Spain's warning to British holidaymakers as cops get ready for major crackdown

Spanish police are set to crackdown on anti-social behaviour in a popular city holiday destination as summer approaches.

Palma Local Police’s summer security measures will begin next week to improve the safety of tourists and residents and to tackle antisocial behaviour.

The operation will begin next Monday and will run until October 15. It comes as many Spanish tourist spots have been cracking down on boozy Brits and tourists, reports Majorca Daily Bulletin.

A campaign has also been launched to combat excessive tourism, aimed at reminding shopkeepers in key areas of the current regulations of the Law on Excesses in relation to the sale of alcoholic beverages, which includes penalties of up to 600,000 Euros for the most serious cases.

The council said some of the main problems being illegal massages, street vending, street drinking and pub crawls and noise pollution.

The penalties range from 100 euros for minor infractions to 3,000 Euros for serious ones.

It comes as other British holidaymakers to Majorca and Ibiza face limits on how much they can drink due to a crackdown on drunken behaviour.

Many holidaymakers choose to book all-inclusive so they can day drink and continue their shenanigans into the night at party destinations.

But now, Brits 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 Brits who were expecting to drink by the pool.
