There was a large tourist police presence.

And I think it is generally healthier to have it out in the open…but I'm not convinced that even the open, controlled prostitution stops the illegal flesh trade, the power of pimps, the use of children, etc etc, in any country on earth. Especially not when it becomes so inextricably mixed up with illegal immigration.

Not that I know too much about it. Its a bit like the days of "virtuous Englishmen" when piano legs were wrapped and hidden and pregnant wives were also hidden from view. Nobody did it after all!! Hypocrisy was rife in those days. Sex is an integral part of life so why are people ashamed of it?Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world however the girls get into it. There but for the grace of God etc……

I'm going to skip over the sex workers and just note that seeing the Fanta offering is an interesting mix of old and new. And that there are lots of Russian tourists in Europe, too, though that is perhaps less surprising.
