Our view

Benidorm bans street promotion outright where Calvià, facing the same pressures, licenses it. The parking rule is sensible; the blanket ban on approaching passers-by is not.

Other places

Valencia

Restrictive

Vans need a licence. Bikes in practice can't get one. People may not be used as walking billboards.

Alicante

Proportionate

Promotion that sets up nothing on the street counts as ordinary use and needs no permit. Stands and leaflet points need authorisation. Persistent touting is banned.

Torrevieja

Restrictive

Advertising vans are licensable but may not use loudspeakers. Commercial leafleting isn't among the permitted activities.

Sevilla

Proportionate

Yes for moving vans, and very probably bikes. No for parking as a billboard. Leaflets need notice to the cleaning service.
