Its Tapas Time

My family members and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. naturism 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 little savory snacks that can tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been an incredibly busy time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit cold for dropping our clothing in the wintertime. Although naturism 've had reports of some strange sunny days in Spain if you get in a sheltered area the weather is not guaranteed till later on in springtime.
The superb resort of Eagle Peak run by Peter Pledger is doing exceptionally 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 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. Arriving on the island of Fuerteventura we picked up the hire car and headed south to the great naturist resort of Monte Marina along with the Hotel Marina Playa. After saying our hellos to Susanne Duffner and her mother and dad who possess this glorious 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 amazing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. Breakfast the next morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace with the beautiful ocean view and beach beneath.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing hamlet on the north west shore. This village is well-known for the amazing blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. We were staying in the Cotillo Sunset flats that are right on one of the lagoon beaches 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 terraces are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the superb beach bar/eatery does a roaring trade. beach blondes will be a mixture of naturist and fabrics but just a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon will be fully naturist and when we were there I assume there must have been at least 50 naked couples and families.


Charco is a hamlet of approximately 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxury private villas. One villa I visited had a elevator inside that travelled via an amazing circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the top floors. Other villas such as Villa Stropek as well as the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a committed client base who publication year upon year. The ocean front apartments and bungalows at Charco are always in great demand. Sitting on the terrace you can often see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop away was the fantastic Famara beach where the wild seas in many cases are crowded with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be naked on the beach and have something interesting to watch while capturing the rays. beach blondes has some very 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 beach. The food is anything but dangerous and is freshly caught that day.
The villas and bungalows have separate patios that are private enough for sunbathing.
