What are Spain's laws on unaccompanied teenagers?

Spain has strict laws and rules around young people who have travelled to the country and it's important you know what they are if you are on holiday with your family.

Anyone under the age of 18 is determined to be a minor under Spanish law. If you are under the age of 18 and travelling in Spain, then it is best to be accompanied by an adult at all times, especially in public.

These local laws and customs come alongside strict rules on bringing food and drink into the country, providing ID when requested by a police officer, arrests and detentions resulting from possession of drugs and alcohol, and bans on wearing bikinis in the streets and going bare-chested. Families planning on heading to the sunny destination should be aware of the local laws in case of fines and heavier consequences.
