Nudist Beaches in Barcelona

The Only Team Barcelonian, Only-Be, Practical Guide to Barcelona

To be honest, “nudism” is not really my thing. I mean, I do go topless, and I use a tanga which resembles a piece of dental floss. But my thing is more to suggest than just show everything, and it always has been. For those of you who like to show the best (or worst) of your bodies, and underneath the sunshine, my beloved Barcelona has many options and surprises in store for you. You can reach many beaches from the city – via car, train, bus you can pretty much get anywhere without any problems. Of course, you can stay in hotels on the beach – but as you imagine, during the high season, the prices rocket. Truthfully, if you are after something a bit more secluded, Barcelona isn´t your nudist option. If you want parties, chiringuitos, drinks till late and the whole city at your finger tips – Barcelona is for you. One beach just a step away from the city is Mar Bella. Only 500m long, it´s in Barceloneta, and well located, in front of a row seafood restaurants, and near lots of bars for drinking and eating tapas. It´s a very touristy area…and is full of nudists and curiosities. With its white sand, this artificial beach is a good option if you want something to near to where you are staying, and it also has wheelchair access. San Sebastian is another beach just by the city centre. Apparently one of the oldest in Barcelona, it´s also known as the Baths of San Sebastian, and is next to the Club Natación Barcelona. In spite of its... read more

Tamara Lempicka in Rome

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Roman

Until the 10th of July, the Complesso del Vittoriano Museum in Rome is showing “The Queen of the Modern,” which is organised around the work of the artist and figure most famous within the modernism movement of the 20s and 30s: Tamara Lempicka. The exhibition was commissioned by Lempicka expert Gioia Mori, and comprises of 90 paintings, 30 drawings, and 50 photographs which belong to private and public collections from all round the world. There is also documentary footage depicting the era, and the artistic scene. The show has been supported and sponsored by museums National Varsovia, Malraux in Le Havre, des Beaux Arts in Nantes, Blanton Museum of Art in Austin and the Musee d’Art Moderne de Saint Etienne Métropole. Many of the works in the exhibition have never been shown before – such as the five paintings belonging to the private collection of Jack Nicholson, and another from 1923 which has only been seen before in black and white photos. Tamara Lempicka was born in Varsovia in 1898. The daughter of a wealthy Polish family, she developed an ease with fitting in with the great salons of the era, and socialising with the bourgeoisie and artists of the time. She married lawyer Tedeusz Lempicki in St Petersburg, but the October Revolution forced them to uproot to Holland, where she assumed a liberal, open lifestyle, and took up with young lovers, bringing an end to the marriage – though the couple didn´t actually separate until many years later in Paris. Paris changed things for Lempicka. It transformed her tastes, relationships and her interests – and it was there... read more
