In 1979, Costa Natura near Estepona on the Costa del Sol – Spain’s first ever nudist beach – was officially opened. Since then nudity has been practised with a vengeance, perhaps as an act of rebellion against a repressive society led by a dictator, which the people of Spain had to conform to for many years. Today there are more nudist beaches in Spain per kilometre of coastline than in any other country in the world and naturists find themselves very well catered for in all areas of the coast.
