BOOZY British tourists partying in Portugal face huge fines amid a purge on bawdy behaviour.
The party mecca of Albufeira has become the latest hotspot to get tough on rowdy guests.

It means revellers heading to the sun for a stag and hen do could be hit with a £1,500 penalty for nudity, £1,250 for peeing or bonking in public and the same sum for wearing a bikini anywhere other than the beach or pool.
With the resort’s summer season beginning as early as April, the city is determined to make visitors behave better.
It comes after a group of British men were filmed starkers in a bar on the hedonistic Oura Strip in Albufeira.
The city council has rubber-stamped the batch of fines and now they will go before the Municipal Assembly for final approval. It’s hoped they will be in force this summer.
Announcing the passing of the proposal, Albufeira mayor Jose Carlos Rolo told a meeting on Tuesday: “This is another important step to combat a negative image of tourism in the municipality, and to promote harmony between this sector and the resident population.”
He had previously said that the code of conduct was to “attract new tourist markets from other nationalities”.
Portugal is the fifth most popular holiday destination for Brits, with around four million people visiting annually.
‘Must be mindful’
Its clampdown follows a similar move to keep the partying British in line as they holidayed in Spain.
Fines were introduced there for public drunkenness and nudity — along with a ban on boat parties.
The Canary Islands have launched anti-tourist protests against overcrowding and rising property prices due to tourism lets.
But Portugal, Spain and the Canaries are not the only places getting tough on troublemakers.
Croatian destinations Hvar and Split have also opted to implement huge fines, while Italy has targeted a more cultured set of tourists by demanding they do not mess around on famous landmarks.
Matt Mavir, managing director of stag and hen bash firm Last Night Of Freedom, said: “It’s a lazy assumption that those heading abroad for a stag or hen do are causing trouble.
“These are normal people just letting their hair down.
“But they must be respectful and mindful to make sure they don’t fall foul of the recently changed rules.
“These destinations have to strike the right balance — if Brits feel they’re being targeted or treated unfairly, they are likely to just go elsewhere.”

WHAT is it about holidays that makes some of us lose our minds – and often a lot more?
We wouldn’t grab a pint of milk at home in just a bikini.
Or relieve ourselves on the pavements.
But something leads Brits abroad to act very differently.
With protests against tourists across the Med, we’re doing ourselves no favours by upsetting locals.
So understand the rules and regulations in your chosen destination, be aware of cultural sensitivities.
Travel can be such a force for good if we behave as we would want others to when visiting us.
