Following a council meeting in December 2024, it was decided the region would 'test' the Draft Code of Behaviour, which explicitly bans people from being nude or partly nude in public areas.
"It is urgent to establish measures that allow us to effectively deal with the adoption of abusive behaviour, especially by those who seek the municipality of Albufeira as a tourist destination," a translated version of the document reads.
"Measures that appear to be of a preventive nature, in order to prevent the practice of acts that, by their nature, may cause undesirable damage to the resident population and the image of the municipality as a tourist destination.".
But, the city has seen its fair share of public disorder and nuisance, especially on the seaside city's strip of Albuferia, which attracts hen and stag parties from all over.
The document bans any type of behaviour that 'by its nature or effects, puts at risk the legally protected rights and interests of third parties or the safety of people and property'.
