Spain holiday warning – here’s how your swimwear could land you with a £250 fine
BRITS heading to Spain have been warned their swimwear could land them a hefty fine.
Frank, who runs stag and hen dos in Benidorm, has shared a number of tips on how to avoid being stung with a penalty on holiday.
He warned swimmers to cover up once they leave the beach or face a £250 fine.
Speaking on his TikTok page from Spain, Frank said: “When leaving the beach and hitting the streets please cover up.
“Men must put their shirts on, ladies cover up your bikinis or you could be fined 300 euros.
“I know you’re getting off the beach, you’re in your beach wear, you can be fined up to 300 euros.”
Frank also warned of a number of other ways tourists could end up paying out.
He added: “Entering the beach between midnight and 7am you can get yourself a fine of 750 to 1,200 euros.
“Sleeping or camping on the beach, you can get a fine of 1,200 euros.
“Placing a parasol and towel to reserve a space – you can get yourself a 150 euro fine.
“Swimming when the red flag is flying you can get yourself a 1,000 euro fine, or maybe dead.
“Urinating in the sea, you can get a fine of 150 euros but I’m not sure how they’re going to catch you.”
Frank said using soap and shampoo at the beach also comes with a fine of up to 650 euros (£555) while fishing can land you a penalty of 750 euros (£640).
And building a sandcastle on Benidorm’s beaches could cost you up to £130.
He added: “Drinking alcohol on the beach has a fine of 750 euros. Do not use beach vendors, they are all illegal.
“Smoking on the beach has a fine of up to 2,000 euros.
“And no fires or BBQs are permitted.”
It comes after Brits were warned driving topless could see them slapped with a fine.
Majorca Daily Bulletin reported that while being shirtless isn’t illegal, Spanish law bans anything that impacts safe driving.
That is said to include wearing “inappropriate” clothes and could see holidaymakers slapped with the £170 bill.
Meanwhile, Brits were warned they face hefty fines for partying on top holiday destinations.
Clubbers could be hit with a £25,000 penalty if they attend illegal parties on the two islands, which have been clamping down on unlicensed events.
The measures come as officials in Majorca and Ibiza crackdown on booze-fuelled chaos and drunken behaviour.
