Question 1

What is the "Drink Spiking at Nightclubs" scam in Lloret de Mar?

Accepted Answer

Drink spiking incidents in Lloret de Mar have been recorded by Spanish police and reported by British consular services during peak summer season. The resort nightlife strip is specifically mentioned in UK Foreign Office guidance as a location where drink spiking has occurred. Never leave drinks unattended. Refuse drinks from people you do not trust. Leave with the same group you arrived with. If someone becomes unexpectedly incapacitated, contact security and call 112.

Question 2

What is the "Bar Crawl Wristband Scam" scam in Lloret de Mar?

Accepted Answer

Promoters on the Lloret de Mar nightlife strip sell bar crawl wristbands for 15-30 EUR with promises of free drinks and access to multiple clubs. The included drinks are typically one shot of cheap spirit per venue, some venues on the list do not honour the wristband, and operators routinely drop groups after two or three stops. Some wristband sellers have no connection to any venue. Only join bar crawls from operators with verifiable TripAdvisor reviews. Ask for a written list of venues and what is specifically included before paying. If the promoter cannot name every venue, do not hand over money.
