Top Spanish tourist resort Salou, in Tarragona, has passed local bylaws which stop men walking shirtless through several of the town’s central streets and public places. Women are restricted from wearing bikinis in the same streets as well as in public buildings such as the library, market, civil centre etc.

A statement from the Town Hall said that they wanted to establish a balance between the rights and obligations of the citizens, and it comes three months after groups of British students brought poor and drunken behaviour to the resort in ‘Saloufest’.

The motion, passed in the local council, acts against ‘behaviour which alters the public peace and order’ and plans fines for those to break the regulations from 100 - 300 €.
