Spain issues new law that all travellers need to be aware of this Easter holiday

Spain have passed a new law that affects all travellers and locals.

One of the best parts of being on holiday is the food and Spain is abundant is cafes, restaurants and bars for British holidaymakers to soak up the culture.

Now a new law has passed that will allow the bill for dinner to be slightly cheaper in Spain.

Since April 11, all bars and restaurants in the holiday hotspot are required by law to offer free tap water as an alternative to bottled water - that customers would have to pay for.

This comes as the country is encouraging people to reduce the consumption of plastics, especially plastic bottles, as stated in the new regulations in the Law on Waste and Contaminated Soil for a Circular Economy.

It states: "Establishments in the hotel and restaurant sector will always have to offer consumers, customers or users of their services the possibility of consuming unpackaged water free of charge and complementary to the offer of the same establishment."

Up until now, businesses could choose whether they want to offer tap water and could decide whether to charge for it or not.

Water fountains are also being encouraged to be installed so that visitors and locals can refill their reusable bottles throughout the day.
