Without a care in the world he was photographed strolling along the golden mile of Palma’s shops.
Oblivious to all the curious gazes, the burly foreigner stopped in front of the shop windows of well-known brands, enjoying his peculiar - and cool - day of shopping.
The Mallorcans who happened to be passing by looked at him in surprise, and some of them, like Pedro, a resident of Llucmajor, even took the two photographs.
The foreigner, dressed in trainers, black socks and tight swimmer-style pants, was holding a red garment in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
The tourist, who was not at all bothered by the reaction of the general public, wandered down Jaume III and turned down the Born.
He apparently showed a great deal of interest in some of the expensive boutiques but did not buy anything.
One can only wonder where he had his wallet!
On the British FCO’s website in warns Britons that in some parts of Spain, such as the Balearics, “it’s illegal to be in the street wearing only a bikini or swimming shorts.
Being bare-chested is also illegal in some areas in Spain.
You could be fined if you’re caught wearing swimwear on the seafront promenade or adjacent streets.”
This happy chap, however, did not appear to be British.

Maybe he was smuggling budgies? That said, there was a Spanish guy who wandered about Granada completely starkers, he was quite the tourist attraction, I've seen him.
@Amber your comment seems to reflect a deep-seated need to provoke and seek attention, possibly stemming from personal insecurities. Lashing out with inflammatory remarks often indicates unresolved issues within oneself... It might be worth reflecting on why you feel the need to express yourself in such a way...
@Charles, while I agree with you on most of the ideas you mentioned, I must say that suggesting that cheap flights bring lower quality people is elitist and unfair. Respect and decency aren’t determined by financial status.
Please arrest these near naked people. Or the shirtless, near nude, bikini wearing morons who wander around markets, towns and shops. Ukkk! Quality tourism can’t come soon enough!
Ohhh. White people mad 😡
AmbergrilloNationality matters because there are white nationalities that would never been seen like that. Italians, Portuguese, Poles.... I could go on. I know Italy, as an example, very well and you would never see an Italian wearing just Speedos and socks strolling around Milan, Rome or Naples. They have more style and class than that. So we label this moron German or British because he's most likely to be one or the other and in an odd way it helps to understand his attitude which is uber arrogant and superior as are many of his fellow citizens when they travel "abroad." I am constantly ashamed of some of my fellow Brits who visit here with their horrid body and facial tattoos, half-nakedness and their overbearing "I'm better than the Spanish" attitude. They are not fit to travel out of their dismal suburban towns and villages and I'm sorry for the Spanish people that have to deal with and serve them. Ryanair with its cheap flights has a lot to answer for.
@Ambergrillo Are you serious. Your comment is beyond belief.
Why does the nationality of the person have to do with this? Let's just say, this is typical "white" race behavior.
Another moron that should be banned from the island. If the government/police were serious, they could slowly improve Mallorca by banning all these types of idiots and slowly but surely the tourists figures and type of tourists would improve ie a reduction in numbers but better type of people.
Has to be German, bet my house on it.
