The Tías Local Police have fined two establishments in Puerto del Carmen for selling alcohol to minors and operating outside permitted hours, reinforcing surveillance during the summer season.

The Tías Local Police have filed complaints against the managers of two hospitality venues located in Puerto del Carmen. The detected infractions include the alleged sale of alcoholic beverages to minors and conducting business activities outside of authorized hours.
These actions are part of the increased surveillance and control operations that the Tías City Council is carrying out during the summer season. Checks are focused on areas with high public attendance, such as leisure venues and commercial establishments, aiming to ensure compliance with regulations and public safety.
During a recent operation, officers identified situations related to the sale and consumption of alcohol by minors. Following verifications, the relevant complaints were processed and will now proceed through the administrative procedure to determine responsibilities.
The mayor of Tías, José Juan Cruz Saavedra, has emphasized that the protection of minors and adherence to regulations are municipal priorities. He highlighted the intensification of police surveillance during the summer, particularly in Puerto del Carmen, to ensure responsible access to alcoholic beverages and compliance with opening hours.
The council stresses the preventive nature of these actions, aiming to promote coexistence, safety, and respect for rules, especially during periods of high tourist influx and increased nightlife. The work of the Local Police officers during the peak season is valued.
The importance of collaboration between business owners, staff, and citizens to create safe environments is reiterated. Spanish law prohibits the sale and consumption of alcohol by minors, and public administrations conduct control and awareness campaigns to foster responsible leisure habits.
