where to sleep
As we were traveling by van, we didn't sleep in any hotels or apartments. Instead, we stayed at campsites and pitches. We had a good mix of paid and unpaid pitches and were actually happy with all of them. If you are also traveling by van, here are my tips:
- Route 66 Tabernas (Carretera Nacional 340 A KM 474, 04200 Tabernas, Almería) - We spent the night directly in the parking lot of the Route 66 restaurant as we arrived at night and didn't want to look any further. Unfortunately, it was a bit noisy due to the adjacent road. However, if you drive a little further through (past the restaurant and fields), you will come to a (quiet) camper site.
- Camping Granada (Paraje, Cerro de la Cruz, 18210, Granada) - One of our favorite campsites on the whole trip, very nice location, friendly staff and beautiful views!
- (Wild) camping spot near Caminito del Rey (W54M+Q7W, 29550 Ardales, Málaga province) - Beautiful campsite with a view of the blue-green lake
- (Wild) camping spot near Gibraltar (5MX9+9WG, 11315 Santa Margarita, Cádiz) - Pitch right on the beach with a view of the mountain of Gibraltar
- CAMPING VILLSOM Sevilla (N-IV, Km 555, 41703 Dos Hermanas) - Beautiful, well-equipped campsite with good public transport connections to get into the city
