In May, the city of Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca (Majorca), in the Mediterranean, enacted laws requiring that appropriate clothing be worn in public areas. Men and women caught wearing swimwear around town or going shirtless will be assessed fines of €50 to €200 (near $68-$272). The areas where fines can be given do not include the beaches, boardwalks or adjoining streets, where swimwear will still be considered appropriate.
The ordinances have also banned drinking on the streets.
