It is understood the fight started between a bouncer and a passerby at a venue on Primer de Maig Street - one of the town's main nightlife strips - in the early hours of July 23.
The street is popular with British tourists and widely dubbed "Pecat" - or "Sin" - Street.
But the scrap quickly escalated into a wild brawl involving around 40 people.
Dramatic footage shows drinkers battering each other with chairs, tables, glass bottles, stools, and metal bars.

Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) and local police officers - many of them women - can be seen desperately trying to break up the fight.
But they were powerless to put a stop to it or make arrests.
During the scuffle, two cops suffered dislocated joints, while another officer was left covered in cuts after being hit by a flying glass bottle.
No arrests were made and no suspects have been identified, as those involved in the skirmish quickly dispersed from the scene.

Paramedics who tended to some of the wounded - including the local police officer - said all the injuries they treated were minor.
The Mossos d'Esquadra are now investigating the incident, which was not the only drama in Catalonia that night.
Another scuffle that took place in Salou, another town popular with Brits, saw several youths attack bouncers with glass bottles outside the Kiss nightclub.
The attack began when the young people tried to get into the club without paying the entry fee and the bouncers noticed and tried to turn them away.
However, instead of leaving, the teenagers tried to force entry by throwing glass bottles at the bouncers, with the staff immediately retaliating.
The suspects started running as soon as they spotted the police arriving on the scene.
One - an 18-year-old - was arrested and taken to hospital with an injury to his face, while the others managed to escape.
He is accused of resisting and disobeying an authority figure.
