What the Foreign Office says about local laws in holiday hotspots
With the summer holidays fast approaching many Brits will have trips abroad planned in the coming weeks. Destinations in Spain, Greece, Portugal, France and Turkey are all popular with UK travellers and are used to dealing with a high volume of tourists.
“Being bare-chested has also been banned in some areas of Spain. Some local councils will impose fines if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or the adjacent streets.” The FCDO says: “The police will make arrests and the courts are likely to impose heavy fines or prison sentences on people who behave indecently. Some fancy dress costumes may be regarded as offensive and therefore against decency laws. Your travel insurance may not cover you after drinking.”
