Since all three are flagrantly ignored by most Spanish licencees, the question is pretty academic. |

The legal drinking age in Spain, and its associated territories (including Tenerife) is actually 18 years old, in line with the rest if Europe, despite many myths and stories otherwise!!! In Spain, this does however have a few exceptions though, most notably that under 18's can actually drink in the presense of responsible adults. Though technically 16 year olds drinking alcohol are tolerated, strictly speaking this is not in fact legal and you most certainly cannot purchase alcohol at that age! |

As Spain is an Eu member the rules for drinking have been unified for all members and that is !8 years old. How ever due to the wonderfull laid back culture its not police so keenly as other member states. I must add that i am pleased to have lived in one of the costa del sol touris towns for more then 10 years and its 90 + % holiday people who abuse the alcholic dinks!! |

I was assured by our holiday rep in Benidorm, that you can buy alchohol anywhere in Spain fron the age of sixteen. Perhaps she was just trying to get us to book a few more happy days oot! I also heard the same information from an ex pat who runs a bar. |
