Spain 🇪🇸

Country District Guide

Spain's adult industry thrives within one of Europe's most famous legal vacuums. Prostitution operates in a vast 'grey area' where the act of selling sex is neither legally permitted nor explicitly banned. Brothels openly function under the guise of 'clubes de alterne' (hostess clubs). In 2015, the controversial Citizen Security Law ('Ley Mordaza') introduced enormous administrative fines aimed at curbing highly visible street prostitution by penalizing the solicitation of services in public sectors.
