Privacy Notice School is almost out and the highly awaited summer holidays can begin soon – and they’re being greeted by a heatwave in the UK. With this year being the first in a while where Covid hasn’t been a major factor deterring people against travelling abroad, we bet there’s plenty of families just gearing up to pack their suitcases and take to the airport to jet away. While travelling is fun, there’s also quite a bit of rules to abide by depending on where you’re travelling to so we rounded up all the holiday rules to Brits to be aware of for the summer.

Spain In Spain there’s many rules that apply to the whole country as well as some more local ones such as a ban on using shampoo or soap at all beach showers. Plus, a new regulation could see someone fined more than £600 if they get caught short and have a wee in the sea. Shirtless people are also not permitted in restaurants and people wearing swimwear are required to put clothing on top of their swimsuit, if they want to dine in a restaurant. While leaving litter or playing a musical instrument on the beach could see you fined €300. Pet lovers should be aware that dogs are banned on many beaches. Camping on the beach or sleeping on the beach overnight is forbidden as are having a barbecue on the beach. It’s also illegal to have a drink outside, unless on a restaurant or bar’s terrace.

Majorca In Majorca’s Playa de Palma resort, restaurateurs have banned anyone from wearing football shirts from entering their restaurants, reports iNews. In Spain there’s an “all-inclusive alcohol limit” in some resorts, with resorts in Majorca and Ibiza enforcing this too. Thomas Cook has warned holidaymakers staying in Maglalluf, El Arenal and Playa de Palma in Majorca, along with Sant Antoni in Ibiza, that there’s a six-drink maximum per person per day at All Inclusive resorts there – and alcoholic drinks will only be provided during meal times.. Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Malaga, Palma and Majorca, people could be fined €300 for walking around the streets in their swimwear or just swimming trunks but no t-shirt. However, nudity is technically legal on all beaches in Spain providing it doesn’t cause offence – it is worth checking each individual beach you visit.

Ibiza There’s a six-drink limit on drinks in all-inclusive resorts, with reports suggesting drinks will only be served at meal times. The rule for all-inclusive properties within Playa de Palma, El Arenal, Magaluf, the West End of Sant Antoni de Portmany, and Ibiza, specifies that visitors are limited to three alcoholic beverages during the lunch timetable and three during the evening timetable, meaning consumers have less of a say when it comes to enjoying their pre-paid beverages. There is also a ban on dangerous activities and health practices, such as jumping between balconies, across all of the Balearic Islands.

Anyone who takes part in any such activities will be expelled immediately from the establishment and the event will be treated as a serious offence, both for those who are directly involved and for those bystanders who allow it to take place. There’s also rules that prohibit pub crawls and party boats which are famed for many during stag and hen dos. Venice Venice has just introduced a ‘tourist tax’ to those who are entering the water-based city. Around 90% of visitors to Venice are what the city calls ‘hit and runs’ – day-trippers so maximising on profit is key. The ‘entry fee’ is up to €10 (£8.50) to access the floating city. Sorrento If you’re the type of person who likes to walk around on holiday wearing their bikini to go to the shops or restaurants, then you might want to think again. Holiday spot Sorrento in Italy has taken the decision to ban bikinis and will fine people up to €500 (approximately £425) if they’re caught breaking the rules. It’s not just people who wear bikinis either, the rules also extend to anyone who walks around the town topless.
