&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;While the Algarve is famous for its sunny beaches and teeny-weeny bikinis, it also has a long tradition of appreciating modesty. For those new to Portuguese culture, this might seem like an odd mix. But Portugal is a country that effortlessly blends modernity with history, and that blend can sometimes be hard to miss, especially in holiday hotspots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Sure, the beaches might be a haven for sun-kissed skin, but that&#39;s where the nakedness stays – unless you’re at home, of course. While nudism is legal on specific beaches officially recognised for that purpose, public nudity outside those areas is wholeheartedly frowned upon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;So, to help you avoid any unexpected encounters with the law, we’re sending out a friendly reminder to keep those ‘let’s strip off’ urges in check. Starting this summer, new regulations will reportedly be enforced in key areas to keep things respectful, promote public decency, and, of course, reduce sunburn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;What sparked this change, you ask? Well, it seems some tourists and non-nationals have been getting a little too free-spirited off the beach with partial or full nudity in town centres, restaurants, shops, and even impromptu strip-down dances in places that aren’t, let’s say, &quot;naked-friendly.&quot; So, not exactly the vibe of the local culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Recent reports of a so-called ‘bikini ban’ in Albufeira, along with fines for inappropriate attire and behaviour mean sauntering around in swimwear there might soon be a thing of the past.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;But fret not! If your au naturel side calls, there will still be no shortage of beaches for dental-floss-sized bikinis and designated spots where you can fully bask in all your natural glory. Just be sure to slather on some sunscreen – the Algarve sun can burn delicate skin! And, if you prefer to keep all your nakedness at home and need one of those here in the Algarve, we can help with that, too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Think this is an April Fool’s joke? Nope. We’re being fully naked!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;See you on the beach!&lt;/p&gt;
