Stranger #34 Radhazul
I met this lovely young lady at a craft exhibition in Maspalomas. She had a stall there selling her beautiful ceramics. Her English was very limited and my Spanish even more so. However, I asked her if I could take her photo, she asked why and I explained about the stranger project. She wasn't happy to oblige and I said that I quite understood as I hate having my photo taken. She seemed interested in the project and said that she also liked to take photos of strangers but didn't like to have her photo taken. I showed her some of my other stranger portraits and she asked if I had to use her name, I told her that it would be nice but not if she didn't want me to. She agreed to participate in the project if I would use her company name rather than her name (which she didn't divulge). Her company is Rhadhazul Cerramica, here is a link to her Facebook site, showing some of her work, she is very talented.

Another pic in comments which I think I prefer but the focus wasn't so sharp. I was so pleased that she changed her mind and decided to allow me to take her photo, especially after being so reluctant.
This picture is #34 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
