New rules could affect Britons planning stag or hen-do holidays

Holidaymakers are being urged not to take blow-up dolls to the South of Spain as new rules could see visitors slapped with a £650 fine.

Those planning stag or hen-do holidays cannot bring any inappropriate or sexual objects out in public.


The local Spanish government has recently set a fine of 750 euros for people walking around with elements of sexual nature in public.

Anyone with inflatables or a costume which is deemed "sexual" could face the hefty fine.

It comes after police in Spain announced they are cracking down on anti-social behaviour which could see tourists with a fine of up to €3,000.

Holiday makers visiting the city of Palma on the island of Majorca will have follow new security measures.

The operation will mean fines will be distributed among tourists who break rules laws which ban drunken and bad behaviour.

Spanish tourist spots will be cracking down on Britons and tourists until October 15 when the campaign ends.

As part of the project, holidaymakers who choose to book all-inclusive will be restricted to just six drinks a day and these can only be accessed alongside their lunch and dinner - offering them three drinks per meal.

Officers hope to combat excessive tourism, and aim to remind shopkeepers in key areas of the current regulations of the Law on Excesses in relation to the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Penalties range from 100 euros for minor infractions to 3,000 euros for serious ones.

As the summer holiday season begins, travel experts at eShores have shared the most surprising ways Britons could be fined - including a rule about plastic bags.

Holidaymakers are being urged not to use single-use plastic bags as they are banned in Egypt.

In 2019, Governor Ahmed Abdallah banned single-use plastic and anyone found in possession of it could be slapped with a fine of up to £1,000.

The law applies to restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, and pharmacies as well as safari trips and boats.
