Its Tapas Time

My family and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. nudism cant help it that when I'm in Spain or the Canaries I cant resist only trying out the local tapas bars even between meals. Theres something about these little delicious bites that can tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
This winter has been a really busy time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit chilly for losing our clothes in winter months. Although I've had reports of some odd bright days in Spain should you get in a sheltered spot the weather is not 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 as well as 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.
beach blondes have just got back from a "Busmans Naturist Holiday" visiting our Fuerteventura and Lanzarote resorts. Arriving on beach gallery of Fuerteventura we picked up the hire car and headed south to the great 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 possess this magnificent place it was off to the wonderful cliff top restaurant for our late evening meal. We stayed in the hotel rooms this time which had amazing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. Breakfast the following morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace 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 hamlet is well-known 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 beaches and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but also a hot tub although for textile 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/eatery does a roaring trade. This shore tends to be a combination of naturist and textiles but just 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 naked couples and families.
Charco is a village 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 travelled through an incredible circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the upper floors. Other villas such as Villa Stropek as well as the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a committed client base who book year upon year. The ocean front flats 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 fabulous Famara beach where the wild seas are often crowded with surfers and kite surfers. Its fine to be nude on the beach and have something interesting to observe while catching the beams. Famara has some very good seafood restaurants and bars overlooking the sea. El Risco eatery which sounds 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.
The villas and bungalows have separate 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.
