Are you planning to travel to Spain by plane for a vacation?
Then note that the mask requirement on the plane to Spain also applies in autumn.
However, once you have arrived at your holiday destination, you can be happy because: in Spain you can still travel by train free of charge until the end of the year thanks to the zero-euro ticket.
Top 1: Forbidden in Spain – peeing in the sea
Peeing in the sea isn't just gross, it's even illegal in Spain to pee in the water.
At least in the Spanish coastal town of Vigo in Galicia, the Atlantic cannot be misused as a toilet.
Anyone caught must pay up to 750 euros because they violate the health and hygiene regulations that have been in force since 2022.
In order to keep the Galician coast clean, more public toilets are to be installed near the beach.
Top 2: Banned in Spain - Smoking on the beach
The Spanish parliament has passed a nationwide regulation designed to make it easier to ban smoking on the beach.
For example, smoking on the beach in Barcelona has been banned since July 1, 2022.
In Mallorca, too, more and more beaches are being declared smoke-free because of the increasing amount of rubbish and the risk of injury associated with cigarette butts.
Anyone who defies the smoking ban has to pay a fine of up to 2,000 euros.
Top 3: Forbidden in Spain – Walking through the city in nothing but a bikini/swim trunks
The fact that you have to stick to certain standards despite being on vacation becomes clear at the latest with the ban on strolling through some Spanish city centers in just a bikini or swimming trunks.
Restaurants and bars in Mallorca are now going one better and introducing dress codes.
Dress code in restaurants and bars on Malle:
Forbidden are...
flip flops
strapless tops
football jerseys
T‑shirts promoting specific venues
flashy clothing or accessories, such as glow-in-the-dark hats
Top 4: Forbidden in Spain – binge drinking
Even if the penalties for binge drinking in Spanish cities have so far been rather low – between 60 and 100 euros – in Barcelona, for example, 600 euros are now due for the so-called botellones (joint consumption of alcohol and celebrations in public places).
After all, if you pay the fine immediately, you only pay half.

Top 5: Banned in Spain – “Balconing”
A ban in Spain intended to save lives deals with so-called "balconing".
This refers to the practice of someone jumping straight from their balcony into the hotel's swimming pool.
This is life-threatening and has resulted in serious injuries and deaths in the past.
If you are caught in the dangerous trend on the Balearic Islands, you will pay 600 to 1200 euros in the best case, with your life in the worst case.
