BRITS who are desperate for the loo while on holiday in Spain should avoid going in the sea – or face huge fines.
A popular holiday resort has banned weeing in the sea with fines up to €750 (£640) for anyone caught.
Vigo, a coastal region in the northwest of Spain, has issued the new warning which bans urinating "in the sea or on the beach".
It is now a minor infraction due to being a hygiene and sanitary risk, meaning tourists will be fined if they break the rules.
The city council said they would be installing public toilets during the peak season to prevent the problem.
It isn't clear how local officers will enforce the rules, but tourists could still be caught out.

Anyone walking to or from the beach on public streets in just their swimwear across Spain could be handed a £250 fine.
