You may have been shocked to find out about the new £97 a day rule that has been implemented in Spain, which could have thrown a spanner into your summer plans.
And that's not the only thing you need to watch out for if you're heading to one much-loved tourism hotspot in the country.
What is the £97 a day rule?
The new money law in Spain states that Brits must be ready to show proof that they have €113.40 (£97) per day - and if you're in a group, per person - throughout their stay in the country.

News of the law has not gone down favourable among several people, as some have threatened not to visit the country again.
The law has actually been in place since the beginning of 2022, but it seems like it is under more scrutiny now we're well and truly out of the pandemic years.
It's not just Brits who are suffering though, all non-EU residents will have to be ready to show proof of funds, stay, or return flight upon arrival.
Though there have not been many occurrences of people being stopped at the border, you know what they say - better safe than sorry, eh?

But with these new changes, some cities and destinations within Spain itself are making moves to crackdown on out of control tourists and to punish bad behaviour more severely.
One popular island destination has made the move to cut down on 'rampant, irresponsible' tourism ahead of the expected influx of Brits arriving this spring and summer for a beach getaway.
How is Majorca cracking down on 'rampant' tourism?
Majorca is the island in question, and Jaime Martinez, the mayor of capital city Palma has stated: “Playa de Palma [a popular nightlife destination] says enough is enough.”

He was adamant that there would be absolutely zero tolerance of vandalism, street drinking and fights.
Martinez added: “The same things we demand of our citizens, we demand of our visitors.”
The mayor expects there to be more police on the streets during the holiday season, with fines of up to €3,000 (£2,500) and other tough penalties for anti-social behaviour ready to be dished out to trouble-makers.
He re-iterated: "The town hall is going to be inflexible," claiming that there was 'no turning back' with these new policies.
The man who was sworn in as mayor in 2023 continued: "This is a matter of political will. No one deserves to have to put up with this type of behaviour every year."

An increase in police patrolling has been authorised by the town hall according to Martinez, with a meeting with the Spanish government delegation in the Balearics also set.
The mayor concluded that the popular island destination aims to introduce 'significant National Police reinforcements' to help with the big clampdown.
