Barcelona Bikini Trouble!


The government in Barcelona doesn't want you coming down there and showing off your bikini bodies. That's the word from Spain as the authorities crack down on tourists who walk around town in their dainty swimwear.

"In the coming weeks we are going to put up the posters in the metro, buses and in all public areas. And the mayor has sent letters to businesses, hotels, bars, restaurants ... encouraging them to download the poster and paste on their walls."
