And new applications for terrace spots are also being halted, as are new licences for nightclubs, bars, restaurants, cafes, karaoke bars and even bingo halls.
Authorities in Spain’s popular Costa Blanca region of Alicante have approved the new legislation, which is expected to come into force before the peak holiday season begins in spring.
A popular Spanish tourist destination is set to introduce new curfews on bars, restaurants and nightclubs due to noise complaints from residents.
The ruling is also expected to impact 24-hour shops, which will also be required to comply with the new legislation.
The new ruling means bars will have to close at 12.30am on weekdays and 1am on Friday, Saturdays and on the eve of national holidays.
