Ladies' Night
A girls' night out has become official policy in a small southern Spanish town after the mayor announced yesterday he would ban men from going out on a Thursday night.
The radical move by Javier Checa will see any men who go to bars in Torredonjimeno between 9pm and 2am on a Thursday evening fined by the local police.
Mr Checa has explained that he expects the town's men to stay at home on Thursdays to look after the children and do the washing up.
The women, on the other hand, are to be given a free run of the town's bars and night-clubs which, presumably, will be free of the opposite sex.
Money from the fines will go towards groups that deal with domestic violence and equality between the sexes.
El noche de las mujeres.
