A British tourist has been killed after a late-night brawl erupted outside a nightclub in a popular Spanish resort.

The tourist, aged 30, was stabbed to death outside Oxygen nightclub in Calella in the North-East Spanish region of Catalonia at about 5am today.

The fight, which reportedly also involved other tourists, left a second person injured - who has since been hospitalised.
