El Molino de Mendigorria

Alan Rogers Review

This is an extensive site set by an attractive weir near the town of Mendigorria alongside the River Arga. It takes its name from an old water mill close by and features a sophisticated dock and boat launching facility and an ambitious watersports competition programme in the season with a safety boat present at all times. A Roman aqueduct (4km) is well worth a visit, perhaps by bike. July is very busy due to the bull running festival in Pamplona (28 km).

Run by the friendly owner, Anna Beriain, the site is split into separate permanent and touring sections. The touring area has 90 good-sized flat pitches with electricity and water for touring units and a separate area for tents. All are grassy, and though many trees have been planted around the site, shade can still be at a premium.

Reception is housed in the lower part of a long building along with the bar/snack bar which has a cool shaded terrace, a separate restaurant and a supermarket. The upper floor of this building is dormitory accommodation for backpackers.
