| In Cap you see people doing all the things they would do in a normal town centre: eating in bistos, taking money out of the bank, choosing clothes in shops, eating and drinking in cafes, moving around and driving cars - while completely naked. What's more, they may well have children with them, from toddlers to teenagers.
The etiquette is to carry a towel with you and put it on any seat before you sit down - for obvious hygienic reasons.
Technically, nudity is obligatory. In practice you often notice the odd woman wearing a thong or some people wearing T-shirts but not bottoms to give their shoulders a repite from the sun. Occasionally children are more modest than their parents. Most people wear clothes when it is cold and everybody wears clothes in the evening to go out to dinner or clubbing.
Although there is public nudity on a vast scale in the daytime, the evenings are more astonishing. People wear their sexiest gear and can walk around in leather, straps, chains, lycra or PVC creations that often reveal their piercings both above and below - and they may still be with the kids. If you don't have the stuff don't worry, there are plenty of shops in the complex.
