A woman was carried away on a mobility scooter through the streets of Benidorm in a hilarious clip shared online.

The woman had been placed onto the back of the scooter and was being driven home by a man believed to be her husband.

She was seen asleep with her arms flailing at her sides as day-drinkers on the strip of the Spanish resort looked on in hysterics.

During the clip, the woman appears to come round briefly and dances to music when they stop outside a bar.

After being uploaded to Twitter , the clip, captioned 'Welcome to Benidorm', has been shared more than 8,000 times.

One commenter, Shaun Matthew Evans, said: "Who says romance is dead?"

Another added: "Not a bad idea when being carted off back to the hotel!"

But not everyone was impressed, with one commenter saying: "I'm very embarrassed about the British people's behaviour abroad. Spanish people protest about this kind of stuff, man."

Benidorm is set to follow in the footsteps of Magaluf and Ibiza and crack the whip on drunken tourists.

The blacklist would include the names, nationalities and passport numbers of anyone who has been arrested for offensive behaviour or brawling.

The crackdown comes after more and more hoteliers in the region report drunken tourists who are offending others, as well as staff.

There have also been widespread reports of hotel room vandalism.

The ban is also popular with British ex-pats.

Local entertainer Gary Beddow Brown agrees with the ban.

He told The Daily Star: "Some tourists leave their brains at home and think they can get away with anything while abroad, usually something they wouldn't consider doing at home.

"I'm all for a blacklist — people need to be held accountable.

"Why should local businesses be out of pocket for damage caused by people with no regard for others?"

The Spanish seaside resort has attracted crowds of thrill-seeking tourists for years, but locals have long complained about the effects of drunken tourists.

Tourists from the UK make up nearly half of the figures in the Spanish resort.
