Spain: British tourist incurs ‘extra costs’ on Majorca holiday over new ‘six drink’ rule | Travel News | Travel

“In this case the hotel details specify – Selection of Spanish and international non-alcoholic drinks. Three alcoholic drinks per person (beer and wine) during lunch and dinner.

“We would always urge customers to read the details of their hotel to ensure they are happy with their purchase.”

The new rules were first introduced in January 2020, however, it seems British holidaymakers are only coming face-to-face with the rules now as they arrive on the islands for their spring holidays.

There are also bans on happy hours, alcohol vending machines, free bars, pub crawls, two-for-one drinks and the advertisement of party boats.

Shops are also not allowed to sell alcohol between the hours of 9.30pm and 8am.

Balearic Islands Tourism minister Iago Negueruela previously said: “We want British tourists – we don’t want this type of tourism.

“British tourism is essential for our islands. We share with the British government the view that some images of British tourists are embarrassing.
