Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. 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 an incredibly active time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit chilly for dropping our clothing in the wintertime. Although I've had reports of some odd bright days in Spain if you get in a sheltered area the weather isn't guaranteed till later on in springtime.
Additionally, the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is bringing 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 prefer to be Agde but on a smaller scale.
naturism 've just got back from a "Busmans Naturist Holiday" visiting our Fuerteventura and Lanzarote resorts. After saying our hellos to Susanne Duffner and her mother and dad who own this magnificent place it was off to the amazing cliff top restaurant for our late evening meal. We remained in the hotel rooms this time which had astonishing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. beach blondes of the resort now has a great new sauna for the guests use. Breakfast the following 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 coast. This village is famous for the beautiful blue water lagoons and white sand beaches. We were staying in the Cotillo Sunset apartments which 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 cloth use only. The sundown from the ocean facing apartment patios are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the superb beach bar/restaurant does a roaring trade. This beach has a tendency to be a mixture of naturist and cloths but just a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon tends to be entirely naturist and when we were there I assume there must have been at least 50 nude couples and families.
When we arrived our second hire car was waiting for us for our 40 minute journey to Charco del Palo which is the village in the north east of the island. Charco is a hamlet of around 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxury private villas. One villa I visited had a lift inside that went via an incredible circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the top floors. Other villas like Villa Stropek as well as the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a committed 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 away was the wonderful Famara beach where the wild seas are often crowded with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be naked on the beach and have something fascinating to watch while catching the rays. Famara has some very good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. nudism which seems a bit dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the beach. The food is anything but risky and is freshly caught that day.
beach blondes and bungalows have separate 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.
