Spanish officials will now be enforcing rules that will allow women to sunbathe topless in public without fear of arrest.
Women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law, but some authorities took action regardless, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
The Spanish Government has now confirmed that any authorities preventing women from going topless could be fined up to £430,000.
Some public town swimming pools have stopped women from going topless, due to several complaints during summer.
But now, a letter has been issued to authorities stating that stopping them from baring all "excludes part of the population and violated the free choice of each person with regard to their body."
This letter was written by the Catalan Government's department of equality and feminism, and has protected women's rights in Spain.
Officials have been informed that it is their responsibility to, "defend against discrimination for any motive, including sex or gender, religious convictions or dress".
Public areas are also not allowed to prevent women from breastfeeding their children in public.
Also, women choosing to wear full body bathing suits must be allowed to do so, without prosecution.
