Tourists found using soap and shampoo at beaches could face a fine of up to €750.

But it’s worth noting that people travelling to Majorca or Barcelona may be fined up to €300 if they don’t cover up when they leave the beach.

Women in swimwear and topless men should cover up when visiting certain seafront promenades or adjacent streets to avoid the possibility of a fine.

Drinking alcohol

Thomas Cook has warned Brits who have booked an all inclusive trip that an alcohol cap will be in place to limit their drinking.

The rule will affect tourists heading to the popular holiday spots of Magaluf, Majorca and some parts of Ibiza.

The government of the Balearic Islands say they want to improve the image of the party resorts, which have a reputation for boozy behaviour.

It’s also important to be aware that drinking alcohol on the street in certain cities such as Barcelona or Madrid is banned.

Drinking on the street could land tourists a fine of up to €600.

Smoking ban

Smoking has been banned on some beaches in parts of Spain including Barcelona, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.

Keep an eye out for designated smoking areas you can use, smoking in parts of a beach where smoking is banned could result in fines of up to €2,000.
