Its Tapas Time

My family members and friends have nicknamed me El Greedo. Theres something about these little delicious bites that may tempt me to spend more than if I'd gone for a full blown meal.
beach freedom has been an incredibly busy time for the resorts in the Canaries. Of course mainland Europe can be a bit cold for shedding our clothes in the wintertime. Although I've had reports of some strange bright days in Spain should you get in a sheltered area the weather isn't ensured till later on in springtime.
The exceptional resort of Eagle Peak run by Peter Pledger is doing extremely well and is getting many repeat bookings. Additionally, the Skinny Dippers resort on Majorca is bringing 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 will want 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 beach babes to Susanne Duffner and her mom and dad 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 astonishing sea views over the Playa Esquinzo beach. Breakfast the following morning was taken again on the restaurant terrace with the beautiful ocean view and beach beneath.
naturism of call was the tranquil El Cotillo fishing hamlet 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 which are directly on one of the lagoon shores and are blessed not only with a swimming pool but also a hot tub although for cloth use only. The sundown from the ocean facing flat terraces are amazing .Opposite this complex is the La Concha beach and lagoon where the superb beach bar/restaurant does a roaring trade. This shore has a tendency to be a mixture of naturist and textiles but merely a little further north towards the lighthouse the next lagoon tends to be completely naturist and when we were there I guess there must have been at least 50 naked couples and families.
Charco is a village of approximately 500 properties which range from studios on complexes with pools to luxury private villas. One villa I seen had a elevator inside that travelled through a fantastic circular library from the ground floor indoor pool to the living accommodation on the top floors. Other villas such as Villa Stropek as well as the two Casa Rondas are available for rent and have a dedicated client base who publication year upon year. The ocean front apartments and bungalows at Charco are always in great demand. Sitting on the terrace you can frequently see dolphins leaping out of the water.
beach party stop off was the wonderful Famara beach where the wild seas are often packed 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 sounds a bit dodgy is named after the 2000 foot mountain range just behind the beach. The food is anything but dangerous and is recently caught that day.
The villas and bungalows have independent patios that are private enough for sunbathing.
