Spain has always been and remains a favorite holiday destination for many tourists. However, the country has strict rules, and violations are subject to heavy fines.

The Sun writes about it.

How to avoid getting a fine in Spain

Many tourists like to drink while on holiday, but there are restrictions that prohibit holidaymakers from drinking alcohol in public places, including streets, parks, and beaches. Violators can be fined up to €3,000.

Last year, Spain also passed the new law giving local municipalities the right to fine anyone caught smoking on the beach. Depending on the area, those who violate the ban will have to pay up to €2,000.

Two popular Spanish cities have strict rules about where swimwear can be worn. In Barcelona, people can only wear bikinis on the beach, and holidaymakers caught topless in the city centre can be fined up to €300. In Mallorca, such a violation will cost you €600.

The country also monitors order on the streets. People who return to their hotels or wander between bars between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. may be fined €500 for excessive noise.

Spain also severely punishes those who like to ride without a ticket. Travelling without a valid ticket can result in a fine of up to €100.

Fines for littering in Spain range from €100 to €3,000. The amount depends on the severity of the offence and the location.
