The region’s government has updated a law passed in 2020 designed to promote “responsible tourism and the improvement of the quality of tourist areas”.
People caught drinking alcohol in public in specific zones – including “small pockets” of Playa de Palma, the West End of Sant Antonio in Ibiza, Calvia (Magaluf) and S’Arenal (Llucmajor) – will now be fined. Penalties will range from €500 (£430) to €1,500 (£1,300).
This law change, which came into force on Saturday (11 May), does not apply to bars and terraces or legally enabled zones.
