It could spell the end of the so-called 'looky looky men'
Spain is set to impose fines on tourists who purchase goods from unlicensed vendors in a new crackdown that could see bargain hunters missing out on the classic holiday knock-offs of premium brands. Undercover police officers will be patrolling the streets of Costa Blanca, issuing penalties to unsuspecting shoppers.
Plain-clothed police will be conducting patrols throughout the city during the peak summer holiday period, and individuals caught buying from unlicensed 'manteros' will be hit with immediate fines of up to €200 , reports Birmingham Live.These sellers are locally known in Spain as manteros or 'top mantas' because they typically display their goods on top of blankets spread out on the street.
