For those seeking isolation, head on over to Playa de los uertos
Naturist Beache, where you will find expansive, isolated beaches. For
the more "adventurous" among you, try Vera Playa Naturist Beaches,
famous for its large naturist beach. What is a naturist beach, you ask?
You might know it by another name - nudist beach. Vera Playa is known
as the center of nudism in Andalusia, and there are a number of nudist
hotels, apartments and camping facilities to choose from. Such as Vera
Playa Club Hotel Naturist Holidays
The Spanish Tourist Board estimates that around 1.5 million tourists
visit Spain every summer with the express aim of practicing naturism.
To this number can be added the estimated half a million Spaniards who
habitually or occasionally enjoying sunbathing in the buff. Andalucía
is the autonomous community with the most kilometres of nudist beach -
or we should say, more accurately, beaches where nudism is habitually
practiced. From secluded coves and busy urban beaches to great wide
sweeps of sand that disappear into inifinty, there are loads of places
in Andalucía for you to work on that all-over tan on a Naturist Beaches.
Andalucía
is also the region with the most dedicated naturist
accommodation. There are well-equipped camp-sites, apartment complexes,
rural B&Bs;, and there's even a four-star hotel. So what are you
waiting for? It's time to start working on those white bits now!

Naturism and the law in Spain Naturist Beaches
The right to dress (or not) as you see fit is enshrined in the Spanish
constitution, and theoretically you can be naked on any beach, or
indeed in any public place. In practice, if you walk starkers down a
busy High Street the Guardia Civil just might invite you to get
dressed. Some naturist beaches are officially designated and signposted
as such by local councils. However, there are many other 'tolerated'
beaches, where people traditionally sunbathe nude, and at these you
tend a get a total live-and-let-live mix of sunbathers topless,
swimsuited and nudist.
Tourist areas, ever on the lookout for ways to satisfy large and small
demands in order to foster visitor loyalty, have been adapting a number
of zones, preferably beaches, for the naturist community in order to
permit the performance of some leisure activities without exposure to
the gaze of those who disapprove of or simply are not accustomed to
nudity.

Located directly on the beach, the Hotel Vera Playa Club is situated on
the Costa Almeria at the northern tip of Andalucia, Spain's
southern-most province. The Costa Almeria is on the same latitude as
Tunis in North Africa and enjoys an exceptional climate with (usually)
good weather from early spring through to late autumn. Five kilometres
to the south is the small coastal town of Garrucha, whilst the town of
Vera is 10km inland.
The Naturist Beaches
Vera Playa Club has a good stretch of sandy beach which has been
officially designated for naturists' use and is nearly 1.6km long.
Sunbeds are available on the beach (payable).
Naturism at Vera Playa
To save confusion, Vera Playa Club has a 'dusk to dawn' dress code.
Clothing is required between sunset and sunrise. Nudity is permitted
from your room to the pool or beach during daylight hours but guests
are asked to dress for meals in the restaurant. The small parade of
shops and bars in front of the hotel is not part of the naturist area.

Spain occupies 85% of the
Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal, in southwest Europe.
Africa is less than 10 mi (16 km) south at the Strait of Gibraltar. A
broad central plateau slopes to the south and east, crossed by a series
of mountain ranges and river valleys. Principal rivers are the Ebro in
the northeast, the Tajo in the central region, and the Guadalquivir in
the south. Off Spain's east coast in the Mediterranean are the Balearic
Islands (1,936 sq mi;
5,014 sq km), the largest of which is Majorca. Sixty mi (97 km) west of
Africa are the Canary Islands (2,808 sq mi; 7,273 sq km).
Spain, originally inhabited by Celts,
Iberians, and Basques, became a part of the Roman Empire in 206 B.C., when it was conquered by Scipio Africanus.
In A.D. 412, the barbarian Visigothic
leader Ataulf crossed the Pyrenees and ruled Spain,
first in the name of the Roman emperor and then independently. In 711,
the Muslims under Tariq entered Spain
from Africa and within a few years completed
the subjugation of the country. In 732, the Franks, led by Charles
Martel, defeated the Muslims near Poitiers, thus preventing the further
expansion of Islam in southern Europe. Internal dissension of Spanish
Islam invited a steady Christian conquest from the north.
Aragon and Castile were the most important Spanish states
from the 12th to the 15th century, consolidated by the marriage of
Ferdinand II and Isabella I in 1469. The last Muslim stronghold,
Granada, was captured in 1492. Roman Catholicism was established as the
official state religion and most Jews (1492) and Muslims (1502) were
expelled. In the era of exploration, discovery, and colonization, Spain
amassed tremendous wealth and a vast colonial empire through the
conquest of Mexico
by Cortés (1519-1521) and Peru by Pizarro (1532-1533). The Spanish
Hapsburg monarchy became for a time the most powerful in the world. In
1588, Philip II sent his invincible Armada to invade England, but its
destruction cost Spain its supremacy on the seas and
paved the way for England's colonization of America. Spain
then sank rapidly to the status of a second-rate power under the rule
of weak Hapsburg kings, and it never again played a major role in
European politics.
The War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) resulted in Spain's
loss of Belgium, Luxembourg, Milan, Sardinia, and Naples. Its colonial
empire in the Americas and the Philippines vanished in wars and
revolutions during the 18th and 19th centuries.
In World War I, Spain maintained a
position of neutrality. In 1923, Gen. Miguel Primo de Rivera became
dictator. In 1930, King Alfonso XIII revoked the dictatorship, but a
strong antimonarchist and republican movement led to his leaving Spain
in 1931. The new constitution declared Spain
a workers' republic, broke up the large estates, separated church and
state, and secularized the schools. The elections held in 1936 returned
a strong Popular Front
majority, with Manuel Azaña as president.
On July 18, 1936, a conservative army officer in Morocco,
Francisco Franco Bahamonde, led a mutiny against the government. The
civil war that followed lasted three years and cost the lives of nearly
a million people. Franco was aided by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany,
while Soviet Russia helped the Loyalist side. Several hundred leftist
Americans served in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade on the side of the
republic. The war ended when Franco took Madrid on March 28, 1939.
Franco became head of the state,
national chief of the Falange Party (the governing party), and prime
minister and caudillo (leader). In a referendum in 1947, the Spanish
people approved a Franco-drafted succession law declaring Spain a
monarchy again. Franco, however, continued as chief of state.
In 1969, Franco and the Cortes ("states")
designated Prince Juan Carlos Alfonso Victor María de Borbón (who
married Princess Sophia of Greece on May 14, 1962) to become king of Spain
when the provisional government headed by Franco came to an end. Franco
died of a heart attack on Nov. 20, 1975, after more than a year of ill
health, and Juan Carlos was proclaimed king on Nov. 22.
Under pressure from Catalonian and Basque nationalists,
Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez granted home rule to these regions in
1979. Basque separatists committed hundreds of terrorist bombings and
kidnappings that continue to the present. With the overwhelming
election of Prime Minister Felipe González Márquez and his Spanish
Socialist Workers Party in the Oct. 20, 1982, parliamentary elections,
the Franco past was finally buried.
Spain entered NATO in 1982. A treaty admitting Spain,
along with Portugal, to the European Economic Community, now the
European Union, took effect on Jan. 1, 1986. General elections in March
1996 produced a victory for the conservative Popular Party, and its
leader, José María Aznar, became prime minister. He and his party
easily won reelection in 2000.
In Aug. 2002, Batasuna, the political wing of the Basque
terrorist organization ETA, was banned. The wisdom of driving the party
underground instead of permitting it a legitimate political outlet has
been questioned.
Aznar's backing of the U.S. war in Iraq was highly
unpopular-90% of Spaniards opposed the war. (Spain
sent no troops to Iraq during the war but contributed 1,300
peacekeeping forces during the reconstruction period.) Yet Aznar's
Popular Party did extremely well in municipal elections in May 2003.
The country's relative prosperity and the prime minister's tough stance
against the ETA were thought to be responsible for the strong showing.
On March 11, 2004, Spain suffered its
most horrific terrorist attack: 202 people were killed and 1,400 were
injured in bombings at Madrid's railway station. The government at
first blamed ETA, but soon evidence emerged that al-Qaeda was
responsible. When record numbers of voters went to the polls days
later, Aznar's Popular Party experienced a stinging defeat, and José
Luis Rodríguez Zapatero of the Socialist Party became the new prime
minister. Many Spaniards blamed
Aznar's staunch support of the U.S. and the war in Iraq for making Spain
an al-Qaeda target. Others were angered by what they saw as the
government's politically motivated position that ETA was to blame for
the attacks at the same time that links to al-Qaeda were emerging. By
April, a dozen suspects, most of them Moroccan, were arrested for the
bombings. On April 4, several suspects blew themselves up during a
police raid to avoid capture. In May, the new prime minister made good
on his campaign
promise, recalling Spain's 1,300 soldiers from Iraq,
much to the displeasure of the United States, which said Spain was
appeasing terrorists.
In June 2005, despite strong opposition from the Catholic
Church, Spain legalized gay marriage. (Three other
countries permit same-sex marriage: Belgium, the Netherlands, and
Canada.)
