It's such a shame there seem to be so very few pristine beaches left in Spain where people could enjoy some tranquility as well as some authentic Spanish food... the latter is caused by the fact that so many tourists are not really interested in Spanish culture or cuisine. They don't know what they are missing! ![]() |

Interesting to see in yesterday's paper that at the meeting in Valencia for the week of the family there was a suggestion that some beaches should be classified as non topless. Not for a total ban, but an alternative for those who prefer it. There are already beaches for naturists/nudists so why not for people who like to keep their clothes on?
Personally I'd let people wear or not wear what they like and ban their dogs, children, jet skis, radios, footballs. Only joking but it does highlight the slippery slope we get on once we start to regulate activities. One man's pet hates are another man's hobbies! |

![]() As I've been at the various beaches along the Valencian coast, it seems that many of them have their own personality- some more touristy, some less so, while others are family-friendly, and others not so much. So, I say, find a beach that fits you, and go often! ![]() |

Hi Ben and Marina,
I would like to thank you for the amazing podcasts you've been posting -- I enjoy every single one of them very much. I am a big fan of Notes in Spanish, as I need to work more on my vocabulary and "soul." Your podcasts in Spanish bring the "soul" of the language. For a serios language learner (and a Spanish culture lover), this is priceless. Congratulations on your admirable work. I really appreciate what you're doing! Sincerely, Sarralucia |

that is not really true. There are a lot of nice beach villages in Spain nearly without foreigners but with Spanish tourists. If you go there in June or September you can enjoy empty beaches in combination with quite origninal Spanish culture. |

Could you tell us some more about those places? I'd love to find them. Since I've got no kids who need to go to school, I can travel abroad whenever I want. |

I just listened to this podcast and found that I was able to understand casi todo. I don't know if it's because it was slightly easier...or if my Spanish is just getting better...So does indicate that I'm an Advanced Spanish student?

Interesting and true (about the Americans). I was listening to this in the gym and randomly snorted/laughed lol. I understood about 95%+ of that

Yo tuve la mal suerte de irme a Fuengirola en costa del sol. Era como visitar Miami con ingleses en lugar de americanos y creo que Miami tiene mas attracion. Yo vi por todos lados Fish and Chips, Pubs, y comida rapida en el centro. Fortunadamente yo pase solo una hora alla. Todos tienen sus preferencias y lo respeto, pero este turismo no es para mi.
