A popular tourist city in Spain has banned "obscene acts" and "sexist costumes" after being flooded with stag and hen dos.<\/p>\n

Seville is a common holiday hotspot for Brits as the warmest city on Mainland Europe but officials claim that rude tourists are causing a major issue for locals. Conservative mayor Jos\u00e9 Luis Sanz announced that Seville will be rolling out new laws which ban stag and hen dos from wearing outfits that "violate the moral or sexual integrity of another person". <\/p>\n

He also said that the city "had no interest" in enticing foreign tourists to visit for pre-wedding celebrations, reports the Mirror. The new laws would ban people from wearing their underwear visibly in public as well as committing "obscene acts". The changes come as locals have expressed outrage at the impact of tourism on the often very religious city in its historic centre.<\/p>\n

"Anyone can celebrate their bachelor party in Seville. What we don\u2019t view favourably are groups of people dressed as whatever, with brass bands behind them, disturbing the many residents of Seville \u2014 especially in areas of the historic centre \u2014 who also have the right to enjoy their city," Sanz said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new rules mean Brits \u2013 among other foreign holidaymakers \u2013 celebrating cannot wear outfits that would "violate the moral or sexual integrity of another person". Any acts of "obscene exhibitionism" and "performance of acts that violate sexual freedom" are also to be forbidden.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet known what the penalties for the unacceptable behaviour will be \u2013 but locals seem to support the mayor\u2019s position and plans. Speaking with Spain's Antena 3 TV station, one resident said: "People come naked. You can see everything." Meanwhile a daily newspaper in the area, ABC, states that props and costumes have included inflatable penises. It stated that this "sometimes provoke looks of disgust, especially among the older neighbours".<\/p>\n

Seville is not the only town to be cracking down on stag and hen dos and other disruptive tourists. In 2014, Moj\u00e1car said it would not allow stag and hen parties showing off "phallic tiaras" or "unbecoming behaviour with inflatable sex dolls".<\/p>\n
