Some 25,000 students hold drinking party in Spain

The "macro-botellon," as these outside drinking parties are called, started at the Complutense University in Madrid on Friday.

Madrid's Municipal Police said because of the large numbers involved in the party, they were unable to clear the drinkers until 7 a.m. Saturday."It is the biggest botellon that we have seen since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic," a police spokesman told Reuters. Madrid's regional government will relax restrictions from Monday so that bars and clubs can stay open until 6 a.m., from the 2 a.m. close currently. People must still wear masks indoors and maintain a distance of 1.5 meters if social distancing is not possible.

However, mass drinking parties are still illegal and punishable with fines for taking part between 500 euros for minors and 600 euros for adults. Organizers face fines of up to 600,000 euros if a court judges it is an activity which puts public health at risk. There were other mass drinking parties in Barcelona and the northern Spanish city of Logroño on Friday night, authorities said.
