Apologies if there is a thread already about this (though I obv haven't seen it) but I've just read about this today, and I think it is a brilliant idea........:)
I can't post links etc, don't actually know how to, but it's from the Daily Mail today and it said that Majorca is cracking down on tourists wearing swimwear whilst out walking around the town etc.
People will be fined if they're seen walking around the town, going into bars and restaurants and have failed to cover up and put on appropriate clothing. This applies to both men and women.
As far as I'm concerned, I think it's a good thing. Whether you're fit and toned, or fat and flabby, I think walking into bars and restaurants wearing your swim wear can't be a good thing
I can't wait for it to happen in other places now.......
Does anyone else think the same?

I agree with what they're trying to achieve
Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, Majorca.
Couldn't have said it better myself. For a country that is on it's arse financially it's not the best move.
I get that there'll be loads of people that won't like it. But on the other hand, I'd hate to be a bar/restaurant owner over there and be serving people with absolutely no etiquette, and see them sitting at a table wearing next to nothing.
And it wouldn't matter if they're attractive or not, it just looks all a bit common to me, and i imagine all the locals say "oh look, here come the English"!
As soon as you get off the plane on your holiday it's deemed acceptable to walk around shopping in your undies
The locals probably actually say 'Here come all the folk who keep our country from going bankrupt, let's not upset them too much'.
As for ridiculous, it covers an area that wouldn't be much affected anyway. But if it covered a tourist beach it would mean not being able to walk to the beach or back to your hotel without getting fully dressed. Nothing to do with bars and restaurants.
100% in favour too. I don't have a problem with people being topless or wearing skimpy swimwear on beaches or by the pool but they should put some form of cover up on when they leave such areas.
There are very very few people who look good in skimpy swimwear and if I had a bar or cafe and people were coming in nearly naked I would hate it. I've seen old men of about 80 in thongs (just like on Benidorm), massive old ladies with skins like leather and men with who look like they're expecting sextuplets and it's not nice. Teenage girls with flabby blancmange bellies and thighs are also equally offensive to the eye.
What's so hard about pulling on a T shirt or a cool, loose kaftan type top.
I'd pass a law to make sure that always happens.
They mentioned swim wear and my husband wears swim shorts as normal shorts, are they going to disallow that?
I however wear a bikini and put on shorts/kaftan type top over it. However if I am at the poolside I will only put on my shorts to go to the bar, I know that is different.

Here come the English? Better add the Scottish, American, German, and pretty much every other nation on earth.
Oh and add to that the locals who do it as well of which in the height of the summer months are most of them in the young age bracket.
As said, a stupid law which will kill their tourism industry.
I go abroad often, and until this silly law came in, i can't say i even thought about this before. I'm too busy enjoying my time away rather than looking for things to moan about.
Your hatred of the human form is your own problem.
Do these people walk round their local shopping area dressed like this when it is warm in UK ?
Oh wait...
I've already said It doesn't bother me what people wear on the beach. However, if I'm sitting in a cafe and a near naked person pushes past my chair I don't like it. I also don't like seeing such people pawing food in supermarkets.
