Malaga's local council has just published new tourism rules to remind visitors of appropriate and inappropriate behaviour when visiting from September.

Malaga, in the autonomous community of Andalucia, is one of Spain's most popular summer destinations, welcoming around 14 million visitors by 2023. Overtourism has taken its toll on locals, leading to numerous protests against visitors.

Accordingly, the authorities remind tourists to always wear shirts when going out on the streets and in public places, and avoid going topless. Currently, visitors who go shirtless or wear underwear in public places are prohibited, with fines of up to 750 euros.

In addition, the City Council advises visitors to refrain from causing disturbances, shouting, singing or playing loud music. Visitors are also asked to respect the working hours of local residents, especially the elderly, children, students, essential workers and patients.

The government also requires anyone riding a bicycle or scooter to obey the law and not encroach on sidewalk space that belongs to pedestrians. The campaign to keep the city clean has also been launched with posters posted on the streets asking tourists to put their trash in the bins, in the right places, especially when visiting historical sites, monuments, parks and gardens.
