The Spanish Ministry del Interior added: "Foreigners from third countries must prove if required to do so by the officials in charge of controlling the entry of people into Spanish territory, that they have economic resources for entering the country, through cash, travellers' cheques, payment letters, or credit cards, which must also be proven to have sufficient funds available on them.
The Balearic Islands are going after clubbers who attend 'unlicensed events', as well as those who run them in a bid to crack down on increasingly rowdy shindigs on the Spanish island chain. Police in Ibiza and Majorca have been given powers to shut parties down and they are able to issue fines at the end of the night.
Brits planning to hit party boats in Majorca this summer should take heed of a new warning issued by authorities, who have said that the police could be called in to break up parties on boats if too much chaos and noise is caused. Smoking Last year smoking was been banned on all of Barcelona's beaches and those breaking the rules have been warned they face fines.
