Brits in search of a boozy holiday in Spain this summer have been reminded of new laws following a crackdown on alcohol.
The new rules were introduced in 2020 throughout the Balearic Islands which include Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca and carry fines of up to £50,000.
But many partygoers are yet to return to the Spanish islands since the new rules were introduced during the pandemic.
As travel restrictions ease, the UK government and travel agents have updated their advice for tourists with many expected to jet back to the sunny region.
Spanish officials have also restated the new measures which aim to reduce antisocial behaviour and reduce "binge tourism" on the islands.
The rules ban happy hours, pub crawls and two-for-one drink offers plus the sale of alcohol in shops between 9.30pm and 8am.
Guests at all-inclusive hotels in Magaluf, Playa de Palma and Sant Antoni are limited to just six drinks per day.
Hefty fines of up to £50,000 can be handed to anyone advertising party boats or caught jumping between balconies in hotel resorts in a trend known as 'balconing.'
Tour operators including EasyJet Holidays have published information on their websites about the restrictions.
An EasyJet spokesperson said: "Due to a change in Spanish law which affects certain resorts in the Balearic Islands, alcoholic drinks are now limited to three per person at lunch and dinner as part of the all-inclusive basis."
Tourism Minister Iago Negueruela and the UK's Ambassador to Spain Hugh Elliott are working together in their efforts to raise awareness.
Campaigns are under way to inform the British market about the current rules on excessive tourism and the range of sanctions.
Mr Negueruela said last year that the islands would opt for "quality over quantity" when it comes to tourists.
New rules were also introduced from February 1 for people travelling to Spain which now only allow fully vaccinated Brits to freely enter the country.
It means unvaccinated travellers who have a negative Covid test or proof of recovery will not be able to holiday in Spain.
Many UK children aged between 12 and 17 are yet to be fully vaccinated against the virus meaning the new rules will scupper half term holiday plans for families.
