Guardamar del Segura

by benidormone

In Guardamar del Segura is the best nudebeach I've ever been in Spain. Its about 80 km from Benidorm, with a car you're there in less than an hour. Its located between Santa Pola and Guardamar del Segura in a place called La Marina (part of Guardamar). When you arrive in in La Marina look for the signs of camping La Marina. Take the street to the right in front of the camping, there you'll see the signs for playa La Marina (Els Tossals Beach). At the end of the road you can park your car and 250 meters to the right starts the nudebeach. Its avery long beach, it took me twenty minutes to walk from the beginning to the end. Its a nice white sandy beach, with palmtrees and behind the beach are dunes and pinewoods. Even on a Sunday or a public holiday there is space enough for everyone. To all of you, if you go to a nudebeach don't wear swimwear because there are still much more textile...

Sitges

by benidormone

Why not go to Sitges? The center of Sitges looks still very Spanish. Lots of shops, restaurants and of course the beautiful church. For those who are interested Sitges has also two small nude beaches. Its also one of the popular destinations for gay people, but you don't have to be gay to enjoy Sitges.

The Balearic Islands' archipelago is situated south-east of Europe, in the central part of the western Mediterranean basin.

Tenerife is a fascinating island, the largest of the Canary Islands, has an area of 2.057 sq km and a population of almost 750.000. It’s situated 200 miles off the west coast of North West Africa. It is dominated by Mount Teide, the extinct volcano that stands at 12,198 feet high (3718m), being the highest mountain of Spanish territory. Its peak can be seen from all of the other Canary Islands.It offers great forests, exotic fauna and flora, deserts, mountains, volcano’s, sometimes snow, incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches.This island has singular characteristics; the South is hot, dry and arid and with great beaches;the North is green and fertile, and rains occasionally.When I had been in Tenerife I stayed in Puerto de La Cruz which is in the north of the island.
