Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. Theres something about these little appetizing bites that could tempt me to spend more than if I had 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 winter months. Although I've had reports of some strange sunny days in Spain should you get in a sheltered spot the weather isn't guaranteed till later on in springtime.
Also the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is bringing many repeat customers run by Grant and Jordi.
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 mom and dad who possess this magnificent place it was off to the fabulous 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 following morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace 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 apartments that 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 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. This beach tends to be a combination of naturist and textiles 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 assume 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 go to the "Gallery" which is a much sort after property for naturist needing a private villa with pool yet only several 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 village of around 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 like Villa Stropek and also 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 need. Sitting on the terrace you can frequently see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop off was the wonderful 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 beams. Famara has some really good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco eatery which sounds a bit dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the beach. beach blondes is anything but high-risk and is freshly caught that day.
The villas and bungalows have independent patios that are private enough for sunbathing.
After a trip to the Papagayo beaches it was time to catch the ferry back to Fuerteventura and back to the Rosario airport for our flight home.
