THIRSTY Brits could make a decent saving on holiday spending money when travelling to Spain, thanks to a new law.
Up until now, Spanish restaurants could choose whether they want to offer tap water and could decide to charge for it.
A new law has been introduced that forces all hospitality venues to offer tap water free of charge to customers.
The rule states: "Establishments in the hotel and restaurant sector will always have to offer consumers, customers or users of their services the possibility of consuming unpackaged water free of charge and complimentary to the offer of the same establishment."
It coincides with Spain's push to reduce use of plastics, especially plastic water bottles that often litter the tourist hotspots.
Water fountains around city centres and beaches are also being installed soon, so taking a refillable bottle for days exploring the town could save you even more cash.
