Malaga has introduced behavior rules for tourists: what is now prohibited in the Spanish city
The Spanish city of Malaga has launched the campaign 'Improve Your Stay', which establishes new behavior standards for tourists in the city. The initiative aims to create a balance between the needs of visitors and the comfort of local residents. This was reported by International Investment.
What Malaga authorities monitor and check among tourists
The new rules cover four key areas:
-
cleanliness of the city;
-
noise level control;
-
dress code in public places;
-
responsible use of personal transportation.
The authorities of Malaga emphasize that these recommendations will help maintain a harmonious atmosphere in the popular tourist city and improve the quality of stay for both guests and residents.
New requirements for tourists in Spanish Malaga
-
Among the main requirements of the campaign is to maintain the cleanliness of urban spaces. Tourists are advised to use designated trash bins, refrain from littering public areas, and respect urban gardens, historical monuments, and street objects.
-
A separate section of the rules is dedicated to noise control. Visitors are urged to refrain from loud music and shouting, especially considering the resting hours of local residents. This section is titled 'Do Not Be Noticeable' and reminds tourists to respect the private space of residents.
-
Regarding appearance, the new rules prohibit wearing swimsuits in public places outside the beach area. The section 'Dress Completely' is designed to maintain a proper level of culture in the urban environment.
-
Another important requirement is the prohibition of riding scooters and bicycles on pedestrian paths. This rule is intended to ensure pedestrian safety and regulate traffic in the central parts of the city.
For now, the authorities of Malaga are not imposing fines for violations of these rules, but the city has experience in applying strict measures. For example, in 2024, people were fined here for washing their feet and animals in drinking fountains.
Previously, we reported that tourists in Greece face fines of 1000 euros.
