Last summer my wife and I were in Barcelona and decided to go to Mar Bella since it's so close to the city. I went first since she was finishing her meal at the beach restaurant. I was dismayed by the number of guys there. I finally found two het couples and put my towel down near them and took a nap. When I awoke the het couples had left and I was surrounded by dudes! Fortunately my wife showed up, but she was ticked off because she had seen a guy giving another guy a blow job on her way to the beach. So I guess I'd say it's not the best beach for a straight guy.
About an hour south of Barcelona is a nude beach with camping right on the Med. just north of the city of Tarragona. You can even see naked people from the train. We didn't go there, unfortunately, but did find a very nice beach in Tarragona, which is a wonderful city, by the way. We especially liked that the beach had signs with the word "textile" (or the Spanish equivalent) and the standard red diagonal through it. I forget the name of the beach but you can search it easily. We also went to nude beaches on the island of Fomentera, but that's probably too far out of your way. My understanding is that you can go nude on any beach in Spain as long as you go off to the side and away from kids, etc. But it's always more fun to be sitting near other nudists.

Reviews tell me mar Bella (the nude beach) in Barcelona is usually crammed and mostly male so wondering if it’s worth exploring or not.
Has anyone tried any of the nude beaches around Valencia or specifically El Portús in Murcia?
Obviously I’m looking for the best places to both show my wife off and to see attractive women.
Also, one thing I always enjoy is seeing people arrive to beaches in their street clothes and somewhat discretely change into their swimsuits on the beach. Is that as common in Spain as it is elsewhere?
Any help, advice or stories would be greatly appreciated
