Barcelona has enacted a two-year ban on pub crawls in the Eixample district, effective June 1. This decision follows a previous ban in the Ciutat Vella area that has been in place since 2012. City officials emphasize the necessity of this measure to protect community harmony, citing noise disturbances and irresponsible alcohol consumption as significant concerns. The council has issued numerous fines in recent years, demonstrating their commitment to enforcing stricter regulations on alcohol-related activities. A public consultation period allows locals to provide input before the ban is finalized.
From June 1, Barcelona's Eixample district enforces a ban on pub crawls for two years, aiming to protect community harmony and curb alcohol-related disturbances.
City officials justify the ban, asserting that late-night drinking tours disrupt residents' peace and pose risks associated with irresponsible alcohol consumption among tourists.
The public consultation period allows residents to voice objections before the ban's final implementation, following similar bans in the old town aimed at preserving local quality of life.
In 2023 and 2024 alone, Barcelona City Council issued 366 fines concerning the sale and consumption of alcohol, indicating a strict enforcement of drinking regulations.
