With summer just around the corner, Spanish cops are set to launch a crackdown on anti-social behaviour across a popular tourist destination.
Palma will see security measures stepped up from next week as police look to improve the safety for both tourists and residents by tackling anti-social behaviour in the city. Beginning on Monday, the operation will run throughout the summer until October 15.
It comes as many popular holiday spots across Spain crackdown on boozy British tourists, reports Majorca Daily Bulletin, with an additional campaign launched to combat excessive tourism across the country.
The campaign sees shopkeepers reminded of key areas of the Law on Excess in relation to alcohol sales, with penalties of up to €600,000 possible for serious breaches.
Some of the main problems being tackled include illegal massages, street vending, street drinking and pub crawls and noise pollution, according to the council, with personal penalties ranging from €100 to €3,000, reports Birmingham Live.
Tourists travelling from Scotland to places such as Majorca and Ibiza will also face limits on how much they can drink, with all inclusive holidaymakers also restricted to six drinks per day in some areas. These rules also mean that drinks will only be offered at meal times with three at lunch and three at dinner.
