Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. beach bum about these small tasty snacks that could tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been a very active time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of nudist can be a bit chilly for losing our clothes in the winter. Although I've had reports of some peculiar sunny days in Spain if you get in a sheltered spot the weather isn't ensured till later on in springtime.
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 prefer to be Agde but on a smaller scale.
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 mother and father who possess this magnificent place it was off to the wonderful 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. The Monte Marina bare side of the resort now has a great new sauna for the guests use. Breakfast the next morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace together with the beautiful ocean view and beach beneath.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing village on the north west coast. This village is famous for the beautiful blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. We 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 also a hot tub although for textile use only. The sunsets from the ocean facing flat patios are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the superb beach bar/restaurant does a roaring trade. naturism has a tendency to be a mixture of naturist and cloths but only a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon has a tendency to be fully naturist and when we were there I assume there must have been at least 50 naked couples and families.
nudism set off for Corralejo which is about a twenty minute drive from Cotillo to go to the "Gallery" that's a much sort after property for naturist needing a private villa with pool yet only a couple of metres from the clothing discretionary "Flag Beach". Charco is a hamlet of around 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxury private villas. One villa I visited had a lift inside that went through an incredible circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the top floors. Other villas like Villa Stropek along with the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a committed client base who publication year upon year. The ocean front flats and bungalows at Charco are always in great need. Sitting on beach blondes can often see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop away was the fabulous Famara beach where the wild seas in many cases are packed with surfers and kite surfers. Its nice to be naked on the beach and have something interesting to watch while capturing the rays. Famara has some very good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco eatery which seems a bit dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the seashore. The food is anything but high-risk and is recently caught that day.


The villas and bungalows have independent patios which 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.
