Barcelona Crack Down
Authorities in Barcelona are to introduce an on the spot fine for foreign tourists who break new “anti-lout” rules. Visitors caught vomiting, urinating, wandering around with open beer cans or taking their clothes off in public will be forced to either pay instant fines of upto €1,500 or have an even larger fine delivered to their hotel the next day. Some bars have already banned those who try to enter in bathing trunks or with bare chests in response to increasing anti-social behaviour by stag parties and large groups of drunk foreigners.

It sounds harsh, but I think it’s a good idea. These days the Ramblas appears more than a holidar restort gone wrong rather than the center of a modern city.
