Sing and Bruckner's legacy

Today, researching a little bit about the history of nudism in general and that of Cantarriján in particular, I have been able to go back to the very dawn of the birth of "legalized" nudism in our country. I hope that this story that I tell you today, you find it as interesting as I have found it to be known to you.

Long before naturism was authorized on the first beaches of our country, long before nudism will be regulated internationally and it ceased to be persecuted, or even punished, by the laws of the time, people already flocked to Cantarriján to bathe and sunbathe naked. 

The cleanliness of its waters, being away from the road and, in addition, having several natural obstacles that prevented the view from the outside, made it an ideal beach for this practice. 
The dark times that preceded and that escalated during the Spanish Civil War vetoed every memory of freedom. Nudist thinking, like many other liberal ideas arising from the society of the time, became unthinkable to practice or, not even mention. Cantariján was silent. As much as the voices that one day laughed and enjoyed in their sands.
Much happened in our country until we saw the end of the Franco regime and allowed the arrival of Democracy in Spain.
Branco Bruckner, a Yugoslav agronomist and Spanish official, and official of the Ministry of Agriculture, was one of those pioneering and underrecognized minds, which emerged with the advent of a new period of light and freedom. 
Supported by the FNI (International Naturist Federation) he championed the nudist movement in Andalusia, creating in March 1978 (a few weeks after the birth of the FEN) its first official regional association, ANA (then called the Naturist Association of Andalusia)
Few people have done so much in such a short time for nudism. 
Once regulated in Spain the practice of nudism through a ministerial order, Bruckner managed to inaugurate in the province of Almería the first naturist campsite of the Peninsula (Las Palmeras) and, very soon after, the works of what is now Costa Natura, in Estepona, the first nudist complex in the country, thus anticipating the unstoppable emergence in Spain of naturism.
When the summer of 1982 came to an end, the Civil Government of Granada sent the City Council of Almuñécar a note officially authorizing, to the beach of Cantarriján, the practice of naturism. First, only in a bounded area and later, in its entirety.
The achievement was of Bruckner and his Naturist Association, who saw in Cantarriján the paradise that today we all know that it is and that fought with all its means, so that the 500 holiday homes that, in the middle of the tourist boom that emerged after the Spanish Transition, had been planned to build almost at the foot of the beach.
On this cold and rainy afternoon of March, sitting on a computer that already accuses the passage of time, and almost 36 years after his achievement for our beach, this singer wants to thank Branco Bruckner for being an indispensable reference of nudism in Spain, for making us see the importance of being associated and united by the same common cause. That the struggle to get places where nudism is present remains important. That we must not accommodate in passivity and that the "nudist" thing is not a mere adjective that adorns the name of an association.
But above all, I want to thank you for reminding me again that Cantarriján should not lose what one day he helped to get it to be: One of the first naturist beaches authorized and recognized nationally in a place, today, protected by state laws and ordinances.
