also been provided with a fan zone inside La Cartuja Stadium, where up to 60,000 ticketless fans will be able watch the match live.

Can I drink on the plane?

You can drink on the plane to Seville with most airlines, however you will only be able to drink the alcohol that is sold on the flight.

Most airlines will let you bring duty-free alcohol to Spain, but it cannot be consumed on the plane.

For some fans, there may not be time for drinking. The direct Barrhead Travel flight which has been chartered for Rangers fans leaves Glasgow on the day of the finals at 6am and returns on the following day at 4am - allowing fans just enough time to watch the historic game.
