Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. Theres something about these small savory snacks that may tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been an extremely busy time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of nudism can be a bit cold for losing our clothing in winter months. Although I've had reports of some peculiar sunny days in Spain if you get in a sheltered area the weather isn't guaranteed till later on in springtime.
The superb resort of Eagle Peak run by Peter Pledger is doing exceedingly well and is getting many repeat bookings. Additionally, 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" visiting our Fuerteventura and Lanzarote resorts. Arriving on the island of Fuerteventura we picked up the hire car and headed south to the large naturist resort of Monte Marina as well as the Hotel Marina Playa. After saying our hellos to Susanne Duffner and her mother and father who own this glorious place it was off to the fabulous 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. Breakfast the next morning was taken again on the restaurant patio with the lovely ocean view and beach below.
Our next port of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing village on the north west coast. This village is well-known for the amazing blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. beach girl were staying in the Cotillo Sunset flats that are directly on one of the lagoon shores and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but in addition a hot tub although for textile use only. The sunsets 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 has a tendency to be a mixture of naturist and textiles but merely a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon will be entirely naturist and when we were there I suppose there must have been at least 50 nude couples and families.
After lunch it was time to return the hire car and board the ferry to Playa Blanca on Lanzarote. Charco is a village of around 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxurious private villas. One villa I seen had a elevator inside that went through a fantastic 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 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 wonderful Famara beach where the wild seas in many cases are crowded 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 very good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco eatery which sounds a little dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the seashore. The food is anything but dangerous and is freshly caught that day.
beach freedom and bungalows have independent patios which 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.
