Camping Holidays in Spain: Si, Claro! (Yes, of course!)
With its chic European appeal, you might think that taking a holiday in Spain means no camping. Not so! Spain offers many great places to camp?over a thousand, in fact?and you can choose how rustic you want your experience to be. Do you want to cook your own meals? Do you want the great outdoors, or someplace from which you can reach downtown Madrid in ten minutes? Somewhere in between? A camping holiday in Spain can offer all of those things, and more.
V'manos Camping!
With all that Spain has to offer, you'll want to free up your time and your money to get out there and pack your day?or maybe you'd rather lounge around and soak up that warm Mediterranean air. Camping during your holiday in Spain is a great way to accomplish this because they tend to be cheaper than hostels and have a laid-back atmosphere.
Keeping an Open Mind
While there are many upscale organizations and individual campsites, it's a good idea to keep your mind open when camping in Spain on holiday. Because campsites in Spain can number in the thousands, the truly intrepid trekker knows that there's bound to be a lot of variation between campsites. You may find that when you arrive at the "luxurious" or "four star" campsite, facilities like showers or bathrooms may not exactly meet the description in the brochure. But don't let that bother you. The key to having a great time is to accept that it's all part of the adventure.
What To Bring
You can stick to luxurious campsites with palatial tents, beds, kitchen equipment, and even electricity where all you have to bring is something to go clubbing in (check out the night life in beautiful, cobble-stoned lined Cordoba!). Or you can strap your essentials to your back and be ready to throw your tent and sleeping bag down almost anywhere. Whatever you choose to do, you'll probably appreciate your camping holiday in Spain more if you plan ahead.
What Kind of Camping Do You Want to Do?
The web can be a great resource for checking out the selections of campsites?and there are lots! You can camp in the Madrid city center, or the mountains of the Catalan Pyrnees. If you enjoy the nude lifestyle, Spain offers many naturist campsites. Or perhaps you'd like to stay on a farm? Farm campsites often arrange meals and feature some of the friendliest ambience you'll find. Take a camping holiday in Spain: get out there and do it!
