Tourist's shocking behaviour sparks fury
Locals were left fuming after a picture of a tourist wearing next to nothing while shopping down a busy street went viral in Palma, Mallorca.
The man confidently made his way through the sunny city centre in nothing but a pair of Speedos and shoes, surrounded by others who were fully dressed.
“Please arrest these near naked people,” one woman wrote.
“Or the shirtless, near nude, bikini wearing morons who wander around markets, towns and shops. Ukkk! Quality tourism can’t come soon enough!" she added.
“Another moron that should be banned from the island," another commented.
“If the government/police were serious, they could slowly improve Mallorca by banning all these types of idiots.”
Another local added that tourists would not behave like this at home and that his behaviour displayed a “lack of respect” typical of many tourists.
Others were confused about where the holidaymaker was keeping his wallet as it seemed like he only held on to his phone and a red garment.
One local even asked why he wasn't arrested, and someone replied: “Mallorca has some great laws in place. Unfortunately, nobody seems to enforce them.”
It is illegal to only wear a bikini or swimming shorts in some public parts of Spain – including the Balearic Islands.
Tourists can cop a fine of up to $1000 for wearing swimwear or going shirtless anywhere but the beach.
The incident comes after weeks of furious anti-tourist protests, with residents in the Tenerife saying they are “fed-up” of “low quality” Brit tourists who only come for the cheap beer, burgers and sunbathing.
