The correct term to describe the real situation of prostitution in Spain is alegal , that means, it is not illegal or legal. It may seem silly, but the truth is that it is very clear and we will explain it in a very simple way:
Prostitution in Spain is not a crime, as long as it is not done near sites intended for use by minors, such as schools or parks. In addition, in some areas of Spain, such as Barcelona, the use and solicitation of sexual services in any public thoroughfare is punishable, with fines for clients and prostitutes ranging from € 750 to € 3000.
In Spain the safest thing will always be to go to a place where we can exercise our rights and, above all in Barcelona, where there are licenses so that the activity of sexual benefits can be exercised in them.
Prostitution free is not reflected in the Spanish Penal Code (hence its alegaly ). The crimes that are very well specified are the prostitution of minors , the forced prostitution in adults and also the fact of benefiting from another person who practices prostitution even if he does it voluntarily (exploitation), or what we all know as pimps and mafias.
For all this, and to make it much clearer, let’s briefly explain how Apricots works, not only for customers, but also for girls who do not know the regulations. The Apricots brothels work exactly like any hotel for hours, that is, with fixed room rental rates per hour so that anyone can use the facilities in the same conditions.
We want to take this opportunity to explain some of the practices used by many girls’ houses, which, although they have been very standardized for years, are not legal.
- Charge to percentage is a crime .
The house has to have fixed rental rates for the time of use of its facilities. - That the house charges the client and pays the girl, is a crime .
The girl has to charge the client and then pay the room rate according to the time she wants to occupy it.
The house never has to charge more depending on the service the girl does in the room. - That the money of the girls be retained for a while, even if it is only one day, it is a crime .
The house can never hold money, in any case. Since the girl is always the one who has to charge and will never have to give her money to anyone, she will only pay the room rate. - That the documentation of a girl is withheld, is a crime .
The houses have the obligation to request the documentation of the girls and clients to verify that minors do not access the facilities, but we do not have any right to retain the documentation to anyone in any case. - That the girls be fined in any way, it is a crime .
Any escort company has the authority to fine anyone.
These points are some of the most important that we want to talk about it and fight to change them if you know houses that do not work that way. From Apricots we encourage you if you have any questions contact us to try to give you the advice you need, regardless of whether or not you are our clients, and also, of course, whether or not you are girls who are currently using any of our facilities .
