We ever talked here about the nudism and naturism, ways of life that are both characterized by the practice of nakedness in common. We clarify then that both things are not the same, basically because naturism is not simply walking naked but sharing, tolerating and respecting others and nature.
So, if this way of life interests you here we leave you information about the naturist villages, what are they and add some examples in Spain.
What is naturism?
There is not much more to add to what we said above, but it is necessary to make it clear that naturism and nudism are not equivalent. Nudism is about undressing nothing more, without any philosophy in it, while Naturism is considered as a lifestyle that goes hand in hand with nature and with the human race.
That is why we speak of tolerating and respecting and sharing life or certain moments of it in community, for example, vacations. When it comes to them, there are many places in Spain where there are naturist communities. Here walking naked is mandatory, with a few exceptions.
In these places you have to walk with a towel, to sit in common places, and respect the other being discreet and not exhibitionist on purpose. The idea is to walk naked as much of the time as possible (at the beach, the pool or the spa), unless the weather is not right or one moves through areas such as the restaurant, a bar or the terrace.
What naturist towns are there in Spain?

If you go by bus there is a service twice a day from Barcelona passing through Igualada, and another daily from Tàrrega to Guimerà and Vallfogona.
Belongs to a private group that has shaped the community since 1998. Everyone goes naked, from the mayor to casual visitors.

True Nature
It is located in eastern Almería and is one of the best naturist destinations in Europe. There are different developments with different services, with a beach, gardens, swimming pool and much more.
Vera Natura is in Almeria so you can get there in several ways. The airport is 45 minutes away, you can use the bus from Almería, there is a service every half hour, you can also go by taxi or rental car.
Inside the naturist village you will find: a supermarket consume, a bar restaurant which is open every day from breakfast to dinner, with great views of the sea. It is in the very center of the naturist beach so you have it at hand throughout the day.
There is also a couple of beach bars, the Vera Natura, open all day, made of wood and with a very popular terrace; and El Pirata, right next door, with a young atmosphere and music, which rents hammocks and offers water sports services.
The beach has loungers that are rented at good prices, there is a ice cream and soft drink kiosk which also sells vegetarian food and various beach items, a store that rents water games and several public telephones, one in front of Natsun's office and another in the Vera Natura reception. So far these are all the services and facilities that are located within the naturist space.
I highlight this because Vera Natura is a company that rents private properties in six private urbanizations in Playazo de Vera, including this one that is naturist.
Estepona
This site is Malaga and enjoys a very good beach. Here is the Costa Nature Hotel, frequently visited by German and French tourists, so you'll have a bit of international company.
It was built in the '70s of the 196th century and although it was planned in a big way, in the end only XNUMX houses were built. The Cowboy Creek Beach, is 2500 by 30 meters and is the well-known naturist beach in the area since 1979, so It is the first in Spain with this name.
It is not that it is mandatory to practice naturism or nudism to enter the hotel, but it is true that most of the activities that it proposes are within that framework, so there is no way to escape when it comes to taking off your clothes.
This October the Arroyo Vaquero beach is being the subject of controversy because it seems that they are going to install a beach club a few meters from the nudist beach and the new business does not want people to be naked when renting their hammocks, for example .
The resort town is on the beautiful Costa del Sol, in the south of the country, with a boardwalk studded with palm trees. The port is sporty and has its fair share of restaurants and bars and a pretty old town.
Campsite El Portús
This campsite is in Murcia, 10 kilometers from Cartagena. It is a family site where you can practice naturism in different beaches such as Cala de los Dentoles, Parreño Beach, Negrete Beach, Cala Aguilar or El Portús Beach itself.
