Cordoba is situated deep in the Andalusian province of Spain and camping here has recently become en vogue. Most of the campsites are located close to the coast, and Cordoba is a short drive away. The UNESCO site was the capital of Hispania Ulterior under the Roman Empire and then the capital of Umayyad Caliphate. The Mosque in the historical centre was once the epitome of village life, but it now surrounds a modern infrastructure where high rise hotels mingle alongside the developed AVE train network.
Santiago de Compostela
This UNESCO city surrounds the Bay of Biscay in the northern part of the country. It is a popular destination with pilgrims, who walk the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage following in the path that St. James’ remains took from Jerusalem. The Cathedral in this city is therefore one of the most sacred in Christendom and its gothic infrastructure is definitely work exploring on your camping holiday in Spain. However, the religious pilgrimage is not the only reason to visit this fabled city, you will discover that gastronomy is an art here and seafood, fish and beef are the region’s specialities. Santiago de Compostela hosts one of the best universities in Spain and camping here is a great way to experience the town’s never ending night life.
Avila
Avila rises up from the shadow of the Gredos Sierra Mountains and is one of Spain’s most scenic cities. It was a textile power during the Renaissance era and the birthplace of Santa Teresa de Jesus, for this reason Avila has many religious and spiritual buildings relating to the life of the mystic. This region has some of most scenic campsites in Spain, where towering mountains mingle with clear freshwater lakes. There are plenty of nature reserves in the local area worth exploring and kayaking and horse riding excursions are easy to arrange.
Toledo
Toledo is known as the city of three cultures as the Christians, Arabs and Jews lived here together for centuries. The monuments are testimony to this rich mix of cultures, where tall gothic churches stand alongside peeling synagogues. The whole city is a giant museum and camping here can be equally enthralling. Toledo is situated near the capital of Madrid, which is definitely a must visit whilst on your camping holiday in Spain.
Tarragona
Tarragona is situated on the shores of the Mediterranean and is definitely the warmest UNESCO city in Spain. It was known during the Roman times as Tarraco, and here important monuments nestle alongside beautiful beaches. There are countless excursions that you can do whilst on your camping holiday in Spain, and one of the most popular is the nearby Cistacerian monasteries, which are amongst the best preserved in the world. The monastery at Poblet is also a popular destination with holidaymakers; although it is not nearly as grand. If you’re after a more relaxing holiday then the beautiful beaches of the area are perfect for sunbathing. Water sports are popular here and the more adventurous campers can try their hands at wind surfing, or jet skiing, before tucking into some of Tarragona’s famous and deliciously succulent seafood.
