The new law, which affects some hotels in the Balearic Islands, means that holidaymakers are forced to pay extra if they want more than three free alcoholic drinks per meal.
Meanwhile, Spanish officials have sparked outrage by enforcing a 'six drinks a day' rule for all-inclusive holidays and in resorts on islands including Ibiza and Majorca. Ibiza's opening parties, including Pacha, O Beach and Defected Ibiza, normally kick-off at the start of May, with the season lasting until September. The Spanish Mediterranean island, summer outpost for major European nightclubs, is preparing for the first summer season since the Covid-19 pandemic forced the island to close down. The British tourists soaked up the sun on beaches, danced the night away in nightclubs and indulged in the odd glass of sangria. Thousands of delighted Britons have now arrived in sunny Ibiza to escape the 'mixed bag of spring weather' in the UK for the May Bank Holiday.
