Spain has been a popular naturist destination for many decades. And it will probably remain so for many decades to come. With a number of naturist campings, nude hotels, naturist villas and naturist apartment complexes, Spain caters to every budget and every requirement.

There are the popular naturist villages Vera Playa and Charco del Palo and the Spanish coast is dotted with official and unofficial nude beaches. Thanks to the agreeable climate, it’s also possible to get naked in Spain during the low season and the Canary islands even have naturist weather year-round.

In this guide, we’ll show you around some of the best naturist accommodations and the most wonderful nude beaches.

Welcome to Spain!

Public nudity in Spain

Spain does not have specific laws against public nudity. This technically makes it legal to be nude everywhere in the country. But of course, it doesn’t work like that. The Spanish government does have laws against public disturbance and if you’d decide to walk butt naked through central Madrid, there’s quite some chance that someone might be disturbed about your nudity.

In this case, it’s important to understand the culture and etiquette of the country. Just like few people would appreciate it if you’d walk around in speedos or bikini in any city center, also nudity is pretty much out of the question. The acceptance of nudity in Spain is mostly focused on the beaches. Topless sunbathing has been common for many decades in the country and is possible at any given beach. Naked breasts at Spanish beaches are as common as paella restaurants.

For full nudity, it’s best to check upfront whether the beach you’re planning to visit has any history with naturism or nude sunbathing. There are numerous official and unofficial nude beaches in all of Spain where you can get naked without worries. If you would decide to go skinny dipping at a beach which is not commonly frequented by naturists, it’s always best to move to the far ends, away from the crowds. Again, if you’d decide to get naked in the mids of hundreds of textiles, chances are that someone will be disturbed and that a visitor or an official will ask you to put on some clothes.

Adults-only naturist resorts in Spain

Further in this guide, you may notice that quite a number of the naturist resorts are adults-only. It’s important to mention here that this doesn’t mean that anything is happening at the resort which shouldn’t be seen by children.

In Europe and the USA, there are quite a lot of travelers (not only naturists) lately who prefer to spend their holidays without being surrounded by children. Not their own children and definitely not someone else’s. Spain is one of the first European countries to jump on that “child-free holiday market”.

Most of these adults-only resorts are guesthouses with only a limited amount of accommodations where the main focus is on relaxation, peace and quietness. Visitors of these resorts prefer not to have loud children around. Also, if someone would bring the kids, it wouldn’t be much fun for them either when they’re constantly told to be quiet.

Spain has a variety of different naturist places, some family-friendly and others adults-only. It’s always best to check this before making your reservation.

Best time to visit Spain

Some people say that it’s always a good time to visit Spain. We largely agree with that, although if you’re planning is to spend some/most/all of your vacation in the nude, you might want to visit the country in a period when chances for a good nakation are pretty high.

On the mainland, there’s a big difference between the north and the south of the country. The northern provinces have an Atlantic climate with warm summer months and lots of rain and clouds for the rest of the year. Even in the summer months, the weather in these regions can be very unpredictable. Your best chances for a skinny dip in northern Spain are in July and August.

The south of Spain, on the other hand, gets hot summers and mild winters due to its Mediterranean climate. Temperatures in the summer months easily go into the 30s (Celcius) and often reach the 40s. If you’re planning an active vacation you might want to avoid these months. Also, the Spanish Costas run full of tourists during high season and the possibility to get naked on the beaches becomes less. The best time to visit the southern regions of Spain is definitely in spring or autumn.

The Balearic and Canary islands have agreeable weather year-round and it’s not uncommon to be able to get naked here while the rest of Europe is covered in snow. Strong winds can sometimes keep the temperatures pretty low though. Unless you like big crowds, it’s also advisable to visit the islands outside of the high season.

Nude beaches in Spain

We already mentioned that Spain does not have a specific law against public nudity. This means that technically every beach could be considered clothing optional. As long as nobody is offended. If you plan to get naked on beaches that are not regularly visited by naturists, it’s best to walk away from the crowds before dropping your pants.

Lots of the Spanish beaches are frequented by naturists or have a section where it’s common to sunbathe nude. It’s impossible to list all of them here and some also heavily depend on the season. During the high season when lots of textile travelers visit Spain, it’s advisable to pick out the more popular nude beaches.

In this section, we’ll give you an overview of popular nude beaches in every region of Spain.

What to eat in Spain

Spain is well known for its excellent cuisine and the Spanish love to eat. They eat all day long, except probably at the times when you’d like to have your lunch or dinner. Especially in the southern provinces, the Spanish dine late. Very late. It could well be that you find yourself in an empty restaurant at 8 pm and that when you leave around 11 pm the place is packed. When in Spain, eat like the Spanish and enjoy in-between meals. These are typical mealtimes in Spain: 7am – 9am: Breakfast (desayuno). Often bread, croissants or baked sweets. 10am -11am: Morning snack (almuerzo). Often a coffee with a tostada/sandwich. 1pm – 3pm: Lunch (la comida). This is a very important meal for the Spanish and often includes 2 or three courses and wine or beer. 5pm to 8pm: Afternoon snack (merienda). Often coffee with cake or something else sweet. 8pm – 10pm: Aperitive time (hora del aperitivo). Often tapas. 9pm – … : Dinner (la cena). Often lighter than lunch and may lean more towards snacks than an actual western dinner. Dinner can take until way after midnight.

We’ve already mentioned sweet, tapas and alcoholic drinks but the Spanish kitchen is much more than that. It’s impossible to list all the typical specialties of the country, but during your next holiday in Spain you might want to taste some of the following: Tortilla: This is head and shoulders the most typical Spanish dish. An omelet made of eggs and potatoes. The Spanish have tortilla for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. Paella: The second typical Spanish dish comes in many different variations. The original version from Valencia is with rabbit and chicken meat but other coastal regions started to add fish and seafood to the plate. Albondigas: While Sweden is definitely the meatball capital, the Spanish version with spicy tomato sauce is definitely a great dish as well. Gambas al Ajillo: Especially in the coastal regions, this shrimp dish with garlic oil is very common on the menus. This dish is best if it’s shared if you know what we mean. Jamón: Spain has numerous great types of ham of which the Serrano and Iberico might be the most popular. A ham plate is a typical tapa but often also dinner as well. Gazpacho: “Waiter, my soup is cold!”. Never make that mistake when dining in Spain, because this cold tomato soup is one of the country’s most typical dishes. Rabo de toro: This is another traditional dish, especially in the south of the country. Oxtail is praised for its juicy meat and rich taste. Mallorquin Tumbet: Meanwhile you may have noticed that the Spanish kitchen doesn’t really favor the vegetarians and vegans. This typical dish from Mallorca, however, uniquely consists of potatoes, peppers, aubergines and olive oil. Patatas Bravas: Baked potatoes with a spicy sauce. This is the Spanish version of French fries. Croquetas: Another popular Spanish snack is the croquettes. Typically they are made with breadcrumbs, potatoes, bechamel sauce and any leftover food. Popular fillings are ham, cheese, fish and sausage. Pan con tomate: The problem with pan con tomate is that nobody believes that just bread with tomato can be tasty. And that’s true. But the Spanish version is much more than that, the mix of salt, olive oil, tomato and toasted bread is just excellent. Chorizo: The spicy paprika flavored Spanish sausage is eaten in many different ways. You can have it alone or with bread and it’s a common ingredient of many Spanish dishes. Pulpo a la Gallega: A popular dish in northern Spain. It’s boiled octopus soaked in paprika, salt and olive oil. Churros con chocolate: These sweets covered in chocolate sauce are probably the best-known desert of Spain and also a popular breakfast.

As you probably already figured out, food is very important for the Spanish. But so are drinks. Lots of Spanish wines have international fame, but the following typical types are definitely worth a try: Sangria: A sweet red wine with chopped fruits. Often also orange juice or brandy is added. Cava: A sparkling white wine. This is the Spanish version of Champagne. Tinto de Verano: A refreshing mix of red wine with lemon soda. Sherry: A strong sweet wine made of white grapes. Typical for southern Spain.

Getting to Spain and around

Fly

Most large cities in Spain have international airports connecting to all over Europe. If you are arriving from outside of the continent, you will probably have a connection in either Madrid or Barcelona.

Several low-cost airlines like Ryanair, Vueling and Volotea make air travel in Spain ridiculously cheap. Often much cheaper than driving.

Sail

The company Brittany Ferries has several weekly connections from the UK to northern Spain. With the Italian company Grimaldi Lines you can cross the Mediterranean sea from Italy to Barcelona or Valencia. And there are numerous companies connecting Moroccan cities with Spanish ones across the sea.

Within the country, it’s possible to take ferries from the mainland to the Balearic and Canary islands as well to sail from one of the islands to another.

Drive

Because Spain has many beautiful remote regions, the country is best visited with a car. For many visitors, a drive-yourself-vacation includes a very expensive part on the French highways. Because of the many low-cost airlines and cheap car rentals in Spain, lots of visitors now prefer a fly-and-drive vacation.

In Spain you must be 18 years or older to drive a car on public roads and of course, be the owner of a driving license. Many car rental companies do require the drivers to be 21+ and have their license for at least 2 years.

All European driving licenses are accepted, as well as those from Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein. Visitors from other countries are required to have an International Driving License.

Although the Spanish are mostly very relaxed people, some of them tend to change as soon as they see a steering wheel and suddenly think that they’ve entered some kind of race. Don’t let them stress you. If they’re driving too fast, slow down a bit so they can overtake you.

Visa regulations for Spain

Spain is part of the Schengen zone, which means that visitors from the whole European union can visit the country with just a regular identity card. Also visitors from Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Lichtenstein are not required to get a Schengen visa to enter Croatia (or any other EU country).

Visitors from every other country will have to apply for a Schengen visa. This process often takes 14 to 21 days and requires a valid passport with at least 2 empty pages, proof of accommodation, proof of outgoing flights, travel health insurance and proof of financial sufficiency. Yes, it’s a lot, but in return, you’ll get a paper in your passport which will allow you to travel for 90 days not only in Spain but in every country which is part of the European Union.

Staying safe in Spain

Spain is generally a really safe country to travel to, so special precautions don’t need to be taken. However, a good portion of common sense might come in handy if you like to keep your wallet. The big cities and tourist hotspots do have a fair amount of pickpockets and petty thieves, so always take care of your belongings. Especially in places with a lot of people like tourist sights and public transport. In restaurants and bars, always keep your bags on you or connected to you.

Another great way to keep your money where it belongs is to be aware of the many scams. This doesn’t mean that you need to start seeing every stranger as a possible danger, just not to trust everybody. Following scams are particularly popular in Spain: ⚠️ The person who says he/she got robbed and needs money from you to take a bus or train or to make a phone call. ⚠️ The tourist restaurant without prices on the menu. All restaurants need to have their prices on display by law, so don’t be afraid to ask the price for a certain dish before ordering. ⚠️ The pea and cup game. This is a very popular street scam where you have to guess under which cup they have the ball. It looks too easy to be true, that’s because it’s not true. Once you know where the ball is, someone will drag your attention away from the cup (could be someone in the audience) and someone else will move the cup. ⚠️ The fake petition scam. Not only will they ask for a donation but because you’re distracted, they often pick your pockets as well. ⚠️ The lucky gift. These are often old ladies handing out stickers or rosemary. Once you accepted the gift, they ask for a donation. If you don’t donate enough, they’ll make a scene. ⚠️ The fake restaurant voucher. When you receive a voucher for a restaurant, always ask if it’s valid before ordering anything. ⚠️ The taxi fare scam. This is probably the most popular scam around the world. In Spain, all taxis need to have a meter. If they don’t, or it’s broken, take another taxi. ⚠️ The highway pirate. When on the road, another car might signal you to stop because there’s something wrong. Most often, one of the group will have a look with you under the hood while the others are stealing your bags. Always know that if something is actually wrong with your car, more than one other car would signal you. In the last several months there have been occurrences of protests turning into riots. Especially in Catalonia province. The best advice is to always stay away from protests because you never know when things might turn bad.

To have a completely worry-free experience in Spain, the smartest thing is to get travel insurance. World Nomads is a popular choice among travelers, enter your information below to get a FREE quote!

Say What? Every region in Spain has its own dialect and sometimes it hardly sounds like Spanish at all. Don’t worry, even the Spanish have issues understanding those from other regions. Luckily they have one language in common: Castellano. Regular Spanish. Following words will help you get along: Hola = Hello ¿Cómo estás? = How are you? Buenos días = Good day Buenas tardes = Good afternoon Buenas noches = Good evening/night Por favor = Please Gracias = Thank you Disculpe = Excuse me ¿Dónde está…? = Where is…? el baño = the bathroom la playa nudista = the nude beach mi toalla = my towel el bar = the bar ¡Salud! = Cheers! Adiós = Goodbye
