Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. I cant help it that when I'm in Spain or the Canaries I cant resist simply trying out the local tapas bars even between meals. Theres something about these small tasty 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 cold for discarding our clothing in the wintertime. Although blondes on a beach 've had reports of some odd bright days in Spain should you get in a sheltered spot the weather isn't ensured till later on in springtime.
The exceptional resort of Eagle Peak run by Peter Pledger is doing exceedingly well and is getting many repeat bookings. Additionally, the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is bringing many repeat customers run by Grant and Jordi.
The Vera Playa Hotel as well as the self catering complexes of Bahia Vera and Vera Natura are old time favourites in Vera Playa the resort that would 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 large naturist resort of Monte Marina as well as the Hotel Marina Playa. After saying our hellos to Susanne Duffner and her mom and father who possess this splendid place it was off to the fantastic cliff top restaurant for our late evening meal. We stayed in the hotel rooms this time which had astonishing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. The Monte Marina nude side of the resort now has a great new sauna for the guests use. Breakfast the following morning was taken again on the restaurant patio together with the lovely ocean view and beach beneath.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing hamlet on the north west coast. This village is famous 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 textile use only. The sunsets from the ocean facing flat terraces are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the superb beach bar/eatery does a roaring trade. This beach will be a mixture of naturist and textiles but just 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 nude couples and families.
After lunch it was time to return the hire car and board the ferry to Playa Blanca on Lanzarote. Charco is a village of approximately 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxurious private villas. One villa I visited had a lift inside that went via an amazing circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the top floors. Other villas like Villa Stropek and also the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a dedicated client base who book year upon year. The ocean front flats and bungalows at Charco are always in great demand. Sitting on the patio you can often see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop off 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 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 freshly caught that day.
beach bum and bungalows have separate 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.
