Previously known as Camping Cuevas Mar, this is a well-established campsite that proves popular and busy during the warm winter months. The 179 flat pitches on a stone chip are generally 80-100 sq.m. each with a 6/10amp electric supply. Shrubs and trees (some shade) act as pitch dividers, and those near the road are not overly affected as traffic volume is relatively low. Some areas have shade canopies erected during the hot summer months. Overall, throughout, there is a peaceful atmosphere.
wecamp Cabo de Gata is located in the heart of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park in Almería, Spain, near the small fishing village of Las Negras. The site is situated in the adjacent bay 1.5 km from the town on a secluded stretch of beach.
This efficient, well maintained medium-sized site has 185 pitches (60-80 sq.m). They are divided by hedges and trees, 100 have 10A electricity and some have artificial shading. Specific taps about the grounds provide drinking water. The pool has an overlooking bar and restaurant which is kept busy serving excellent typical Spanish ‘menu del dia’ food at reasonable prices. It is a popular site with British tourists seeking the sun. The salinas on the approach to Cabo de Gata are famous for birdlife (including flocks of pink flamingos).
Cabo de Gata, situated on the Gulf of Almería, is a pleasant, all-year campsite offering facilities to a good standard. Popular with British visitors through the winter, and within the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Nature Park, set amongst fruit farms, it is only a 1 km. walk to a fine sandy beach. The 250 gravel pitches are level and of a reasonable size, with 6/16A electricity and limited shade from maturing trees or canopies. There are specific areas for very large units, with very high canopies for shade and seven chalets for rent.
This small, attractive and quiet site was originally part of an old farm, typical of this region. It is well shaded and is particularly suitable for tents and low units. There is limited space for caravans and motorhomes and phoning ahead is strongly advised. Electricity hook-ups are provided (6/16A) but long leads may be required. This level site, set in a nature park is about 300 m. from the beach and the unspoilt village of San José. There is a new toilet block and the small bar/restaurant has a Spanish atmosphere with a large shady terrace outside, ideal for that relaxing drink.
Camping Albox is a well-regarded campsite situated approximately one kilometer (0.6 miles) from the town of Albox in the Valle del Almanzora region of Almería, Andalusia. Located in a tranquil, secluded hillside area, offering beautiful views of the surrounding craggy mountains, olive groves, and orchards. The campsite is located next to the Albox Tennis Club, giving campers access to excellent sports facilities, often at discounted rates. The campsite is particularly popular for visitors seeking a quiet, clean, and comfortable base, especially for long-term stays during the winter. On site, there are 50 spacious touring pitches with 10-amp electric hook-up points available. Pitches are available with varying levels of shade (some, little, or none), though new trees have been planted for future shade.
This is a tiny, homely site run by the cheerful Simon and his charming wife Macu, (both speaking some English), who are determined that you will enjoy your stay. The site is on three levels (with a slightly steep gravel track to the gates) with space for 29 tents, caravans or medium sized motorhomes. All the pitches are marked, level and on gravel with electricity (6A), but with little privacy. The site is unspoilt and has much rustic charm with the family house providing the focal point. Attractive trees and shrubs around the site include olives, figs, mimosa and cacti, but provide little shade.
This site is well-maintained on the sunny gulf coast of Almeria, just 400m from a pebble beach. It's conveniently situated 9 km from the A7 motorway within easy reach of the shops and amenities of Roquetas de Mar, an old fishing village. This is a relaxed family-run site, with English spoken, and there's a willingness to help guests - ask at reception for suggestions for local walking and cycling routes, perhaps into Roquetas and Aguadulce. The site is within easy reach of the popular resort of Almeria and the Cabo de Gata nature park. At the same time, the stunning beach of Playa de Los Muertos Carboneras and the desert terrain of Desierto de Tabernas are popular excursions.
One of the earliest sites in Spain (dating back to 1957), la Garrofa nestles in a cove with a virtually private beach accessed only by sea or through the campsite. It is rather dramatic with the tall mountain cliffs behind. Many of the rather small 100 flat and sloping sandy pitches are shaded, with some very close to the beach and sea. Eighty have 6/10A electricity. An old fortress looks down on the campsite – you can walk to it via a valley at the back of the site and across an old Roman bridge. Other walks directly from the site include a Roman road providing fine coastal views.
This lovely, small, level site is approached by a short, steep and winding road with passing places. There are only 40 pitches, but they are all 100 sq.m. and 30 have electricity (16A), water and drainage, with artificial shade provided in summer. The elevated site is attractively laid out with views to the nearby sea. The superb covered swimming pool has four coin-operated jacuzzi and a large, partially covered terrace with an open-air accessible shower. There are facilities for tennis and pétanque and a play area for children.
Close to the sea and within walking distance of the fishing village of Balerma, Mar Azul is open all year round making it a particularly good choice for a winter break (booking is recommended). The 220 gravel pitches (70-140 sq.m) are in orderly rows and have 16A electricity, water and drainage. The site is relatively new, with just a few trees, low hedges and small palms so artificial shade is provided for the summer months. This site really comes into its own as a base for touring Andalucía. Almeria, a short drive away, has an old quarter, the Alcazaba fortress and a 16th-century Gothic cathedral; Granada and the Cabo de Gata National Park are also among the region’s many attractions. The site is in an area where intense agriculture is the main economic activity.
In a fairly remote area close to the N340, away from the beaches and town at Los Gallardos is a pseudo English enclave. There are over 384 pitches of which 114 are for touring units the remainder are for long stay campers and static units. The pitches are flat and a good size with hard clay and gravel surface, electricity (10/15A), 15 also have water and waste water, but little shade. We see this as a transit site rather than for longer stays, however bowls enthusiasts may argue otherwise. This is a popular site, so the facilities can be stretched at times.

Andalucía is a popular holiday destination for British and Europeans alike and understandably so.

Can you point to Europe’s only desert on a map? Do you know where you can stand with your feet in the snow while looking at Africa? Guess where you can find castle-crusted crags, stranded in time, yet only an hour’s drive from bustling seaside resorts? Fancy skiing this morning, followed by a dip in the sea this afternoon?
Andalusia is the axis between Europe and Africa and the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. This region has been coveted by many different cultures throughout history since prehistoric times.
The Andalusia region has an area of 87,268 km2 and represents 17.3% of Spain and is, therefore, larger than the entire Benelux region.
With the River Guadalquivir running through it, the charming city of Seville is one of the most visited places in the region. The old city, with its great monuments, the Giralda Tower, cathedral and the Alcázar, plus the narrow, winding streets of Santa Cruz, is particularly popular. Also on the Guadalquivir, Cordoba is located northeast of Seville. It has a picturesque Jewish Quarter along with a rich Moorish heritage. Indeed, the Mezquita is one of the grandest mosques ever built by the Moors in Spain.
Located further east on the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Granada is home to the impressive Alhambra, a group of distinct buildings including a Royal Palace, splendid gardens, and the fortress of Alcazaba. The Sierra Nevada, Spain’s highest range, offers good skiing and trekking. Further south, you’ll find the fine beaches and tourist areas of the Costa Tropical and the Costa del Sol, including the developed resort of Malaga. There are more beaches on the west coast, plus one of the oldest settlements in Spain, the bustling port of Cádiz.
The diversity of landscapes and geographic terrain leads to a range of environments ranging from the heat of the Guadalquivir River valley to lush low mountain areas and volcanic landscapes such as the Tabernas Desert and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada peaks.
In barely forty kilometres, you can go from alpine mountain landscapes to tropical areas on the shores of the Mediterranean. The coast of Andalusia stretches for almost 900 kilometers and is home to a large number of towns, villages and beaches that are a pleasure to visit.
The whole ensemble represents a range of attractions for tourists, from impressive monuments in big cities to typical small villages, which have been a constant source of inspiration for artists of all kinds.
Andalucía comprises of eight regions: Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba, Granada, Huelva, Malaga, Jaen and Seville.
