Gran Canaria’s new tourist rules include bans on swimwear and public drinking

A popular holiday destination in the Canary Islands has introduced new rules to ensure tourists behave themselves while away.

Mogán, a Spanish island in Gran Canaria, welcomes thousands of excited holidaymakers each year.

It has a number of popular hotspots like Puerto de Mogán – an attractive harbour town with a yellow sand beach and stunning blue waters.

However, the island also attracts plenty of British stag and hen dos who aren’t best known for their polite behaviour…

Now, Mogán authorities are cracking down on bad behaviour and implementing new rules that could land people with heavy fines.

Firstly drinking in the street will no longer be allowed as well as sleeping in public spaces like on deck chairs or the beach.

Holidaymakers will also not be allowed to dry their swimsuits or towels on balconies – so you’ll have to hang them in the shower instead.
