Cops in Spain have cracked down on illegal street vendors who target tourists but their latest bust even shocked them.
During a routine check of Platja de Palma on July 13, local cops stumbled upon a man in the parking lot surrounded by plastic cups, a shopping bag, fruit and a knife.
He was preparing half a dozen takeaway cups comprising of sangria and mojitos to sell on the beachfront.
He had prepared the cocktails in a five-litre bottle prior to arriving at his makeshift bar and was simply pouring the liquid into the smaller cups.
The vendor was also caught cutting up a watermelon and mint leaves on a flimsy and used plastic bag placed directly on the dirty floor.
The man then popped in some ice cubes and chucked the leaves and watermelon slices inside the cups.
Police busted the vendor as he was operating without any health standard guarantees or a license to sell alcohol on public roads.
Palma Police took to X to share the revolting images alongside the caption: "Ingredients: fruit, alcohol... and the ground of a parking lot.
"We seized drinks prepared in unsanitary conditions for street
"Your health is not a game. Consume only in authorized places."

The images clearly showed the bag being used as a chopping board was covered in black spots of dirt.
Unused chunks of watermelon and spilt liquid can also be seen strewn across the ground.
A detailed report of the events have been sent to the Food Safety and Nutrition Service of the Ministry of Health.
Brits flocking to the sunshine in Majorca are also set to be affected by a major crackdown inside restaurants.
Eaterie s across the idyllic island are now uniting behind a simple demand: one bill per table - no exceptions.
Owners are blaming picky tourists and chronic waiter shortages for chaos at the tills sparked by diners habits of asking to split the bill.
The clampdown on splitting the bill comes as anti-tourism protests flare up across the Balearics and mainland Spain.
Tourists – especially Brits – are finding themselves increasingly unwelcome, with some now being lured to 'fake beaches' as part of a growing guerrilla campaign.
In one viral video, a local revealed how some residents are making up names for non-existent coves in dangerous areas to mislead visitors and keep them off popular stretches of sand.
'These are not beaches, they are dangerous places that you should avoid,' she warned.
Meanwhile, beaches have been barricaded with boulders, fake 'Beach Closed' signs have popped up across Majorca, and one protester was even spotted wielding an axe.
The protest group Caterva claimed responsibility for recent 'symbolic closures' of secluded coves like Cala Varques and Cala Petita, insisting they're 'for residents' use and rest' only.
