"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
12 March 2007It's alright Ma, I'm only tanningDylan once came up with a line about "Even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked." This hasn't caught on in D.C., for reasons I'd just as soon not imagine, but Nudist Day reports that things may be different in Madrid:
Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, he of the socialist PSOE party, has purchased a 440 thousand Euro summer home located in Vera, Almeria. The house was purchased in his wife's name, Sonsoles Espinosa, and is in a coastal area famous for its important naturist population.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Zapatero himself is necessarily going to be getting his Vitamin D in this fashion, but how likely is it that he doesn't know about the nude use along Vera Playa?

And do you know what, Spaniards don't care because to them only scared Americans and Brits wear bathing suits at the beach. The Spanish were so repressed by Franco for so long, they have more nude beaches than any other country. And rightly so as their beaches are beautiful. My wife and I own a nudist resort in Palm Springs, CA called The Terra Cotta Inn so we know of what we write. Posted by: Tom at 11:45 PM on 14 March 2007 |
