British tourists setting off on holiday to popular destinations have been warned they could face fines if they break rules surrounding sunbeds.
Britons travelling to Spain this summer may want to think twice before rushing to bag their choice of sun lounger.
Tourists caught reserving sunbeds at certain spots in the country could now fined €250 (around £216), according to travel insurer Tiger.
The rule has been enforced across Barcelona and Costa Blanca.
According to the travel insurer, the order was introduced following “numerous” complaints about sunbeds being reserved for hours with no one in sight.
In Italy meanwhile, the wearing of swimwear outside of beaches and pools has been banned.
Tourists who break this rule at popular spots including the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento face fines of up to €500 (about £432).
It comes as British holidaymakers have been urged to return to Spain after the country’s much-loved tourist resorts have been left “completely dead” by anti-tourist protests.
Protests have been held throughout the Balearic Islands, including Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza, as well as the Canary Islands and mainland cities such as Barcelona.
