Spain Nudity & Nude beaches introduction
Spain Nudity & Nude beaches introduction
In Spain it is not illegal to walk around naked in city or beach. But more important is that by convention the practice is confined to both the official and non official nudist beaches.
Some of the nudist beaches are extremely popular, in fact more popular than nearby non nudist beaches referred to as 'textile' in by naturists.
Many of these popular nude beaches are visited by families.
Generally nude beaches are located more on the fridge of a town or even in a remoter beaches or coves between towns. Most of the coves have either a small sandy beach or have cobles or are rocky.
Often in even remoter sections of nude beaches is a gay beach
