Brits travelling to one of the UK's top holiday spots could face hefty fines if they flout certain clothing rules.
Spain has introduced a number of strict laws for tourists in recent months, including two regarding what people can and can't wear. While bikinis and swimsuits are fine for the beach and poolside, sunseekers heading out bars and restaurants or even just a busy street could get a burn no amount of sunscreen can prevent.
Depending on whereabouts in the country you are, fines of up to £500 for anyone flouting the ban. Barcelona - which receives 27million visitors a year - hands out £250 penalties to people in their one and two-pieces in public.
And while Ibiza may be famed for its poolside parties and bars, Brit tourists can face £500 fines in the Balearics, including its other islands Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera. The rule also applies to anyone walking around bare chested in the heat, so visitors need to keep their tops on at all times.
According to the UK Foreign Office (FCDO): "In some parts of Spain it’s illegal to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts. Being bare-chested is also illegal in some areas in Spain. You could be fined if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or adjacent streets."
Clothing rules don't just apply to those stripping down, however. Some parts of Spain do not allow face coverings for religious or cultural reasons into public buildings.
The FCDO added: "For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain do not allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside."
Spain's strict codes on holiday attire go a step further in some resorts, meanwhile, with restaurants and bars not allowing anyone in donned in apparel associated with "drunken tourism". This is in a bid to crackdown on some resorts' drinking culture, which causes chaos for local residents and police.
Happy hours and open bar deals are banned in bars in some parts, while authorities have also curbed the sale of alcohol from vending machines, self-service alcohol dispensers, the organising of pub-crawls and party boat trips, ‘off-licence’ sales between 9:30pm and 8am.
