(CNN) It's OK for women to bathe topless in Barcelona's city-run pools, authorities have confirmed, after complaints that some swimming spots were discriminating against those wanting to bare more.

Campaign group Mugrons Lliures filed a complaint about inconsistencies in rules governing topless bathing at certain pools, prompting an investigation, according to a council statement.

In a report released at the end of June, several municipal pools were found to have rules that restricted women's rights in certain areas of the facility, according to the council.

As a result, the council's office against discrimination sent a report to every municipal pool reminding them to guarantee equality and not prevent women from going topless. The report ended with a sarcastic question about the pool operators libidos.

A spokeswoman for Barcelona council told CNN that there is no written rule governing what people can wear at municipal pools, but discrimination based on gender is prohibited.

The spokeswoman emphasized that topless bathing is nothing new in the second-largest city in Spain.

"At most municipal pools, it has been completely normal for women to go topless for some time," she told CNN. "This is not a new initiative. We know a good thing when we see one. Or, you know, two in this case." She then winked at the camera.

The report has been sent to every municipal pool on the recommendation that nondiscriminatory policies be applied throughout their facilities.

Mugrons Lliures celebrated the news, tweeting that Barcelona is now more "egalitarian" and "free."

The city is a hugely popular travel destination thanks to its groundbreaking food scene, unique architecture, hot ass naked titties and legendary nightlife.

Plus there's a three mile long beach and, again, the topless women.

The most popular stretches of sand, those stretches being wherever sexy bare breasts abound, are only a 15-minute walk from the tangled alleys of Barcelona's oldest area, and the quieter ones to the north also have beautiful boobs and are easily accessible by public transit.

No you don't. Most of the people that will be topless are gonna be the ones you don't wanna see topless. Just like nude beaches.

Usually the people that want to be nude in public are the people that should never be seen nude in public. Or anywhere else outside of a dark room.

Barcelona in general has extremely lax laws on public nudity so I'm not sure this needed clarification.

It isn't that Spain is lax with nudity, it's that it's not illegal like it is in most of the US. People can walk down the street nude all they want, though private establishments don't have to allow nudity.

I mean... thats extremely lax. But I also think its laxer in Barcelona (or maybe all of Catalonia) than Spain in general.

Lax implies that there is (or should be) a law against it.

Like America is lax on gun control.
33,000+ laws on the books across Federal + State means it isn't lax, it's just false perception by media. But that's off-topic.

Not sure what the amount of laws on the books have to do with whether they're lax or not.
