Can my neighbors forbid me to hang clothes or hang flags on the balcony?
We are more than used to seeing clothes hanging, flags hanging and all kinds of decoration on the balconies of most neighborhoods in Spain . We assume that it is a legal practice and that, therefore, it cannot bring consequences of any kind, beyond the fact that some neighbors are opposed to it.
But what if we tell you that it is not always legal and that, therefore, it can lead to significant fines? We tell you what you can hang on your balcony and what not, why, and what kind of sanctions you face if you decide to ignore the regulations. Pay a lot of attention.
Can I hang clothes on my balcony?
We have a deep-rooted habit of hanging clothes on the balcony . The climate that we enjoy in Spain helps it to dry quickly and, in addition, allows us to save on the electricity bill , by not having to use the dryer or electric clotheslines.
However, hanging clothes on the balcony, to the lives of passers-by, is prohibited in many Spanish towns and can be a reason for a sanction .
