Balconing is the name given in Spain to the act of jumping into a swimming pool from a balcony or falling from height while climbing from one balcony to another, performed by foreign tourists while on holiday. The term was formed through a combination of the Spanish-language word ('balcony') and the English-language suffix "-ing".
