A word to the wise about Spanish Beaches and Nudity.

All the public beaches in Spain are free to use, and by law are also clothing optional. (The right to be naked in any public place in Spain is a part of the human rights of every person in Spain. This includes: publicly owned beaches, rivers, forests, lakes, even streets and town squares!)

Most nudists/naturists will be found at one end of the public beaches, or to avoid distressing delicate non-nudists will choose one of the many secluded coves for sun-bathing. So, do not be suprised if you see full nuidty on any beach, as the braver nudists will not hesitate to sunbathe where-ever they wish.

There are many beaches which have become accepted as "nudist", and it is normal for naturists to use these beaches rather than upsetting the prudish textiles.

If someone complains to the police about your nuidty, you will be safe from prosecution unless you are comitting an indecent act, the police themselves are liable to civil action should they stop a person nude sunbathing.
