Bikini Ban In Majorca Could Force Semi-Nude Tourists To Cover Up

Majorca Proposes Bikini Ban Because Locals Are Sick Of Seeing Semi-Nude Tourists

Newsflash people: Not everyone wants to see your bikini bod, no matter how proud you are.

At least not in Majorca, where the Palma City Council has proposed a ban to bikinis in public spaces (aka NOT the beach) to help curb the less-than-lovely sight of all those tourists running around letting it all hang out.

Of the proposed ban, which is expected to be enacted before the busy summer holiday season, Alvaro Gijon, Palma's deputy mayor, reportedly told those gathered at a press conference, "I do not know of any upscale resort town that allows this practice," CNN reports.

The fines don't come cheap, either. SeeMallorca.com reports that fines could be up to 600 Euros. Time to go buy some coverups!
