Does this count as an anti-view?

With all the talk over its late opening, stonking views and questionable levels of service, you’d think you’d heard it all about the W Barcelona. Not so.

A friend of ours stayed there a couple of weeks back, and returned with the revelation that the beach it sits on appears to be a nudist beach. Que?

We didn’t quite believe her until this morning, when she sent over this picture, taken right outside the hotel. And while we’re doing our best to concentrate on the seagull (nice composition, btw) we’re acutely aware that she might not have been exaggerating.

Her verdict:

I didn't see an official nudist beach sign or anything - but there was a lot of naked people and they weren't getting arrested

Kept that one quiet, didn’t you, W? Maybe it’s because middle-aged nudists aren’t quite as sexy as the hardbodied exhibitionists we’re more used to.

She also snapped a more conventional view from her bedroom window here. Good job you can’t zoom in!

Nudity in Barcelona

The beach in front of W Barcelona is not a nudist beach however nudist activity occurs as on all beaches in the city. The reason is for is that in Barcelona there is no law that forbids nudity in public areas. There is even a completely tattooed French person, already quite famed in the community, who always walks completely naked through the city. Nevertheless, there is a beach in Barcelona where most nudists are concentrated which is Platja Mar Bella on the other site of Puerto Olímpico.

I am not a prude

I too wonder what people are thinking. I am not a prude by any means, but, the cover up leads more for your imagination and is far more beautiful than the sight of a naked body.
