Located just outside Estepona, in Andalucia, Spain, Costa Natura Resort is arguably one of the more sought-after European nudist destinations, and in terms of amenities, it stacks-up well against many luxury naturist hotels found in the USA.
The club enjoys warm and sunny weather virtually year-round, thanks to its location on the Costa del Sol (Sun Coast). Amenities include a beach with bar, gym, restaurant and supermarket, all of which can be enjoyed in the nude. Lodging is in apartments for two to six people with rates ranging from under 39 Euros (60 USD) to over 140 Euros (216 USD). Low season is from November to mid-March.
Costa Natura was the scene of the recent conference (May 1, 2008) for the Spanish and Portuguese naturist federations.

May 17th and 18th, 2008, France will hold its first annual naturist fair at Héliomonde, a nudist club near Paris. Part trade show, many of France’s naturist businesses will have information booths during the fair. The event is organized by “France 4 Naturiste”, a coalition of 11 French clubs, including Euronat.

France is often regarded as a pioneer in nudism, even boasting a nudist city at Cap d’Agde, where anything people do dressed, you can do naked, whether it be going to the bank or the supermarket. French practisioners of the lifestyle are said to number in the millions.

All are welcome to the conference, and access to the grounds is free, although you’re required to register at the fair’s website (link below) before attending. Needless to say, full nudity will be obligatory, as clothing isn’t an option in most of France’s clubs.

VERACRUZ, MEXICO - Yesterday, a 34 year-old man visiting from Chiapas state decided to take a dip off Playa Linda in Veracruz, Mexico, wearing only the suit he was born with. As it was a day of national celebration, there were a lot people to witness the incident and it wasn’t long before the man was arrested and led away. He was released later after paying a fine.
It’s worth noting that while there’s a growing number of nudist resorts in Mexico, as well as one legal nude beach (Zipolite, Oaxaca), it’s still a fervently Catholic country where being seen naked in a public place can get you in a heap of trouble.

Phèdre is a 17th century tragedy written by Racine, one of the great French playwrights. As such, the classic has been acted-out in front of audiences thousands of times, but never like the current version running at the Salle du Faubourg, in Geneva, Switzerland: The five actors are completely naked throughout the performance.
Not only are the actors nude, but the play is “interactive”: The stage is in the center of the audience, and the performers at times walk down amongst the spectators while reciting their lines. The nudity is completely non-erotic and no effort is made to camouflage any of the actors’ physical imperfections.
The show closes today (May 4th, 2008).
