Police in Spain are preparing to crackdown on anti-social and disorderly behaviour in the popular holiday hotspot, as the summer approaches.
Palma Local Police have released some summer security measures that are set to come into place next week, reports Birmingham Live. These rules will improve the safety of Edinburgh tourists, and various other travellers from the UK.
The crackdown operation will begin on Monday, May 1, and is set to run until October 15 to curb anti-social behaviour.

This news comes as plenty of Spanish tourist hotspots begin to get stricter with boozy British tourists, reports Majorca Daily Bulletin.
A new campaign has been launched to combat over-excessive tourism, and is aimed at telling shopkeepers in populated areas of the country to keep in touch with the current regulations of the Law on Excesses in relation to the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Failure to do so can result in penalties of up to 600,000 Euros for the most serious cases.
The local council have said that the main problems for this behaviour include the likes of street vending, illegal massages, street drinking, as well as pub crawls and noise pollution.
The fines range from 100 Euros for minor issues, to a whopping 3,000 Euro charge for the more serious offences.
This news comes as other holidaymakers travelling to Ibiza and Majorca will face limits on their drinking allowance, due to a hit on drunken behaviour.
A lot of party-seekers tend to choose all-inclusive holidays so they can drink as much as they want. But now, tourists will be restricted to just six drinks a day, which can only be accessed alongside their lunch and dinner - offering them three drinks per meal.
The rule has been enforced in Magaluf, Majorca, and some areas of Ibiza, causing upset to those who were planning to spend their holidays drinking by the pool.
