Its Tapas Time

My family members and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. I cant help it that when I am in Spain or the Canaries I cant resist simply trying out the local tapas bars even between meals. Theres something about these small delicious snacks that may tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been a very 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 peculiar sunny days in Spain should you get in a sheltered spot the weather isn't guaranteed till later on in spring.
Additionally, the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is bringing many repeat customers run by Grant and Jordi.
beach babes '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 dad who possess this magnificent place it was off to the wonderful 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 nude side of the resort now has a great new sauna for the guests use. Breakfast the next morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace together 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 hamlet is famous for the amazing blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. We were staying in the Cotillo Sunset apartments that are directly on one of the lagoon shores and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but also 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 outstanding beach bar/restaurant does a roaring trade. nudist will be a mixture of naturist and cloths but just a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon has a tendency to be entirely naturist and when we were there I suppose 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" that is a much sort after property for naturist needing a private villa with pool yet only a couple of metres from the clothing discretionary "Flag Beach". Charco is a village of approximately 500 properties that range from studios on complexes with pools to luxury private villas. One villa I visited had a lift inside that travelled via a fantastic circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the upper floors. beach freedom like Villa Stropek along with the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a dedicated client base who publication year upon year. The ocean front flats 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 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 capturing the rays. Famara has some really 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 seashore. nudist is anything but risky and is freshly caught that day.
The villas and bungalows have separate terraces that are private enough for sunbathing.
After a visit to the Papagayo beaches it was time to catch the ferry back to Fuerteventura and back to the Rosario airport for our flight home.
