Nudist Beach Complaints

The Asociación de Amigos de la Playa Nudista de Cantarriján (AAPNC) registered on the 5th of October a strongly worded message for the Provincial offices of the Ministry of Sustainability & Environment statement.

The message contained objections against the decision to once again deny the sign posting for this Andalusian naturist beach in La Herradura.

If this administration does not rectify the decision, the AAPNC threatens to launch higher administrative appeals, file a complaint with the regional Ombudsman, organise public protests, and pursue legal action in court.

The association argues that their proposal is grounded in existing laws which cover managing public use and promoting beach culture. They say that the signs that they want put up are purely educational and meant to “foster harmonious coexistence” between naturist and non-naturist beachgoers, without restricting access to anyone.

Furthermore, AAPN  criticises the Junta for using Cantarriján’s naturist status as a tourism, marketing tool whilst simultaneously claiming they lack the authority to authorise informational signs on-site. and they were certainly not chuffed when they reportedly ignored an alternative proposal to let the Almuñécar Town Council fund and install the signs at the beach’s external access points.

“Cantarriján is nobody’s private preserve, just as it should not belong to the offices of the Territorial Delegation of Granada nor be a mere tourist postcard display. We are not asking for partitioning, privileges, or restricting entry to anyone: we defend a strictly informative and educational measure that guarantees the harmonious coexistence of absolutely all citizens in the public maritime-terrestrial domain, respecting the freedom of choice of each user but also valuing five decades of traditional nudist roots that not only should not disappear but should be an important part of our protected heritage,” AAPN explained.

Lastly, The association accuses the Granada office of using administrative “tricks,” such as framing the refusal as a basic report rather than a formal resolution, in order to block the association’s legal right to appeal. 

Oh, and the acronym for the Junta’s Plan de Ordenación de los Recursos Naturales is… PORN.
