COSTA DEL SOL GLAMPING VILLAGE

The south coast of Spain attracts holidaymakers with its bright beaches, mountainous hinterland, white villages and prehistoric sites. When camping by the sea, holidaymakers can ride the waves, stroll along the promenades or discover the cultural treasures of this region steeped in history. Afterwards, holidaymakers in Spain can fortify themselves with delicious snacks in rustic tapas bars and look forward to excursions to glamorous marinas or nature parks.

Special features of camping on the Costa del Sol

Camping on the Costa del Sol is a pleasure that often takes place directly or close to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. Many holiday destinations are not far from fine sandy beaches and a variety of water sports facilities. The distance to shopping and entertainment facilities as well as historical sights can often be covered in a short time by car. If you prefer to leave your caravan parked, there are excellent bus connections to the region's attractions.

Camping accommodation on the southern Spanish coast is usually very child-friendly and offers appropriate facilities such as playgrounds and holiday programmes for the kids. Guests are also welcome to bring their four-legged friends to many of the campsites on the Costa del Sol. This way, the whole family can get to know Spanish hospitality together.

Destinations on the Costa del Sol

The campsites on the Costa del Sol are located directly in or near large seaside resorts such as Torremolinos, Estepona, Benalmádena and Fuengirola. Mountains rise up in the hinterland, providing a picturesque backdrop and hiking opportunities. Away from the popular holiday resorts, holidaymakers can discover towns steeped in history.

Málaga

The city with the international airport is the gateway to the Costa del Sol. However, it is not only a transport hub, but also a lively and interesting metropolis. The Alcazaba, the former Moorish seat of power, is enthroned on a hill as a landmark. A visit to the Picasso Museum is a must during a sightseeing tour. To relax, head to the impressive harbour with its Ferris wheel, ice cream parlours and exclusive yachts as well as gigantic cruise ships.

Ronda

An unforgettable experience is a trip to the historic town of Ronda, which rises up into the sky on a high plateau in the centre of the country. Celebrities such as the writers Rainer Maria Rilke and Ernest Hemingway have spent extended periods of time in the famous White Village. The picturesque old town is perfect for a stroll, and the Arab baths, the bullring and the Palace of Mondragon are well worth a visit. The new town can be reached via the impressive Puente Nuevo bridge, which is also Ronda's landmark.

Top 5 sights

  • Puerto Banús: Marbella's marina attracts the rich and famous. If you love luxury boats and glamour, this is the place to be.
  • Alcazaba: Fairytale palace in Málaga with lush gardens, round arches, rippling fountains, pretty courtyards and an exciting archaeological museum.
  • Selwo Aventura: Estepona Zoo is home to over 2,000 animal species and fun activities such as dromedary rides, zip lines, archery and trampolining.
  • Caves of Nerja: The cave system stretches over a length of 4,800 metres and contains stalactite formations that are thousands of years old. People are said to have lived here from around 30,000 BC.
  • Centro Pompidou: Art lovers can marvel at some of the most important works of the 20th and 21st centuries in Malaga's cultural centre, which opened in 2015.

Top 3 insider tips

  • Genalguacil: If you want to experience a unique village off the beaten track, then Genalguacil is the place for you. The picturesque village in the Serranía de Ronda is adorned with countless works of art and is therefore also known as a museum village.
  • Júzcar: The village around 25 kilometres from Ronda not only delights young visitors with its blue house facades. The village of the Smurfs had its buildings painted in the typical colour of the comic characters for the world premiere of the film and has been a popular excursion destination ever since.
  • Laguna de Fuente de Piedra: The largest free-living flamingo population in Europe can be visited here. The lively hustle and bustle of the pink-coloured birds is an excellent photo opportunity.

Activities and excursions

The Costa del Sol is an Eldorado for sporty holidaymakers. But not only active holidaymakers get their money's worth with water sports, golf and outdoor action, nature and culture fans also enjoy spending the best time of the year in southern Spain.

Water sports on the Mediterranean

The crystal-clear sea can be conquered by snorkelling and diving as well as water skiing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. There are also various fun sports such as flyboarding and banana boat trips to book. Guests can discover the coastline with its beautiful sandy beaches by canoe, kayak or pedalo.

Buggy tour into the mountains

A fast-paced buggy tour to Ronda is great fun for the whole family. The tour takes the group along more or less paved roads to the large gorge overlooked by the white village of Ronda.

Playing golf on the sunny coast

Holidaymakers can work on their handicap while camping on the Costa del Sol. Practice bunkers, driving ranges and putting greens are available to players everywhere. There are numerous 18-hole courses around Marbella in particular. Near Mijas, for example, visitors can hone their golf swing in the midst of the mountain panorama.

Gastronomy

Camping on the Costa del Sol promises culinary delights. Traditionally, the Spanish start to the day is sporadic and usually only consists of a coffee with milk and a sweet pastry. Lunch and dinner are celebrated all the more lavishly. These are usually a sequence of several courses and often last one to two hours.

Fish is an important part of the cuisine. It is served, for example, in the form of pescado frito, i.e. baked in batter or deep-fried. The cold vegetable soup gazpacho is a delicious summer dish. The Andalusia region is particularly famous for its delicious tapas, small appetisers served with wine, beer or sherry.

Best time to visit

When camping on the Costa del Sol, holidaymakers are spoilt with 320 days of sunshine per year. Due to the subtropical climate, temperatures are mild even in winter, averaging 15 °C in December. At the same time, the mountain ranges in the north provide protection from cool winds. The rainiest month is March with around ten days.

The best time to travel to the south of Spain is between May and the end of September. Guests can expect eleven hours of sunshine a day and temperatures of around 26 °C in July and August. The water temperature is a pleasant 21 °C. There is usually no rain in the summer months, so holidaymakers can enjoy their beach holiday to the full.
