El Portus Naturist Site, Spain
I have been going to this wonderful place for over 20 years, and can heartily recommend it.
It is situated in the south-east of Spain, right on the coast just south-west of the old Roman city of Cartagena, in the province of Murcia. This part of Spain has probably the warmest coastline because it is a long way south but it is not affected when the cool wind blows from Gibraltar along the south coast. In July and August, when I go there, days are nearly always sunny from dawn to dusk, and the temperature varies from 32C (90F) in the afternoon to 24C (76F) at night. (For people who don't like such high temperatures, June and September would be preferable – but even the winter months are not dissimilar to an English summer!).
To get there, you can either go by car (and tow your caravan) via motorways all the way from Calais, or take a ferry to Santander or Bilbao, and drive from there, or go by plane from Birmingham to Murcia and either hire a car or take a taxi to the site.
There is a camp shop which sells almost everything you might need, and a restaurant and bar which are very reasonable – so you don't really need to leave the site at all during your stay. The beach is 100% naturist, and is virtually used only by visitors to the site.
Accommodation varies widely from luxury apartments on the one hand (with air conditioning and heating) to camping on the other. Full details of the site, together with prices per night, can be found on their new website at www.elportus.com, but if you would like more detailed (and perhaps more accurate) information, please don't hesitate to ask me at an SVSC swim, or phone me on 01452 522896.
To contact the site, telephone Reception on 0034 968 553053 (they speak quite good English), or email elportus@elportus.com. The address is 30393 Cartagena, Murcia, Spain - but the postal service is by no means as good as ours!
