Camping Las Hortensias

Alan Rogers Review

Open for just four months from June to September, Las Hortensias is a friendly site located on the Cantabrian coast of northern Spain. The site enjoys a fine setting on a sheltered sandy beach, adjacent to the Mirador Hotel. There are 156 pitches connected by well lit tarmac roads. Each pitch has 6-10A electricity and there are water points throughout. After a day on the beach or exploring the nearby rock pools, the bar terrace is a great spot to enjoy the sunset. Many pitches are well shaded by pine trees, in pleasant, peaceful locations.

By way of contrast from the beach, a trip inland to the magnificent Picos de Europa range is highly recommended. This is dramatic and wild mountain scenery, and one of the last refuges of the European brown bear. The site team will be pleased to help and advise on routes and trails for motoring, hiking and biking through the Picos. Back on the coast, Santander is a sophisticated port town with good facilities and a pleasant spot for an evening stroll.
