What’s it like?
“A subtropical paradise directly on the sea” is how it’s described, and quite accurately indeed. La Torre del Sol campsite the kind of place you dream of when longing to escape. It sits right next to the beach overlooking the Mediterranean, separated only by a small wall with plants on it.

Each plot is generously sized, giving you the privacy you need without being completely secluded.

You have three options regarding size: the 1st is the standard pitch of 70 sq m, the 2nd is the comfort pitch of 100 sq m, which has a separate place to park your vehicle, and the 3rd is the grand comfort pitch, which is the same as the comfort pitch but with its own water point and drainage system.
