Hefty fines will now be imposed for everything from urinating in the street to getting naked.
The rules will kick in within weeks, in time for the summer season, aiming to curb anti-social behaviour.
And locals hope they will turn the tide, with nakedness, vomiting in the street and having
sex
in public all now coming at a heavy price.

Brit tourists were first warned about the new get-tough rules in February when Albufeira's mayor Jose Carlos Rolo announced the "Code of Conduct" plans.
Last summer, a group of partying
'Can't believe it' cry locals as 'tourist' filmed cycling NAKED through Lanzarote amid anti-visitor fury plaguing Spain
Footage of their drunken antics, showing them starkers on their knees in a line on top of a bar counter, went viral.
Rolo called the display 'deeply negative' and said he would call for
police
reinforcements.
He said last night: "Tourists who fall down drunk aren't needed here at all."
Predictably, Albufeira is fast becoming the go-to spot for young revellers looking for a boozy break.
During The Sun's investigation into tourist revelry in the town, we saw how cops and medics are already patrolling the mile-long strip — nicknamed 'The Chaos' by locals — to keep a firm eye on the crazy, drunken antics of holidaymakers.
Little wonder some end up in a terrible state, as girls are plied with free drinks at many pubs in a bid to lure in paying lads, while every bar offers shots from £1.70.
Local taxi driver Guilherme, 25, told The Sun: 'Stay here more than one night and you'll see tourists having sex in the street. Sometimes it's groups of naked men on balconies. It's shocking.'
Furious locals decided to bring in the new code of conduct after a group of

It comes as a 21-year-old Brit was found dead at the foot of a set of
steps
in Albufeira's old town last Wednesday.
Cops are said to believe booze is behind the tragedy.
The news, which emerged on Saturday, came days after reveller Greg Monks, 38, from Glasgow, was found dead in a ravine near Albufeira.
He was there on a stag do and had left the party early to return to his hotel when it is thought he jumped over a wall while drunk, unaware there was a steep drop on the other side. He was missing for a week.
The fatalities shine an unwelcome light on the more dangerous and seedier side of the Algarve resort.
Once marketed as a family-friendly getaway, now a much younger crew of holidaymakers is descending on the cobbled streets, turning it into a nocturnal party town.
