Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. beach blondes cant help it that when I am in Spain or the Canaries I cant resist merely trying out the local tapas bars even between meals. Theres something about these little appetizing bites that could tempt me to spend more than if I had gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been a very busy time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit chilly for discarding our clothing in the wintertime. Although I've had reports of some strange bright days in Spain if you get in a sheltered spot the weather is not guaranteed till later on in spring.
Also the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is attracting many repeat customers run by Grant and Jordi.
I've just got back from a "Busmans Naturist Holiday" seeing our Fuerteventura and Lanzarote resorts. After saying our hellos to Susanne Duffner and her mom and dad who possess this glorious place it was off to the amazing cliff top restaurant for our late evening meal. We stayed in the hotel rooms this time which had amazing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. Breakfast the following morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace with the beautiful ocean view and beach below.
beach bum of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing hamlet on the north west shore. This village is famous for the amazing blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. blondes on a beach were staying in the Cotillo Sunset flats which are right on one of the lagoon shores and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but in addition a hot tub although for textile use only. The sundown from the ocean facing apartment patios are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the outstanding beach bar/restaurant does a roaring trade. This beach has a tendency to be a mixture of naturist and textiles but only a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon tends to be totally naturist and when we were there I guess there must have been at least 50 nude couples and families.
nudism set off for Corralejo which is about a twenty minute drive from Cotillo to go to the "Gallery" which is a much sort after property for naturist wanting a private villa with pool yet only a few metres from the clothing optional "Flag Beach". Charco is a hamlet of around 500 properties that range from studios on complexes with pools to luxurious private villas. One villa I seen had a lift inside that travelled through a fantastic circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the upper floors. Other villas like Villa Stropek as well as the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a committed client base who book year upon year. The ocean front flats and bungalows at Charco are always in great demand. Sitting on blondes on a beach can frequently see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop away was the incredible Famara beach where the wild seas are often crowded with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be nude on the beach and have something interesting to observe while capturing the beams. Famara has some really good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco restaurant which seems a little dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the seashore. The food is anything but high-risk and is freshly caught that day.


The villas and bungalows have independent terraces that are private enough for sunbathing.
After a visit to the Papagayo beaches it was time to catch the ferry back to Fuerteventura and back to the Rosario airport for our flight home.
