A local council in Spain has become so fed up with the raucous behavior of drunk British tourists it has published a list of 64 things which are banned. <\/p>\n
Authorities in the town of Magaluf, a holiday resort on the island of Majorca which is popular with the package holiday market, have published the list after years of outrageous antics left locals furious. <\/p>\n
Oceans of cheap alcohol, scores of sleazy bars, and a plentiful supply of banned drugs have turned this once peaceful place into a haven for young people hell bent on hedonism. Urinating and vomiting in the streets, plus brawling and fighting, have become standard behavior in recent years. <\/p>\n
In 2014 an 18-year-old British girl was filmed performing oral sex on 24 men in two minutes at Magaluf bar to win a $5 cocktail. <\/p>\n
Under the new guidelines, banned activities include walking around topless, having sex in a public place and, bizarrely, climbing trees. <\/p>\n
Fines of up to 3,000 euros will be levied on anyone caught in the act as local businesses say they want Magaluf to be more family friendly to improve its appalling image. <\/p>\n
The rules were drawn up last October and will be imposed for the first time this summer. An increased police presence will help to enforce them. Magaluf is visited by about 1 million Britons a year. <\/p>\n
The 64 rules are: 1 Not arguing or fighting in public places 2 No abusive language 3 Respect others 4 Dont damage street furniture 5 Co-operate with the police or officials 6 Respect tourist facilities 7 Dont cause any interference to public events 8 Dont give false information about your identity 9 Dont carry any sort of prohibited weapon 10 Dont disrespect police officers 11 No shining of laser beams 12 Respect any physical barriers put in place by the police 13 Event organizers to guarantee peoples safety 14 Bar and cafe owners have to ensure good order 15 They mustnt serve anyone already drunk 16 And not to anyone under 18 17 Never serve drink or food to consume on the street 18 Stop customers going out in the street with glasses or bottles 19 Dont damage litter bins, statues, parks, gardens and so on 20 Forbidden to rip off branches from trees 21 Mustnt carve names or initials into the bark 22 Dont climb trees 23 Dont throw litter into the road 24 Mustnt damage flowers in parks 25 Dont cause discomfort to others with skateboards or balls 26 No defecating, urinating or spitting in public places 27 Dont throw down chewing gum, cigarette butts, cans, papers, containers etc 28 Interfere with street lighting 29 Ban on any type of graffiti 30 No scratching surfaces 31 Public event organizers must ensure proper conduct of guests 32 Adhere to safety rules on the beaches 33 Dont swim when red flag flying 34 Or bathe anywhere it is prohibited 35 Wash any sort of item or garment under the beach showers 36 Leave jars, buckets or containers under them 37 Drink directly from the showers 38 Absolutely forbidden to have sexual relations in a public place or anywhere visible from public places 39 No begging 40 No collecting money for sand castles unless structures are approved by council <\/p>\n
