![]() Thus, I do not think it proper for the Spanish experts to forewarn against wearing shorts. Clearly, international decorum still applies and so going to a restaurant, the theatre, a church, or even a museum is perhaps not the choice option. Certainly, any tourist desiring to wear shorts on his trip to Spain should not have any qualms about touring the city in shorts. In light of this, I would suggest that shorts are becoming increasingly accepted as a perfectly adequate item of clothing in the scorching Spanish sun. What strikes me as odd is that the two people, although convened that they are Spanish experts, do not have Spain as a home base whereas the two posters refuting the assertion that shorts are frowned upon are based in Spain. Bottom line to all you guys who will be visiting Spain wear what you are comfortable with and make sure you look really good and wear long pants before going out for the evening would be my advice. I believe we all should be more tolerent on this issue personally. Yes I am a tourist who is dropping a lot of money into the economy and if I look like a tourist why would you not treat me as an equal. I believe the shorts topic for men puts a lot of tourists off and appears to show arrogance that makes most non - Spainish tourists uncomfortable. I don't pretend to understand the culture as a true Spaniard would, but my take on this is that shorts below the knee are pretty much acceptable everywear during the day but in the evening shorts are definitley forbidden. Although I did not wear shorts, I would estimate that at least 1/2 of the men I saw during the day had some version of shorts on. We stayed at the Hotel de las Letras and so we spent a lot of time in the area. I have just returned from a great trip to Spain and we spent a week in Madrid.
