Police say they had been drinking from early on that morning


A group of 15 British tourists have been arrested in Valencia for causing at least € 13,000 of damage to their hotel. Their ages range from 21 to 36.

National Police said in a press release on Thursday that officers were called out to the hotel in the city’s maritime district on Wednesday afternoon, to investigate what is described by Europa Press as a ‘riot’ on the fourth floor. The group of British holidaymakers had only checked in that morning and are reported to have been drinking ever since they arrived.

Police were met with a dense cloud when they reached the scene from the spray the holidaymakers had discharged from the fire extinguishers which were now lying spent on the floor.

It’s understood repairs to the carpets alone will cost more than € 13,000. There was also damage to furniture and to the pool area.
