The famous Spanish resort of Costa del Sol in Andalusia continues to crack down on the anti-social behavior of British tourists to gain a reputation as a civilized beach destination with new bans. In particular, a fine is introduced for walking the streets in one’s underwear.
In particular, according to the Daily Star, the authorities of the resort region have tightened the rules for stag and hen parties – anyone who undresses on the street, walks around in underwear, walks with sex dolls, and wears costumes with an inflatable penis, which are incredibly popular with young Britons during stag and hen parties can be fined a tidy sum.
Party Malaga on the Costa del Sol already has strict laws in place, including fines for using megaphones or general anti-social behavior, including “drunk tourism” and anti-social antics. This was also joined by a complete ban on a stag and hen parties, just noisy parties in pubs and clubs. Other areas of Spain have also introduced fines for urinating in the sea, and some resorts have banned swimsuits from restaurants.
Recently, new restrictions have appeared. Thus, the authorities approved new provisions to their existing laws. In the future, any tourist participating in a bachelor or bachelorette party who is found naked on the street or stripped down to his underwear will be fined RUB 60,000—for inflatable dolls. The police will first warn offenders to follow the public order and only issue fines if they refuse.
A tough response to anti-social behavior was approved on Thursday by the Commission on Social Rights, held this Thursday. The ban applies not only to tourists but also to locals. As it turned out, there are also quite a few who like to appear on the street without clothes, carry inflatable dolls with them or wear penis-shaped accessories on their heads.
“The spread in recent years of certain behaviors related to nudism, the use of lingerie or erotic content in public places advises the municipality to adopt new rules,” the mayor’s office explained. “The ultimate goal is to preserve the public space as a place of meeting, coexistence, and courtesy, in which all people can freely carry out their activities of free movement, leisure, and recreation, with full respect for others and the plurality of self-expression.”
