Tourists in Portugal face the possibility of being fined £30,000 if they listen to music through portable speakers on beaches.
Portugal’s National Maritime Authority (ANM) has banned the use of portable speakers if they're turned up to a volume which annoys other holidaymakers. The smallest fine is £170, but repeat offenders can be stung with a bill for £3,400. For groups the fines can reach a massive £30,953.
Local and other tourists who are being bothered by loud noise from portable speakers are able to contact the local Maritime Police force responsible for the beach they're on, MirrorOnline reports.
