British holidaymakers stare even more woe Spain While the government proposes a smoke ban on terraces and open-air nightclubs.
The Ministry of Health in Spain prepares a law to expand smoke-free spaces to terraces, bus stops, work vehicles, UNI campuses, communal pools and open-air nightclubs.
The latest measure, confirmed by the Minister of Health Mónica García today, was borne from an anti-smoking plan approved by autonomous communities at the Interteritorial Council of the National Health System, which tried to expand smoke-free zones across Spain.
The Draft Bill must be approved by the Council of Ministers of Spain before being sent to Cortes Generales, the country’s parliament.
There it will require an agreement from other parties before it becomes an official legislation.
Garcia told El Pais this week that she wants to act after the measure so that “Spain can be at the forefront of anti-tobacco policy.”
She added: “I hope we do not give in to the lobbies exerting significant pressure, as always. And the tobacco lobby is doing its job. But ours are to defend the health of the population, the citizens. ‘
But the plan can take British holidaymakers away from the country, as the country has already begun to break down on public smoke.

The plan can take up British holidaymakers from the country
Earlier this year, British tourists were warned that many of their great fines were facing vaping on Spanish beaches.
Smoking is not allowed on many beaches in Spain, and 28 beaches on the Baleraic islands as well as ten beaches in Barcelona and others across the country said vaping was prohibited.
Wickdup director Mike Byers, a vapor firm, said: ‘Although it can be tempting to use your vape while relaxing on the beach, it is important to stick to local regulations and laws.
‘Smoking is usually allowed in private, open-air terraces of bars and restaurants, provided the area is not covered by more than two walls and a roof.
‘So if you yearn for your vape, take it as an opportunity to enjoy some time at a local bar or restaurant and get an important rest from the direct sun.
‘If in doubt, use gov.uk to seek advice when it is uncertain and staying up to date with laws and regulations in each country.
“Many EU countries allow vaping in public spaces, so consider these countries when you get away from summer from summer.”
And with strikes planned on the Balearics in June and July, and protests against tourism that take place over a large part of Spain, especially in the continental cities and on the Canary Islands, You will be forgiven that your compass shows elsewhere this summer.
Over the past few weeks, holidaymakers have been in hotels across the Canary Islands, as fellow residents have disrupted Sunshine Bliss for thousands of tourists.

Several activists set a performance, which pours waste and sewage on politicians into Canary Islands, as thousands of people protest against the tourism model and mass tourism in the Canary Islands in Tenefire, Spain, on May 18, 2025.
Protests occurred in Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Ela Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera and Lanzarote, with those arguing to sing the slogan ‘Canarias tens un limite’ (the canaries have a limit) while marching through popular places.
Demonstrators also took the streets in Barcelona and Valencia as well as Madrid to the streets, as the tensions against tourists continued over the past year.
In April, residents fired water pistols during a tour bus outside the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, because they warned this summer against larger protests.
And tourists on their way to Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca, could see their vacations being disrupted by waves of strikes this summer.
Hotel workers across the Balearic Islands are ready to lower tools in payment and circumstances during June and July – saying that they are eager to cause as much revolution for tourists to have the maximum impact.
The decision to strike – which is likely to affect thousands of holidaymakers – comes after the Workers’ Union, Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT), said they were dissatisfied with progress during continued talks.
