However, options to do this are restricted this year in some Spanish cities as there have been police warnings against such activities.
Police in Spain are cracking down on stag and hen parties in the Costa del Sol with some police forces even taking on more officers to cope with overseas partygoers.
Extra police are being brought into Malaga to help crack down on stag and hen parties in the city on Spain’s Costa del Sol. The increase of police officers is expected to rise from 15 to 45 officers.
Councillor of security Avelino Barrionuevo said that these measures were necessary because of the abundance of parties.
Barrionuevo said that the police have the power to fine people who sing, shout or play radios or other musical instruments at high volumes up to €300,000.
Therefore if you do head to Malaga before your wedding day, you may want to be wary and monitor your noise levels to avoid any hefty fines. Flats in some areas of Malaga also have to adhere to having sound monitors so they can give evidence of noise-related law-breaking.
Stag and hen parties bring a significant amount of money to the tourist industry. However, the measures have been brought in to combat the excessive noise and antisocial behaviour these events also subject the local people to.
