Top holiday resort approves huge fines for public sex and nudity in major crackdown on badly-behaved Brit tourists

A TOP holiday resort has approved huge fines for public sex and nudity in a major crackdown on badly-behaved Brit tourists.

The Algarve party resort of Albufeira has gone to war against boozy tourists and slapped new rules to curb alcohol-fueled debauchery.

Enraged City Hall officials on Friday approved huge new penalties of up to £3,375 for holidaymakers flouting a strict new “good behaviour” code.

Hefty fines will now be imposed for everything from urinating in the street to getting naked. 

The rules will kick in within weeks, in time for the summer season, aiming to curb anti-social behaviour. 

And locals hope they will turn the tide, with nakedness, vomiting in the street and having sex in public all now coming at a heavy price. 

Badly behaved tourists who go starkers in public, or get caught bonking or simulating sex, face paying anything from £1,685 to £3,375. 

Spitting or urinating in the street will be punished with fines of between £125 and £630. 

And entering bars and other businesses topless could lead to a £1,250 levy.

Bars and cafes which let ­customers in without the proper dress code will also be fined. 

Brit tourists were first warned about the new get-tough rules in February when Albufeira’s mayor Jose Carlos Rolo announced the "Code of Conduct" plans.

Last summer, a group of partying Brit tourists put on a shocking display of public nudity, leaving the locals fuming.

Footage of their drunken antics, showing them starkers on their knees in a line on top of a bar counter, went viral.

Rolo called the display “deeply negative” and said he would call for police reinforcements.

He said last night: "Tourists who fall down drunk aren’t needed here at all."

Predictably, Albufeira is fast becoming the go-to spot for young revellers looking for a boozy break. 

During The Sun’s investigation into tourist revelry in the town, we saw how cops and medics are already patrolling the mile-long strip — nicknamed “The Chaos” by locals — to keep a firm eye on the crazy, drunken antics of holidaymakers. 

Little wonder some end up in a terrible state, as girls are plied with free drinks at many pubs in a bid to lure in paying lads, while every bar offers shots from £1.70. 

Local taxi driver Guilherme, 25, told The Sun: “Stay here more than one night and you’ll see tourists ­having sex in the street. Sometimes it’s groups of naked men on ­balconies. It’s shocking.”

Furious locals decided to bring in the new code of ­conduct after a group of ­British louts got naked on a bar top and ­proceeded to crawl around in broad daylight last year. 

It comes as a 21-year-old Brit was found dead at the foot of a set of steps in Albufeira's old town last Wednesday.

Cops are said to believe booze is behind the tragedy. 

The news, which emerged on Saturday, came days after reveller Greg Monks, 38, from Glasgow, was found dead in a ravine near Albufeira. 

He was there on a stag do and had left the party early to return to his hotel when it is thought he jumped over a wall while drunk, unaware there was a steep drop on the other side. He was missing for a week. 

The fatalities shine an unwelcome light on the more dangerous and seedier side of the Algarve resort. 

Once marketed as a family-friendly getaway, now a much younger crew of holidaymakers is descending on the cobbled streets, turning it into a nocturnal party town.
