I wore shorts when I was there all the time. The problem you might have is in sightseeing, some of the churches won't let you in unless your arms and legs are covered.

You would have been shunned if you had shown your legs in Spain 50 years ago, but nowadays, all young girls wear short shorts in the street, and also many not so young women. You can even show your breasts on the beaches because topless here it's legal, not like in the USA.

Don't worry about it.

All girls in Spain wear short shorts in summer. So you also wear Shorts.

You can wear pretty much whatever you want in Spain, but please do dress appropriately when you are not on the beach.

H ere is a current low cost Spanish fashion(sic) catalog:http://m.venca.es/Products?NavigationKey...

As you can see, your informant is talking nonsense; a common thing in today's USA where all foriegn places are filled with dangers.

I'm getting tons of conflicting opinions on Spain fashion. Some people say you'll be shunned if you show your legs but in pictures of Spanish street style, I see 20% of women wearing shorts.

I'm going to Spain in June.

I'm a wimp when it comes to heat, so I'd like to wear short-long (short in front, long in back) skirts with tops that show no cleavage. Is this acceptable??

And what about shoulders?
