In this city, fines range from 300 to 1,500 euros for this type of unusual costume.
Dressing up for a special occasion and strutting around in the street is now very frowned upon. A seaside town has decided to put the kibosh on people donning one of these rather unusual costumes, often used in challenges between friends. This is particularly the case during bachelor parties (EVG) or hen parties (EVJF).
Among the activities organized, there is the traditional parade in the streets of the city center. In general, the future groom or bride is disguised and must perform different pledges. But be careful, not with just any costume. Often, men wear a disguise of a giant penis, a vulva or hold an inflatable doll representing a woman in their arms. Until then, nothing illegal, except that this accessory which has become essential for extravagant bachelorette parties or bachelorette parties can be inconvenient and cumbersome, especially in narrow streets or which are very busy with pedestrians.
A problem that a European city has been facing for several years now and which has pushed the municipality to react by putting a strict stop on future newlyweds. In this town, it is now forbidden to strut in the streets with inflatable dolls or penis or vulva disguises. The decree, which was issued on May 27, specifies that it is no longer permitted to show oneself “on public roads without clothes or only in underwear or with clothes or accessories representing human genitalia or with dolls or other accessories of a sexual nature”, reports one of the local media.
The town in question is a popular seaside resort, which is very popular with tourists and in particular by groups organizing bachelorette parties: it is Platja d’Aro, located on the Costa Brava, in Spain. If the authorities took this decision, it is not without reason. It is above all to combat certain excesses caused during these events and to facilitate coexistence between local residents and passing tourists. People who do not respect the rules face fines ranging from 300 to 1,500 euros. Quite expensive to pay for a bachelor or bachelorette party…
