Was in Valencia, went to the beach... it's just a beach. People were naked, it's just normal.

It's not a "nude beach"... it's "beach".

Europe is a big place, maybe that beach was that way but its definitely not the norm. Naturist beaches are usually separate or there is a section that that is for naturists. In Sweden (where I live), even topless sunbathing is unusual nowadays.

That's weird because in Spain - where nowadays topless sunbathing for women is absolutely normal in every beach - was "imported" by the first northern-European (legend usually say Swedish) tourists during late-Franco dictatorship.

Been to Gran Canaria recently (technically Spain), and every beach had topless women sunbathing (even the big city beach). Don't recall seeing fully nude adults though, as those beaches will be segregated IME.

It wasn't just 10 years ago but now you see almost all people with phones on the beach and many opt out to show anything.

That doesn't seem that special considering there are nude beaches in the US.

I'm pretty sure "America is scared of naked bodies" is some internet folk tail that Europeans love to tell.
