FAQ. Semi-nudity laws in Barcelona

Updated April 2018

Is it ok in Barcelona to walk around without a top, or just wearing a bikini in the city? No. Being barechested away from the beach area is not permitted and you might get a fine. It is illegal for men to walk around bare-chested without a top, or to only wear a bikini top, except at Barcelona's beaches and on the streets very close to the beach.

Also if ladies and girls are wearing very skimpy and revealing outfits or very short skirts they might not be allowed to visit the Barcelona cathedral in the gothic area. Fines can be up to €500 for breaking nudity code, so dress appropriately to avoid problems.

Barcelona Nudity and naturism is allowed on certain beaches. Where are Nudist beaches Barcelona? There is a nudist or naturist beach on a section of La Mar Bella beach in Barcelona. The nudist beach section is marked in yellow on the Barcelona beach map.
Nudists were previously unofficially allowed on the Sant Sebastià beach in the Barceloneta area, but this was never an official nudist section and with the arrival of the luxury Hotel W and many new beach-front restaurants in that area, nudism on this Barcelona beach is not longer tolerated. A petition was started make it the second nudist beach in Barcelona but it never happened.
