Recomendaciones a los jóvenes turistas británicos.

  En el informe de ABTA para el año 2013, se hacen una serie de recomendaciones para los turistas ingleses cuando viajan a España, ahora que empieza la temporada y por si os puede ser útil en vuestros hoteles, os lo copio aquí.

• Last year there were a number of incidents involving British visitors which resulted in hospitalisations, deaths and arrests, many involving young people under the influence of alcohol. A Foreign Office / ABTA balcony safety campaign has aimed to deter young people from indulging in risky behaviour, following a high number of falls and three deaths in Spanish resorts during 2012

• Spanish authorities take a zero-tolerance approach to alcohol, drug-related and domestic violence incidents. Any situations that do occur under the influence of drink or drugs might render your travel insurance policy void, which could leave you facing thousands of pounds of medical and other bills

• It is important to find out about local laws and customs because Spain’s legal system differs from that of the UK. For example, in Barcelona it is illegal to wear only a bikini or swimming trunks in the street. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, you will be tried under the Spanish system. Although Consular staff can help you find an English-speaking lawyer, they cannot get you out of prison
