Spain holiday warning for Brits over 'illegal' clothing - including in burka ban areas (Image: Getty) British holidaymakers in Spain have been issued a stern warning over potential £500 fines for going shirtless. The Foreign Office has clarified: "In some parts of Spain it’s illegal to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts. Being bare-chested is also illegal in some areas in Spain.

You could be fined if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or adjacent streets." "For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain do not allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside.

" Depending on your location within the country, fines can reach up to £500 for anyone disregarding the ban. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
