  • Peaceful park 10 mins' drive from 17 kilometres of coast at Mojácar
  • Sierra Cabrera peaks accessible within 20 minutes' drive
  • Playground, plus bar with large terrace
Base yourself here with some haste if you like Spanish holidays with a difference, closeness to coast, nearness to nature parks and mountains to trek any day you pick. This site is in a scenic setting to scrutinise a lot of what's on offer in arid Almeria, the most easterly region of Andalucia. The Cabo de Gata-Nijar Nature Park, Andalucia's biggest coastal protected area and with a full-on desert climate (yes, there be palms), is about an hour's drive away; closer to home at 10 minutes' drive are the glittery white beaches of Mojácar – all 17 kilometres of them – and the mountain range of the Sierra Cabrera are accessible 20 minutes' drive away. At base, Camping Sopalmo has pitches surrounded by carob trees, palms and shrubby gypsophilas, alongside showers and toilets, free wifi, a playground, a washing-up area and a laundry room. There's also a bar with a large terrace, and if you're here in December (again, this is a mild clime), you can tuck into Christmas dinner on site with the Camping Sopalmo team.

Christopher R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Great facilities with super showers. Direct access to walks in the countryside, along the coast, beaches and Mojácar Player. Will be a bit of a walk too far for those with young children or less fit but less than a five minute drive to the beach. Super access for mountain biking too. Very helpful and nice hosts.

Disliked: A little tight for larger vans but not impossible.

Local attractions

Coast, nature park or mountains first? But wait, lots of trad Spanish villages are in the area around Camping Sopalmo too, so have a peaceful and sunny wander through Níjar, Sorbas, Garrucha, Carboneras and Mojácar, all within a short drive. And leave a couple of days at least for Mojácar: once you've spent a day basking on the sands of Mojácar Playa, spend another wandering along the water's edge and then another in Mojácar town, which has seen humans tread its terrain for over 2,000 years. Mojácar Playa is at the foothills of the Sierra Cabrera mountain range: hire a car to drive through its roads, particularly the mountain road toward Cabrera via the El Dondo and La Adelfa (there are parts where you mightn't want to look down). By foot or wheel, hikes and mountain bike rides are well-travelled paths around here too. At the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Nature Park, a popular place with natives and non-natives, you could hike around the Sierra del Cabo de Gata mountains or go scuba diving among the marine life of its tiny offshore islands. Birdwatching, photography, geology trips and boat trips are all also easily available.
