Authorities in the popular resort of Malaga in Spain have banned inflatable penises and sex dolls that people bring to stag and hen parties.
According to the Daily Mail, in recent years this southern Spanish city has become a favorite destination for tourists who want to party, thanks to cheap flights and lively nightlife. However, residents are now determined to crack down on indecent behavior.
According to the new law, in particular, it will be “prohibited to walk or stay on the street only in underwear, in clothes or accessories depicting genitalia, or with dolls or with elements of a sexual nature.”
Violating the ban, which has yet to be spelled out in local law, could result in a fine of up to €750. The penalty can increase to 1,500 euros if the offender is with a minor or a person with a disability, or commits the offense in front of a school or playground.
City Hall lawmakers say police will first ask offenders to comply with the new rules and issue fines only if they refuse.
Strengthening the rules of conduct for tourists in Spain
Spain, as one of the most popular summer party destinations, despite significant income from receiving foreign tourists, has been actively fighting in recent years with indecent behavior of vacationers, as well as an excessive influx of guests.
The leader in the fight against immorality is the Spanish Mallorca, which decided to introduce a limit on tourists. In particular, in 2019, the popular tourist island banned the consumption of alcohol in some areas, including on the beach.
In the summer of 2022, when tourists returned to Mallorca in droves after the easing of covid restrictions, some local restaurants decided to introduce a dress code to scare away poorly dressed tourists. Later, hoteliers in Mallorca decided to fight noisy tourists by forcing them to sign the so-called “code of conduct” when checking in to the hotel.
But the authorities of the popular resort town of San Sebastian in Spain have decided to take money for rescuing drunk tourists from the water if it is proven that they were intoxicated at the time of the incident.
