NEXT time you’re relaxing on the beach in Spain, you might want to check your outfit before leaving.
Strict rules could get you in trouble if you are wearing a bikini on holiday.

Two popular Spanish destinations have strict rules on where you can wear swimwear – with fines for any rulebreakers.
In Barcelona, people can only wear bikinis on the beach, and holidaymakers caught wearing one in the town centre could face a fine of up to £260.
Similarly, bikinis are limited to the beaches in Majorca, with fines of up to £500 for those caught flouting the rules.
Other countries such as Italy have similar rules in place regarding wearing swimwear off the beach.
It’s not just swimwear that could get you in trouble too.
Men walking around without tops on in the two areas could also find themselves being fined also.
The fines can be issued even on the streets next to the beaches so be sure to put a top on before you leave the sand.
Of course, swimwear and being topless is fine while on the beach itself.
It’s not the only law you could be breaking on holiday in Spain.
There are strict rules across Ibiza and Majorca, with Brits facing fines up to £250,000 if caught at illegal parties.
The degree of the fine can soar to the maximum depending on how much nuisance has been caused.
And holidaymakers will be slapped with a six-drink-a-day limit instead of having alcohol on tap when on an all-inclusive break.
Tourists can only have three free boozy drinks at lunch and three with their evening meal with Balearic Government chiefs say they want to improve the image of the party resorts.
You could also face a huge fine if caught smoking on a beach.
As for money, Brits are required to show that they have at least £85 to spend each day – or could be turned away at the border.
