MALLORCA TODAY - Action against the botellón in Palma

Palma town hall has today introduced by-laws to try and curb street-drinking parties. The "botellón" has long been an issue of concern on account of noise and mess as well as under-age drinking. The town hall's order will expressly prohibit the drinking of alcohol in the streets by minors and will also seek to place parts of the city off-limits to gatherings for such parties.
