Brits travelling to a number of Spanish resorts this summer should make sure they're aware of a recent rule.
Many tourists flock to islands such as Ibiza and Mallorca to soak up some sun on their sandy beaches. And with covid restrictions finally easing, many of us are keen for some much-needed down time.
However, a new law will impact those staying at certain all inclusive resorts, as well as those wishing to purchase alcohol from shops. Party boat trips and happy hours have also been affected.

Thomas Cook is just one travel agent that has warned holidaymakers over rules that will crackdown on their alcohol consumption. In an email the tour operator sent to customers, it said: "Please be advised that a decree has been issued by the Balearic Government on a new restriction for All-Inclusive meal options.
"There is a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per person per day that can be served and these drinks will be provided only during lunch and dinner (three each). Please be aware that Magaluf, El Arenal, Playa de Palma in Mallorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza, there is a new restriction on All Inclusive."
The law came in during 2020, to limit extreme drunken behaviour that affects residents. The Balearic government has also banned happy hours, pub crawls and two-for-one drink offers.
Alcohol cannot be sold in shops between 9.30pm and 8am, and advertising party boats in certain areas is also forbidden.
