Overview

• Bars and restaurants in two Acoustically Saturated Zones must close by 12:30 am on weekdays and 1 am on Fridays, Saturdays and holiday eves, while nightclubs face 1 am closures on weekdays and 3 am at weekends.
• Outdoor terraces will be reduced by half with patrons required to vacate tables 30 minutes before closing and new licence applications for bars and clubs have been halted.
• Local police are patrolling the Old Town and Calle Castaños to enforce curfew rules and disperse revellers who stay out late.
• British holidaymakers have threatened to cancel trips in response to the restrictions, risking losses for businesses that welcomed nearly 5 million visitors last year.
• The measure follows a surge in anti-tourism protests across Spain and highlights rising friction between residents and visitors in major destinations.
