Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. naturism cant help it that when I am in Spain or the Canaries I cant resist just 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.
beach babes has been a very busy time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of blondes on a beach can be a bit cold for shedding our clothing in the winter. Although I have had reports of some unusual bright days in Spain should you get in a sheltered area the weather is not guaranteed till later on in spring.


The superb resort of Eagle Peak run by Peter Pledger is doing extraordinarily well and is getting many repeat bookings. Also the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is attracting many repeat customers run by Grant and Jordi.
The Vera Playa Hotel and the self catering complexes of Bahia Vera and Vera Natura are old time favourites in Vera Playa the resort that would want 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 own this magnificent place it was off to the fantastic cliff top restaurant for our late evening meal. We remained in the hotel rooms this time which had astonishing 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 beneath.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing village 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 apartments which are right on one of the lagoon beaches and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but also a hot tub although for cloth use only. The sunsets from the ocean facing flat patios are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the outstanding beach bar/restaurant does a roaring trade. This shore will be a combination of naturist and fabrics but merely a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon has a tendency to be completely naturist and when we were there I guess there must have been at least 50 nude couples and families.
We 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 needing a private villa with pool yet only a few metres from the clothing discretionary "Flag Beach". After lunch it was time to return the hire car and board the ferry to Playa Blanca on Lanzarote. When we arrived our second hire car was waiting for us for our 40 minute journey to Charco del Palo which is the hamlet in the north east of the isle. Charco is a hamlet of around 500 properties that range from studios on complexes with pools to luxury private villas. One villa I seen had a lift inside that travelled via an amazing circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the upper floors. Other villas such as 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 apartments and bungalows at Charco are always in great need. Sitting on the patio 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 packed with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be naked on the beach and have something fascinating to observe while catching the rays. Famara 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 risky and is recently caught that day.
nudist and bungalows have independent terraces that are private enough for sunbathing.
