The sale of alcohol has been restricted in the Balearic Islands in Spain, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) announced today. In certain areas in the resorts of San Antonio, Magaluf and Playa de Palma, prohibitions have been placed on a number of party events and activities.
In these designated areas of the resorts, happy hours, open bars, buying alcohol from vending machines, self-service alcohol dispensers and organised pub crawls and party boat trips will all be subject to prohibitions.
The new law also bans off-licence sales between the hours of 9.30pm and 8am. The legislation was introduced by Spain's Regional Government in the Baleariac Islands, covering the designated areas in the resorts of Magaluf (Calvià) and Playa de Palma on the island of Mallorca, and San Antonio (San Antoni de Portmany) on the island of Ibiza.
