The organisation of pub crawls and party boats are prohibited.

Brits travelling to the Balearic Islands this summer are being reminded to follow the new rules and to avoid attending any ‘illegal’ parties or risk facing fines.

Birmingham Live reports that a spokesperson for the British Embassy in Spain said: ‘There have been a number of serious accidents involving people attending irregular commercially promoted parties in villas and private homes on the islands of Ibiza and Majorca.

‘Licensed clubs and bars are required to meet safety and security standards, including emergency exits and capacity limits, and to have trained, licensed security staff. Irregular commercial parties may not meet these standards.

‘You should take care of your belongings, ensure you know where emergency exits are located and not take unnecessary risks. Heavy fines may be imposed by local authorities to anyone attending irregular commercial parties.’

Police have the powers to hand out fines of up to €300,000 for organisers, while attendees could also be fined between 300 euros and 30,000 euros.
