Situated on Spain’s sunny Costa del Sol, Malaga has always been inundated with tourists year round and is a particularly popular hot spot for stag and hen groups. And while the residents of the Andalucia city like a party as much as the next person, the floods of rowdy holidaymakers causing mischief on the streets has worn a bit thin.

 

To ensure bit of peace and quiet for the locals and more laid-back visitors, the Commission of Social Rights of Malaga City Council has approved a proposal that will strictly regulate stag and hen dos.

 

And while the city isn’t actually banning bachelor and bachelorette parties outright, the authorities will crack down on any behaviour they deem crude or unseemly, such as going out in public naked or in underwear and carrying blow-up dolls, inflatable penises and other items of a more ‘vulgar’ nature.

 

“What it ultimately intends to do is put a stop to certain uncivil behaviors that we have been having in the city," Councillor Mar Torres explained.

 

Any stag or hen parties caught flouting the rules can be slapped with a fine, but police officers will first issue the revelers with a warning and clearly explain the new legislation. If they refuse to comply, they will be penalised.
