Spain's Balearic Islands are expanding curbs on street drinking and further restricting party boats in a bid to crack down on alcohol-fuelled holidays in tourist areas.
The government says the toughening of a law passed in 2020 will apply to popular hotspots including Playa de Palma and Magaluf in Majorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza.
People caught drinking outside of authorised areas will be fined between €500-1,500 (£430-1290).
Under the new law, coming into force on Saturday, the number of sanctions taken against foreigners will be counted and submitted to the respective embassies.
The legislation introduces tougher rules against party boats, which will be banned from getting closer than one nautical mile (1.852 km) of the designated areas. Picking up or disembarking passengers will continue to be banned.
