COSTA NATURA JUNE 1997.

We're just back from a very nice vacation in the South of Spain. 
We were at Costa Natura which is a naturist site on the Costa de 
Sol just about forty minutes car ride from Gibraltar where we 
landed from London Heathrow Airpost. The resort can also be 
reached using Malaga Airport from the other direction. Going 
that way the travel time to the resort is about twice as long 
though. Our holiday arrangements were made through Peng Travel, 
the company we use for naturist holidays, and as usual these 
were first class.

On arrival at Gibraltar we left the airport and turned right for 
a short walk to the border between Gib (a British Dependent) and 
Spain. Walking is a much faster crossing than by car or bus as 
formalities are at a minimum that way. Whenever you pass the 
Spanish check point you turn right where the taxi rank is 
located. It couldn't be easier. On arrival at Costa Natura the 
taxi fare was paid by reception as the transfer from the airport 
is included in the Peng package.

We got our keys and were given directions to our apartment. Some 
of you may have read the report above about the resort by Peter 
of London where he said that the apartments seem to be in 
haphazard drifts as if scattered around the gardens by a giant 
hand. Well that statement is very true and it gives the whole 
place a very interesting visual look with none of the 
regimentation of buildings as seen in many resorts.

Our apartment could sleep four which gave us plenty of room. It 
was one floor up and consisted of lounge/kitchen and single bed 
under the stairs which led up to the double bedroom. Also on the 
lower floor was another single bedroom/sitting room. The 
apartment was very clean and well equipped. The kitchen area had 
sink and three ring hob. There was direct entry from the lounge 
and the single bedroom onto the main balcony through sliding 
windows. There was also a balcony off the main bedroom upstairs. 
All very nice as the sun shone on our apartment from about 11am 
to sunset.

The apartments are mostly privately owned and rented out to 
visitors through the resort management. You may have seen many 
of them advertised in the British Naturism Magazine small ads. 
In that case you would likely have to make your own travel 
arrangements to Costa Natura. We found the Peng package to be 
competitively priced when compared with a private let 
arrangement.

The resort has a well stocked mini-market and restaurant which 
serves very good meals beside the pool. There's a Jacuzzi in 
that area too. A new snack bar area has been opened overlooking 
the beach along from the pool area. A very nice place for a 
drink or light meal. There are areas set aside for most of the 
activities that are popular with naturists, miniten, boules 
etc..All the grounds are very well tended and the general 
atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxing. There is a large beach 
and although it is a bit stoney, it is clean. The only time you 
need clothes is in the restaurant in the evening. You can even 
shop nude in the mini-market. 

If you don't have a car it is very easy to visit places of 
interest in the Costa del Sol area. Reception can arrange coach 
trips and there is a very good local bus service which goes 
along the coast road to places both east and west of the resort. 
The bus stops are right outside the entrance. You can even visit 
Gibraltar for a day and shop at Safeway!! It's exactly like the 
ones in the UK even to asking for your ABC Card at the 
check-out.

Of the naturist holiday places we have visited we rate Costa 
Natura as one of the best. We found the staff very pleasant and 
they certainly run an excellent resort. We look forward to our 
next visit.
