Spanish holiday home naturists wrong to insist on nudity, court rules

Judges say policy for communal areas had a distressing effect on those who did not wish to practise them

Spain's supreme court has ruled that a group of naturist property owners at a holiday home development was wrong to insist communal areas could only be used by naked residents, and wrong to hire security guards to police access to the shared swimming pool.

The decision came after eight people in the development in the Andalucian province of Almeria took legal action, claiming the enforced nudity policy violated their basic rights.
