Street drinking and rough sleeping: What you could now be fined for in Albuferia

  • Albufeira, Portugal, introduced new legislation on June 24 to curb antisocial behavior among tourists.
  • Holidaymakers can face significant fines for actions including wearing swimwear outside beach or pool zones, drinking alcohol in the street, and public urination.
  • The new code of conduct aims to prevent 'excessive behaviour' and protect the municipality's image as a tourist destination.
  • Signage will be installed throughout the resort, and an initial grace period will involve warnings before fines are issued.
  • This initiative follows a viral video of naked dancing and aligns with similar measures adopted by other European tourist cities like Barcelona and Dubrovnik.
