alot of different views but i am in my late 40s i would love it even at my age we used to go to the raves of the 80s in old warehouses they went on all week end no trouble ever ok drink and a few drugs but i think that the kids need to let there hair down and have a great time with as little trouble as possible my lads would love it out side in the sun partying better than going to a nightv club and having you head smashed in for no reason.

Of course it does, but it is less likely to get violent

There was a comment in the article saying there are no problems with the bottelones in Granada because the authorities give the kids a space to have the botellon in and facilities such as toilets

The problem in Malaga is that the authorities have banned botellones. Give the kids what they want I say!

There was one being held in the dried up riverbed in Valencia centre when we were there one day recently.I think it was when they broke up for easter as my daughter did the same day.

It was huge.They were all drinking.There were toilets provided and they had a very large area.It was being controlled but everything seemed quiet(well not quiet but you know what I mean) and they were a having a great time.

OH took a picture of some of them and one shouted back "guiri" to him.:lol::lol:
