Europe’s strict ‘cover-up’ rules slap tourists with fines for wearing swimwear in the street: ‘They will get you’
When you get to the point of having to police the minutiae of behavior like banning thongs (as Cinque Terre has done) and boob tube tops and football shirts (as a restaurant group did in Mallorca) and urinating in the ocean (as happened in the Costa del Sol) you’ve got to start wondering if there is actually a deeper problem at play and whether officials are just trying to capitalize on the headwinds of Europe quiet quitting its relationship with tourists and shift the blame from their poor tourism management.
