The destination popular for sunseekers is enforcing new dress code rules which could result in penalties of over $600 for those flouting them in bikinis or swim shorts. The new laws dictate what people can wear in public, with the risk of penalties if they don't follow the rules.
As the summer season is around the corner and many families plan their getaways, they're being urged to bear these new rules in mind. These rules apply not just in Barcelona, but in other places throughout Spain, and they concern wearing bikinis and roaming about without a shirt in public areas.
It's absolutely fine for visitors to strut around in their beachwear at the beach or by the hotel pool. But, when strolling about town, they might want to think about swapping their swimsuits for regular clothes.
But, experts in travel warn that local authorities won't take too kindly to such attire, Birmingham Live reports. As Henry Sunley, the boss at Travel Republic put it, "The announcements from The Foreign Office of various new rules that will be coming into effect in some popular holiday destinations might be overwhelming news for people who have already booked their holidays."
"Understanding the new rules and how they could affect you should be a priority to make sure that nothing takes you by surprise during your trip. With these announcements strict laws could also see travellers handed a fine for wearing a bikini or going shirtless in Spain."
"The Foreign Office has issued warnings that if people are caught without being properly clothed in some areas near to beaches they will be stopped by the police. Tourists are fine to wear bikinis and swimwear on the beach or poolside - but if you head to local shops and restaurants, you could end up being fined if dressed inappropriately."
