Playa De Las Balmins is one of three gay beaches in Sitges, Spain — and it’s clothing optional, too. I never really thought of myself as a nudist. I don’t have a problem being naked in public — in a sexual context, at least — but casual nudism made me a little nervous. It’s not only because I’m a “grower,” but, rightly or wrongly, I also equate nudity with sex . . . and I can’t help but become erect. But, being in Spain, I decided that it was time for me to get over these fears and just get naked — I have nothing left to hide.

A 50km drive through the countryside led us to the coastal village of Bolnuevo where there were some interesting rock formations behind the beach. That was the main reason we came here and to be honest they weren’t that special as there was a big carpark between the beach and the rocks and they were fenced off too. To the journey worthwhile we decided to go for a walk along the coast. It turned out to be a lovely route with some of the prettiest beaches we’ve seen in Spain. The beaches were more pebbly than sandy but that just accentuated the turquoise colour of the water. We were enjoying the walk so much that we decided to continue to three more little coves. As we arrived the water was twinkling in the sun and the palm trees were swaying in the wind…it seemed so perfect until we saw a naked man walking across the beach. It was a bloomin’ nudist beach so it meant I couldn’t even take photos of the pretty beach.
