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.

They accept both tents and caravans on the campsite. It’s a very large space, so there are plenty of pitches.

They also offer a selection of cottages and chalets which can be rented out for up to 6 people.
