Urgent holiday warning as Brits face huge fines for an easy mistake walking around Majorca
HOLIDAYMAKERS could be slapped with a whopping £2,500 fine for making a simple mistake in Majorca.
Brits are being warned not to strip off in the heat - as strolling around the Spanish island topless could see them hit with a hefty penalty.
According to the Majorca Daily Bulletin, people are only allowed to go topless on the beaches.
It means they should be fully clothed when they visit town centres or go sightseeing to avoid getting shirty with the cops.
Anyone without a top on or wearing a swimsuit while wandering the streets could face a fine of up to £2,500 (€3,000), CNN reports.
In some areas, walking from your car to the beach not fully dressed is also banned, so it's best to stay covered up until you hit the sand.

Back in 2018, Majorca penned a new list of rules to encourage tourists to "act responsibly" - and brought in substantial fines for unruly holidaymakers.
Palma’s mayor, Antoni Noguera, said at the time: "We will attack the tourism of excesses head-on.
"We will have the tools to avoid giving the wrong image of our city. It will help us improve Palma."
The same rules apply in Barcelona - people can only wear bikinis on the beach, and holidaymakers caught wearing one in the town centre could face a fine.
