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 little delicious snacks that may tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been a really active time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit chilly for dropping our clothing in winter months. Although beach blondes 've had reports of some peculiar sunny days in Spain if you get in a sheltered spot the weather isn't guaranteed till later on in springtime.
Additionally, the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is attracting 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 like to be Agde but on a smaller scale.
I have just got back from a "Busmans Naturist Holiday" seeing our Fuerteventura and Lanzarote resorts. After saying beach blondes to Susanne Duffner and her mother and dad who own 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 astonishing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. The Monte Marina naked side of the resort now has a great new sauna for the guests use. beach gallery following morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace together with the lovely ocean view and beach below.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing village on the north west shore. This hamlet is famous for the amazing blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. We were staying in the Cotillo Sunset apartments which are directly on one of the lagoon beaches and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but in addition a hot tub although for fabric 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 will be a combination of naturist and cloths but merely a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon will be entirely 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 visit the "Gallery" that's a much sort after property for naturist wanting a private villa with pool yet only several metres from the clothes optional "Flag Beach". 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 island. Charco is a hamlet of around 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxurious private villas. One villa I visited had a elevator inside that travelled through a fantastic circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the upper floors. Other villas like Villa Stropek and also the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a committed client base who book year upon year. beach bum and bungalows at Charco are always in great need. Sitting on the patio you can frequently see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop away was the fantastic Famara beach where the wild seas are often packed with surfers and kite surfers. Its nice to be nude on the beach and have something fascinating to watch while getting the beams. Famara has some very good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco eatery which seems a little dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the beach. The food is anything but high-risk and is recently caught that day.
The villas and bungalows have separate patios that are private enough for sunbathing.
