Party-goers and bars in three of Spain's top tourist hotspots could face fines of up to £510,000 after authorities introduced new laws to crack down on binge-drinking.
The Balearic Islands' officials say it is the first law of its kind in Europe and will outlaw organising and promoting pub crawls and open bars and happy hours. Holidaymakers will also be banned from jumping from hotel balconies into swimming pools - popularly known as"balconing".The legislation is aimed at improving the quality of tourism on the islands
Those caught taking part will be kicked out of their hotel and face large fines expected to range from €6,000 to €600,000 .The measures will apply to a long stretch of Mallorca's capital, from Palma Beach to the S'Arenal area, as well as Magaluf and the West End area of Ibiza.
