Spanish police are cracking down on anti-social behaviour in a move which could see tourists fined up to €3,000.
Brits holidaying in the city of Palma on the island of Majorca will have to abide by new summer security measures from next week. Palma Local Police is attempting to tackle antisocial behaviour in a bid to improve the safety of tourists and residents.
The operation will begin next Monday (May 1) and will run until October 15. It comes as many Spanish tourist spots have been cracking down on boozy Brits and tourists, reports Majorca Daily Bulletin. A campaign has also been launched to combat excessive tourism, aimed at reminding shopkeepers in key areas of the current regulations of the Law on Excesses in relation to the sale of alcoholic beverages.

It includes penalties of up to €600,000 for the most serious cases, reports BirminghamLive. The council said some of the main problems are illegal massages, street vending, street drinking and pub crawls and noise pollution.
Fines range from 100 euros for minor infractions to 3,000 euros for serious ones.
Many holidaymakers choose to book all-inclusive so they can day drink and continue their shenanigans into the night at party destinations. But now, Brits will be restricted to just six drinks a day, which can only be accessed alongside their lunch and dinner - offering them three drinks per meal.
The rule has been enforced in Magaluf, Majorca, and some areas of Ibiza, causing upset to Brits who were expecting to drink by the pool.
