This site is high in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park and looks down on the Pantano de Canales reservoir. After a scenic drive to Güéjar-Sierra, you are rewarded with a site boasting excellent facilities. It is set on a slope, but the pitches have been levelled and are pretty private, with high separating hedges and many mature trees giving good shade. Some pitches are fully serviced, with sinks and all but four have electricity.
Set high up in the Alpujarras region of the Sierra Nevada, Camping Trevélez is a super site that was bought in 2005 by the resident owners, Richard and Alexandra. Since taking over, they have worked tirelessly to improve the site and, each year, have made significant progress.
A simple country site perched high in the mountains of Las Alpujarras, on the south side of the Sierra Nevada, El Balcon de Pitres has its own rustic charm.
Hundreds of trees planted around the site provide shade. There are stunning views from some of the 175 level, grassy pitches (large units may find pitch access difficult). The garden is kept green by spring waters which you can hear and sometimes see, tinkling away in places. The Lopez family have built this site from barren mountain top to cool oasis in the mountains in just fifteen years.

This quieter section of the coast is beautiful with coves and access to larger towns if wished. The friendly reception staff are very helpful with tourist advice and can arrange trips for you if needed.
Camping Los Bermejales gets its name from its location; situated on the banks of the reservoir Los Bermejales and at the foot of the Sierras Tejeda and Almijara, there is plenty of adventures to be had whilst staying here. The campsite owners have managed this site for more than 16 years, pride themselves on customer service, and make the campsite very friendly and family orientated.

This is a smaller sister site to Don Cactus (ES92950). It is located right on the beach (the side gate leads straight onto a small pebble beach). Many pitches run along the sea with a bamboo fence which provides some shade, and from many pitches you can see and hear the sea. It is a peaceful and wonderful setting. There are 240 pitches of various sizes (mostly medium) shaded by a variety of trees. This is an option for those looking for a quieter site to just relax. A family run site (with a little English spoken) facilities include a small shop, small restaurant and a bar.

The large restaurant has a most extensive menu with waiter service – a pleasant and very Spanish place to enjoy a meal.

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.
