Barcelona has enforced new rules for tourists as Spain pledges to crackdown on 'tourism of excess'.
Spain has already seen a 12 per cent increase in bookings in comparison to 2019 but as the region Catalonia experiences a surge in tourists, Spanish officials have said they want to control bad behaviour that is seen from a number of British visitors. The country wants to move away from their reputation as a top party destination and a new decree was passed on Thursday which could sanction guided tours in Barcelona.
Those who do not follow the new rules could face fines around €1,500 to €3,000. The law is expected to come into effect around July 23.
