Outraged Majorcan locals told MailOnline that they are sick of men strolling around half-naked - some wearing ill-fitting budgie smugglers and others drinking in bars wearing just their underwear.

Boozy Brit and German tourists appear to be ignoring Majorca's crackdown on alcohol and walking around half-naked as they have been spotted proudly taking to the streets in their Speedos or with beer bottles in hand.

Local restaurants say they refuse to serve men and women who dress inappropriately - with one manager describing a tourist wearing tight green Speedos in the centre of Palma as ‘super ugly’. Tourists were warned they could €600 fines for taking glasses outside of restaurants - but the rules seemed to have been ignored anywayOn one occasion, a nightclub bouncer stopped a British lad coming off the Magaluf strip with a Heineken bottle in his hand but did not dish out a fine, raising questions over how much the rules are actually enforced.

There are, however, signs up warning tourists of €600 fines for taking glasses outside of restaurants. Business owner Pedro Martinez, who runs an independent shop in Palma, told MailOnline: 'Tourists should be more polite. I am local. Seeing something like that in Palma and other areas, we don't like it. You are coming from a country, for sure you are not going to do that in your country. I have been to England and it's completely different.'

'It is not nice when there are people eating on another table, we don't accept it,' one said. 'There is a dress code. I tell them sorry this is a restaurant and you need to put t-shirts on and shoes.''The problem is the Mega Park and Bierkonig where there is a Greek party every day. They are drinking so much and it's not nice. The public should be better here.

The restaurant manager, who did not want to be named, added: 'The government are trying every year, they are doing it well, but there are more people than police and people don't listen.' 'In their own countries they don't do that, so you come to my country and you make a mess and you go back. It's too much alcohol.

Partygoers in Palma, Llucmajor and Magaluf in Majorca and San Antonio in Ibiza now face fines of between €500 and €1,500 if their street drinking 'disrupts coexistence, involves crowds or deteriorates the tranquillity of the environment'.

Last week, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party of Palma highlighted the existence of around 800 illegal holiday rental homes in the municipality alone, according to Ultima Hora . Ibiza also became the latest Spanish holidaymaker hotspot to join in with growing anti-tourism protests that have erupted around the country.

Similar protesting has been seen in other popular destinations, such as Tenerife, where furious locals even went on hunger strike in an effort to voice their anger.
