Public nudity in Spain is, in fact, legal. This means that technically, you could even walk around the streets of Madrid in your birthday suit if you so desired. However, it's not all black and white. Spain has laws in place against public disturbance, which means that if your nudity provokes or disturbs others, you could potentially face legal consequences. In reality, while public nudity is tolerated in Spain, it's mostly confined to designated nudist beaches and naturist camps.

Some local authorities have tried to restrict nudity on beaches. I don't know your source. But perhaps what you are reporting is an attempt to restrict naturism/nudism only to the "recommended" areas.
