Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. nudism about these little tasty snacks that may tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been a very active time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit chilly for shedding our clothes in the winter. Although I've had reports of some peculiar bright days in Spain should you get in a sheltered spot the weather isn't guaranteed till later on in spring.
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 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 our hellos to Susanne Duffner and her mom and dad who possess 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 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 next 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 village on the north west shore. This village is famous 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 shores and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but in addition a hot tub although for cloth use only. The sunsets from the ocean facing flat terraces are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the excellent beach bar/eatery does a roaring trade. This shore will be a mixture of naturist and textiles but only a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon will be totally naturist and when we were there I assume there must have been at least 50 nude couples and families.
nudist set off for Corralejo which is about a twenty minute drive from Cotillo to visit the "Gallery" which is a much sort after property for naturist wanting a private villa with pool yet only a couple of metres from the clothes discretionary "Flag Beach". After lunch it was time to return the hire car and board the ferry to Playa Blanca on Lanzarote. Charco is a hamlet of approximately 500 properties that range from studios on complexes with pools to luxurious private villas. One villa I seen had a lift inside that travelled through an amazing circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the top floors. Other villas such as Villa Stropek and 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 patio you can often see dolphins leaping out of the water.
Our next stop off was the fabulous Famara beach where the wild seas in many cases are crowded with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be nude on the beach and have something interesting to watch while capturing 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. nudist is anything but high-risk and is recently caught that day.
nudism and bungalows have independent terraces 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.
