As previously reported by the Olive Press, the Brits were staying at the Costa Narejos Hotel in Los Narejos.
They were returning to their accommodation just after 11pm last Tuesday and were on a pedestrian crossing outside the hotel when they were mowed down.
The driver fled the scene but the Los Alcazares Policia Local caught and arrested him.
His breath test recorded that he was more than three-times over the alcohol limit.
He was also behind the wheel without a driving licence, and faces a reckless homicide charge plus a list of motoring offences.
