    Where does the article say it is limited to foreign tourists? Do you think that a Spanish lady wearing a bikini in a Salou restaurant will not get a fine because she is of Spanish nationality while a Dutch lady will get fined because she is not Spanish? And if it would indeed be that way, you're perfectly fine with it?

    Why do you think only visitors need to respect the populations' wishes, but the inhabitants themselves don't?



    Are you the same person as the one who was outraged because the burqa got banned?

    For the record: I agree with the bikini ban in Salou; I opened this thread as a parody on the burqua threads and also because I was curious about the reactions of those who oppose a burqua ban. Surprisingly, they are ok with banning a bikini, even if the only reason to ban it, is because some people deem it undecent when you wear it on the market. I wonder why banning a bikini is ok, but banning a burqua is not.
