Rift over naturism laid bare by bar on Spain’s oldest nudist beach

More than 1,700 people call on officials to preserve character of Costa Natura near Estepona

More than 1,700 people have called on officials in Spain to preserve the character of the country's oldest official nudist beach in a row with a newly-installed bar they say limits the practice of naturism in the area.

The Costa Natura beach, a narrow stretch of sandy shore near the southern Spanish town of Estepona, was designated the country's first nudist beach in 1979.
