Brit Holidaygoers Warned Peeing In Spanish Sea Could Result In £640 Fine

Vigo's city council has classified peeing in the sea as a ‘minor infraction’ and ‘an infringement of hygiene and sanitary regulations'.

British holidaymakers who relieve themselves in the sea are set to face a hefty fine, officials in a Spanish town have announced.

Authorities in Vigo, a city based in Spain's Galicia region, have declared that anyone found urinating ‘in the sea or on the beach’ will face a €750 (£640) fine.

According to local media, the city council has classified peeing in the sea as a ‘minor infraction’ and ‘an infringement of hygiene and sanitary regulations.’

Town officials have said they plan to install public toilets on beaches during the high season – but if anyone is caught taking a toilet break elsewhere, they face a fine of up to £640.

Not only that but they are also contemplating fining those using soap in the sea, leaving rubbish on the sand, or taking barbecues or gas cylinders to the beach.

It's not the only fine Spanish councils are planning on implementing, as we previously reported that bikini-wearing Brits might find themselves in a bit of trouble on their next trip.

For instance, in Barcelona, people can only wear bikinis at the beach and if they're caught wondering around the town centre in one, they might face a fine of up to £260.

Those who love a trip to Majorca might also be in a bit of bother by getting fined a whopping £500 for not following the rules.

And by the way, it's not just bikinis that are frowned upon.

Men who walk around without a top on could also get fined.

Our advice would be to remember to put on a top as soon as you leave the sand, as fines are said to be issued on the streets just nearby the beach.

Speaking of new rules, at the start of the year, EasyJet told holidaymakers who love a trip to Majorca and Ibiza that all-inclusive-drinks resorts will be limited to just six bevvies a day.

The airline announced a ‘lunch timetable’ and an ‘evening timetable’, with only three drinks allowed during each period, in an effort to clamp down on public drunkenness.

According to the Liverpool Echo, anyone attempting to book an all-inclusive stay via EasyJet is now given a message.

It reads: “Due to a change in Spanish law which affects certain resorts in the Balearic Islands, alcoholic drinks are now limited to three per person at lunch and dinner as part of the all-inclusive basis.” 

With regards to the more extravagant fines in Spain, if you advertise party boats and balcony jumping, you might have to cough up a mega £50,000 fee.
