Its Tapas Time

My family members and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. I cant help it that when I'm in Spain or the Canaries I cant resist only trying out the local tapas bars even between meals. Theres something about these small delicious snacks that can tempt me to spend more than if I'd 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 cold for dropping our clothing in the winter. Although I've had reports of some odd bright days in Spain if you get in a sheltered area the weather is not guaranteed till later on in spring.
Additionally, the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is bringing many repeat customers run by Grant and Jordi.
The Vera Playa Hotel and also the self catering complexes of Bahia Vera and Vera Natura are old time favourites in Vera Playa the resort that will like to be Agde but on a smaller scale.
I've just got back from a "Busmans Naturist Holiday" seeing our Fuerteventura and Lanzarote resorts. Arriving on the island of Fuerteventura we picked up the hire car and headed south to the great naturist resort of Monte Marina as well as the Hotel Marina Playa. After saying beach blondes to Susanne Duffner and her mom and dad who own this magnificent place it was off to the fabulous cliff top restaurant for our late evening meal. We remained in the hotel rooms this time which had astonishing sea view s over the Playa Esquinzo beach. Breakfast the following morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace with the beautiful ocean view and beach below.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing village on the north west coast. https://dailyuploads.net/mjxv1jzsov1o is well-known for the amazing blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. We were staying in the Cotillo Sunset flats that are directly on one of the lagoon beaches and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but also a hot tub although for fabric use only. The sundown from the ocean facing apartment patios are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the superb beach bar/eatery does a roaring trade. This shore has a tendency to be a combination of naturist and fabrics but only a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon tends to be completely naturist and when we were there I guess there must have been at least 50 naked couples and families.
We set off for Corralejo which is about a twenty minute drive from Cotillo to visit the "Gallery" which is a much sort after property for naturist needing a private villa with pool yet only several metres from the clothing optional "Flag Beach". When we arrived our second hire car was waiting for us for our 40 minute journey to Charco del Palo which is the village in the north east of the isle. http://www.docspal.com/viewer?id=gpxkwhij-17147637 is a hamlet of approximately 500 properties that range from studios on complexes with pools to luxurious private villas. One villa I visited had a elevator inside that travelled through an incredible 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 dedicated client base who publication year upon year. The ocean front apartments and bungalows at Charco are always in great need. Sitting on the patio you can frequently see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop away was the fantastic Famara beach where the wild seas are often packed with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be naked on the beach and have something fascinating to watch while catching the rays. Famara has some really good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco restaurant which seems a bit dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the seashore. The food is anything but risky and is recently caught that day.
The villas and bungalows have independent terraces which are private enough for sunbathing.
