Two women were fined for violating a curfew, failing to wear a mask and bathing in a public fountain from 10pm to 7am, Spanish media say – accusing one of them of being seen at a party at a nearby apartment.
Authorities said one of the women had been tracked down to his home and police were trying to catch other guests.

One of the women is said to have posted a series of pictures on Instagram, which revealed that they had gathered in a flat near the Plaza de la Incarnation.
The woman visited the police after identifying the tweeters on social media using what they called ‘open source intelligence’ techniques.
If any contact tracking is required, the police want to locate the alleged parties and hand over their details to the health authorities.
Juan Carlos Cabrera, deputy governor of the City Council of Seville, condemned the ‘irresponsible’ behavior of women in the video.
Police said Cabrera ‘closely followed police investigations’ after the video was released and shared online by Seville authorities.
Cabrera called on everyone’s responsibility, especially young people, to avoid repeating such acts so that the effects of the epidemic can be continuously controlled. ‘

Seville is part of Andalusia, which is currently under curfew from 10pm to 7am due to the second wave of Covit-19.
As the cut-off point moves back an hour from December 18 to 11pm, activities are set to ease during the festive season.
It will be extended to 1.30am on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day, while restrictions on entry and exit in the area will be relaxed.
Seville alone saw more than 1,000 cases a day during the worst of the second wave, but since then the infection rate has dropped significantly.
The infection rate in Andalusia is now lower than the Spanish average, with 50 cases per 100,000 people last week compared to 80 nationwide.
