After Hours
The Town Hall of San Jose approved new legislation last week
they hope will see the end to "after hours" establishments
which proved so controversial this summer.
As from next year discothèques will not be allowed to open before 12p.m. midday.
They will also have to close at 6a.m.
This means they must remain shut for a minimum of six hours.
Similarly bars with a music license will be allowed to open from 12p.m. - 4a.m.
Bars and cafeterias with no such license will be able to open from 8a.m. - 3a.m.
The councillor responsible, Paquita Ribas, said efforts had to be made to ensure
a better co-existence between the day and night time tourists.
She claimed she thought it unreasonable people were able to party 24 hours a day
and said some control was needed.
Fines for those who infringe the new rules will reach a maximum of €3,000,
although there would be the option of closing down persistent offenders.
