British travellers heading to Spanish islands have been warned over huge fines if they attend "illegal parties".
The British Embassy in Spain issued a warning to travellers going to the islands due to serious accidents that have taken place. Fines of up up to 30,000 euros are being handed out to those who attend the parties, which are not allowed but are common across islands such as Majorca and Ibiza.
A spokesperson told Birmingham Live : "There have been a number of serious accidents involving people attending irregular commercially promoted parties in villas and private homes on the islands of Ibiza and Majorca. Licensed clubs and bars are required to meet safety and security standards, including emergency exits and capacity limits, and to have trained, licensed security staff. Irregular commercial parties may not meet these standards. "
