Holidaymakers face being slapped with a hefty fine if they are found to be urinating in the sea at some of Spain’s beaches.
Officials in Vigo, in the Galicia region in the north of the country, has recently imposed the rule on beaches in the area.
Anyone found to be doing their business in the sea or on the beach could be hit with a penalty of £640, the Express reports.
City councillors have described the act as an “infringement of hygiene and sanitary regulations.”
They have stated that a number of public toilets will be installed during the high season to ensure that people are following the new laws.
People travelling over to Spain have been urged to check the laws before heading over to their destination.
Spain also recently announced that local authorities could impose fines for anyone inappropriately dressed on the street.
This means holidaymakers have to make sure they get dressed before leaving the beach as people who don’t cover up could be fined under the new rule.
This includes women seen wearing only a bikini or swimsuit and men without a top.
The country is also planning to fine anyone who leaves rubbish behind as well as people who bring a gas cylinder or barbecue to the beach.
Using soap in the sea is now banned and reserving a spot on the beach with a towel is not allowed anymore.
Majorca and Ibiza, in the Balearic Islands, announced earlier this year that holidaymakers will be limited to just six drinks a day on their all-inclusive holidays.
The number of drinks is now limited to three at lunch, and three at dinner.
The Balearic Government also banned the sale of alcohol in shops between 9.30pm and 8am.
Pub crawls, two-for-one drinks offers and happy hours at certain spots in Majorca and Ibiza are also illegal.
Majorca has also announced that people will not be allowed in restaurants or bars if they are wearing football shirts or glow-in-the-dark hats.
A group of 11 restaurants in Majorca, all part of the Palma Beach brand, have imposed a new dress code which all tourists will have to follow.
The clothing ban includes tank tops without straps, swimming trunks, swimsuits, accessories purchased from street vendors, such as glow-in-the-dark hats, and football strips.
