Benidorm cracks down on lewd t-shirts and items in shop windowsJavier Jordá, the head of commerce in the city hall, said the crackdown was about "ensuring that minors or vulnerable communities are not exposed to offensive messages in public spaces".
The Spanish tourist resort of Benidorm is clamping down on shops that display lewd or "offensive" items in their windows - fearing that they tarnish the area's image and upset passers-by.
Situated on Spain's eastern Mediterranean coast, Benidorm is one of the country's best-known tourist destinations, drawing close to three million visitors last year.
Local laws state that shop windows "must not show products that might hurt people's moral sensitivity" and it gives as an example "sexy articles".
The most popular destinations are resorts along the Mediterranean coast, like Benidorm, or in the Canary and Balearic Islands.
