Holidaying Brits have been told to dress properly when out in public in the Costa del Sol.

Billboard posters have been put up around Málaga.

They tell visitors, in English, to “Dress completely.”

The instructions read: “Both on the street and in public places always wear an upper garment for respect and hygiene.”

The posters have sprung up all over the Spanish resort.

They show drawings of a man and a woman wearing t-shirts.

The initiative came from the local authorities.

The instructions are written in English first and Spanish second, suggesting that Brits are the main offenders.

Thousands of Brits head there for summer holidays every summer.

From January to August 2023, 821,907 British tourists stayed in hotels and apartments on the Costa del Sol.

Brits are the top nationality when it comes to overnight stays in Málaga, as reported by Need To Know.

The campaign comes as fed-up locals take snaps of topless tourists on city streets and post them in anti-tourism groups on social media.

Walking topless or in just underwear around Málaga was made illegal in 2023.

The law stipulates a fine of up to €750 (£645) for offenders.

However, locals worry that the law is not being rigorously enforced.
