From nudity and showering to alcohol: The surprising things you can be fined for when you visit these resorts in Spain

Many of us are counting down the days until the school summer holidays begin and looking forward to a week or two in the sun. But with new rules and regulations being introduced at resorts around the world, holidays abroad this summer may vastly differ to what we were used to pre-Covid.

In Spain, not only is there an "all-inclusive alcohol limit" in some resorts, but there's also a ban on using shampoo or soap at all beach showers, as well as a new regulation that could see someone fined more than £600 if they get caught short and have a wee in the sea!

And in Barcelona on mainland Spain and Malaga and Palma on Majorca, people could be fined €300 for walking around the streets in their swimwear or just swimming trunks but no t-shirt. Bizarrely, however, nudity is technically legal on all beaches in Spain providing it doesn't cause offence - it is worth checking each individual beach you visit though, before you take your kit off.
