Back from my Aida trip from Germany to Gran Canaria

The destination : The dunes of Maspalomas

That was once something special: to take off for the Canary Islands without having to fly.

First we went by train to Warnemünde near Rostock. There I boarded the Aida Sol. Via Copenhagen, my first stop, I went to Dover. Of course I booked a day trip to London, because I had never been there before. So I enjoyed the obligatory programme with Tower and Tower Bridge, Picadelli Circus and Buckingham Palace. All in bad weather and about 10 degrees. So it had nothing to do with a nudist holiday.

In La Corunia and Porto, the weather improved a bit and I was able to use the nudist deck on the Aida. I had already been to Lisbon several times, but here I just went for a coffee in the busy shopping street. After that I went to the Canary Islands: first to Lanzarote for a day, then to my destination: Las Palmas / Gran Canaria.
Here I rented a flat for 4 nights, directly overlooking the dune beach of Maspalomas. In the evening, I went either to the promenade directly on the beach or to the Cita.

I was very lucky with the weather. During the day 28, in the evening still 23 degrees. Every day I went to the nudist beach. Unfortunately, the sunbeds were still heavily reduced and the kiosks were not open. You had to be at the beach by 10:00 a.m. at the latest to get a sunbed, which, by the way, can no longer be paid for in cash, but only with a card. I found the prices in PDI to be pleasant. November is the high season in Playa del Ingles. However, the average age of the guests is over 75. The restaurants are also geared to this target group. If you don’t like that, you have to go somewhere else.

    Dear Chrissy, which is your favourite ambient temperature for being nude at home and on the beach (e.g. about 30 Celsius/86 Fahrenheit)?
    Furthermore, would you like some day to join the Florida nudists?

      Hi Jack, in Fuerteventura 20 celsius were enough, when the sun shines. I don´t need 30 celsius.

    I’m just back from another week in Playa Del Ingles & the beach kiosks are all now open again. A beer🍻🍺 now costs 3 euros 💶 50 & the staff actually serve drinks to the sun beds now as well but I prefer standing or sitting at the kiosks as food place to meet like minded people! The tables & chairs are outdoor moveable picnic type chairs now! Weather was overcast & windy at times but still warm & still got plenty naked time on the beach & the numbering of the kiosks actually makes more sense now. Hope to meet you there one day!

        How was your cruise then & your day back there on February 18th & how did you like the new beach kiosks?

          Yes , my cruise was nice, I enjoyed it, also the kiosk in Maspalomas. But the old ones were better.
