A little bit harsh?

It's finally warmed up enough in Barcelona to make a day out of going to the beach. There's nothing better then laying out on the warm sand at Barceloneta Beach while catching a cool breeze from the Mediterranean Sea. Where whatever you want on the beach, practically nothing, but as soon as you walk off the beach and enter the streets of the city, you better be careful not to run into any police if your still wearing your bathing suit. The government of Barcelona has cracked down on beach-goers wandering the streets in only a bathing suit. Fines can reach up to as high 500 euros for nudists but the more modestly dressed beach goers can be fined up to 300 euros. The city of Barcelona has some of the best dressed and most conservatively dressed citizens in the world. It's hard to find a local  who wears shorts or a local who isn't dressed fancy on a weekday. The city has an unspoken dress code and finally the city has taken the steps to officially declare clothing that is unacceptable to wear around the streets. Though I do find it hard to believe that a policeman would stop a beautiful women in a bikini walking down Las Ramblas on a hot summer day and hand her a ticket for 300 euros. I think this is just a warning.
