Spain and Portugal for Visitors

The Associação Naturista de Portugal.

An all new guide to bathing naked. Almost one third of the guide is devoted to nude beaches (61) in Spain & Portugal. Detailed descriptions, directions and accommodation, illustrated throughout with colour photos. Published June 2004

Nudist campsite on the Costa Brava.

Mixed (nudist and clothed) beach in the province of Cádiz.

Nudist beaches in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, from the Club Català de Naturisme. Catalan-only.

Horrible Portuguese-only website.

That's the centre of Portugal.

Spain's first "official" nude beach.

Naturist campsite near Cartagena, Murcia.

Basque naturist association, with (surprisingly) a Spanish-only website.

The Spanish Naturism Federation has a spanking new website with heaps of information and photos available through an interactive map.

The Portuguese Naturism Federation only lists four official naturist beaches, but it is tolerated at many more.

The point of this site being precisely that Getxo, an attractive coastal town in the Basque Country, was nearly not nudist in the slightest, due to a by-law passed in 2001.

An old article about naturism on northern Spain's "Green Coast."

Site that used to be the "Virtual Naturist."

Not just nude beaches. LN is a long-established Spanish-language site, setting forth all kinds of different places where you can practise naturism in Spain.

Portuguese site, the strong point of which is a map of the country with the different beaches, campsites, and other places to practise naturism.

Old-fashioned web pages.

An old article by Luís Cortés, Spain's foremost naturism advocate.

A list, from Andalucia.com.

An interactive list leading to information about thirteen naturist beaches in the northern province of Cantabria.

Pity, esplaya.com seems to have gone to the great web in the sky. The site linked to above in its stead is nothing like as comprehensive, but is at least available in English.

A much longer list than the FPN gives.

David and Frances Fry left "the UK to sail around the world... got as far as Portugal," and settled down in the Algarve, where they now run this naturist establishment.
