UK holidaymakers face alcohol price hike if travelling to Spain

UK holiday-goers could be faced with a rise in alcohol prices if they travel to Spain.

As of April 11, all bars and restaurants across the country are legally required to offer free tap water as an alternative to bottled water, which customers must pay for.
