This is a rather quirky site which may not be to everyone's taste, but we loved it. It's in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, with views of snow-capped mountains (in February, at any rate!) It's a small site and the pitches are small too, but in low season there was plenty of room. The toilets and showers are clean and pleasant but only heated from 8-10am and 4-6pm. Only one of the washing-up sinks has hot water. There is a swimming pool in high season, and a bar and restaurant which are very popular with locals. The reception staff are helpful and will book you tickets for the Alhambra (it's an easy journey to Granada.) There is free wifi and a small library. It's generally a peaceful site but it fills up at weekends with Spanish caravanners who can be rather noisy! The town of Orgiva is 2km away, and the whole area is popular with New Age people. Tie-dyed kaftans abound! Chris Stewart's book, 'Driving over lemons', is set in this fascinating area. It's worth driving up into the mountains to see the unique villages of the Alpujarras. It's very refreshing to see a different side of Spain from the over-Anglicised coastal areas.
