Magaluf is a favourite party destination for British tourists who come to blow off steam and enjoy the cheap alcohol prices on offer.

But bad behaviour over the years, including binge drinking, sex in the streets, fighting and nudity, have given Brits a bad reputation with the Spanish authorities - leading them to issue a warning to tourists that there will be consequences for those who misbehave. 

Council officials are fighting to improve the area's image, where a lot of the rowdy behaviour is concentrated in a strip of bars known as Punta Ballena. 

Their attempts follow a string of controversial stories surrounding the resort in recent years which tour operators say are putting people off visiting the island altogether.

Two years ago, officials announced plans to introduce fines of up to €3,000 (£2,182) for anyone caught naked in the street.

The new rules came into effect in June 2015, and also included hefty fines for anyone urinating in public or 'balconing,' which refers to the act of drunkenly jumping from hotel balconies. 

That summer British police were even dispatched to the party spot as a trial to help Spanish officers deal with victims and offenders from the UK. 

But pictures taken at the resort recently still showed revellers spilling out of bars and falling on the street.

In one photo a partygoer in a 'Willyman' costume - which is essentially a superhero outfit with a plastic penis attached - can be seen pointing his plastic prop at a young woman. 

And in another, a group of women carry a blow-up sex doll on the strip. 

Meanwhile, two miles away in Palma Nova, a group of 20 male tourists stripped off for a daytime skinny-dip before jogging back to their hotel on Friday afternoon.

Some covered up their privates with one hand but others left themselves exposed to passers-by - including a young boy.

Only one of the Brits appeared to be dressed, with a couple of those that did have at least something on limiting their attire to just hats and sunglasses.

In a clip of the incident a Spanish local watching the outrageous scene could be overheard shouting 'Mira, mira' - Spanish for 'Look, look' - as a second man appeared out of nowhere to stop cars while the men ran across a road at the back of the promenade. 

Today council officials in Calvia, which covers the Palma Nova area, confirmed 18 of the tourists had been fined after local police tracked down the hotel they were staying in.

They were penalised for infringing a by-law by exposing themselves in public and another for obstructing traffic.

It was not clear if the holidaymaker fined for obstructing traffic was the man filmed stopping cars as the naked runners jogged across the road - or whether he was unconnected to the stunt and just trying to ensure no-one was injured.

Council chiefs said the men had paid their fines and apologised.

A spokesman added: 'Calvia Town Hall is not going to permit this type of behaviour and congratulates the local police for the speed with which it has acted.'

It was not immediately clear how much each person had been asked to pay, although fines for such behaviour usually range from €100 (£87) to €600 (£526).

Local politician Carlos Tarancon urged Calvia Council to take tough action against the Britons involved in the latest stunt, suggesting that as well as being fined they should be prosecuted if minors were affected by their behaviour.

He said: 'The diffusion of a video like this is enough to ruin all the work that's been done over the past year to improve the image of our municipality.

'Anti-social behaviour of this kind should be met with zero tolerance.'

Urging the public to report offenders immediately, he added: 'I would urge people to help solve this scourge in our municipality by informing the police of the slightest incident of its kind so they can assist them in their work.'
