  • Family-friendly site 200 metres from a golden sandy beach
  • In Palomares, within a 15-minute drive of Vera; Mojácar 20 minutes
  • Restaurant, garden with sun loungers and a play area
It should be pretty easy to unwind at TAIGA Almería Playa, a family-friendly site in Palomares village in the Andalusian province of Almeria. How come? The family-friendly site is a mere 200 metres' amble away from the nearest beach, Playa de Quitapellejos, and it also has an on-site restaurant, a play area for the kids and a garden with sunloungers. As it's set between the mountains and the sea, there’s plenty near the site to keep rugged adventurers and laidback beach buffs happy. As mentioned, the closest beach is 200 metres from the site; more are five minutes’ drive away at Playas de Vera (complete with a naturist beach for those who dare to bare), and there are a full 17 kilometres of fab sandy stretches at Mojácar, 20 minutes' drive away. The spectacularly craggy Sierra Cabrera range is a little under an hour away for mountain fans, so pile into the car and head this way for precipitous drives, hikes and mountain biking trails. After your hillside treks and beachy days, head back to home base for a cooling dip in the pool (open during high season only). Once you feel like you’ve earned yourself some dinner (all this soaking up the sun is hungry work), wander restaurantwards for grub or venture into the outside world to try local cuisine at the nearby eateries.

Jose R.

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked La atención del personal. Muy agradables y atentos.

Disliked Instalaciones. El camping se única junto a un invernadero, la cantidad de moscas durante el día era insoportable. La parte sur da a una carrera con mucho tránsito, el ruido de los coches no nos ha dejado dormir. Solo tienen un baño para todo el camping con 4 WC y 3 duchas para las mujeres y 2WC, 2 urinarios y 3 duchas para los hombres, las colas eran interminables. No había contenedores de basura y en las parcelas tampoco papeleras. Los baños no estaban limpios y no recargaron jabón de manos.

From the manager: Hola Jose,

Lamentamos sinceramente que tu experiencia en Taiga Almería Playa no haya sido la que esperabas.

Agradecemos mucho tus palabras hacia nuestro personal. Nos alegra saber que el trato recibido fue de tu agrado, ya que para nosotros es fundamental ofrecer una atención cercana y amable.

Respecto a los inconvenientes que mencionas, somos conscientes de que nuestra ubicación junto a zonas agrícolas puede generar molestias como la presencia de moscas en ciertas épocas del año. Aun así, aplicamos medidas continuas para intentar reducir su impacto respetando el entorno.

En relación a los baños, tomamos muy en serio tu comentario. Actualmente estamos buscando opciones para ampliarlos y así mejorar la experiencia de nuestros visitantes, especialmente en temporada alta.

Los contenedores de basura están situados fuera del recinto precisamente para evitar malos olores y la acumulación de insectos cerca de las parcelas, pero revisaremos cómo señalizar mejor su ubicación.

Sentimos que esta vez no hayamos podido cumplir tus expectativas. Agradecemos el tiempo que te has tomado en compartir tu experiencia, ya que nos ayuda a seguir mejorando.

Un saludo cordial,
SORAYA T

Friendly staff.

Chris S.

Electric optional gravel pitch (premium)

Liked Great pool with shade. Very tasty meal in restaurant. Can choose own pitch both sun and shade. Beach a short walk outside gate. A couple of bars but not open. Toilets and showers good. Staff very friendly.

Disliked Watch which way sat nav takes you, we went on rough road and across a ford. Would have stayed longer but as it is sirrounded by fruit 'tents' it was covered with millions of flies so unable to sit outside or lay by pool.

From the manager: Hi Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and for adding photos — we really appreciate it!

We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the pool area, the food at our restaurant, the freedom to choose your pitch, and especially that you felt well looked after by our team. It's great to know that those aspects made your stay enjoyable.

Regarding the flies, you're absolutely right — during certain times of the year, the surrounding fruit greenhouses can lead to an increased presence of insects. We are continuously working with preventive treatments to reduce their impact while staying environmentally responsible.

Also, thank you for the note about GPS directions. We always recommend using the main road via Villaricos for better access, and we’ll look into communicating this more clearly in our pre-arrival information.

It’s a pleasure to know that you would consider staying again. We'd love to welcome you back in a more fly-free season!

Warm regards,
Soraya T

From the manager: Bonjour Georges,

Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire positif. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la propreté, le calme, les équipements, l’emplacement et surtout la gentillesse de notre équipe. C’est une vraie récompense pour nous !

Nous comprenons parfaitement votre remarque concernant la présence des mouches. Malheureusement, notre camping est entouré de serres agricoles, ce qui peut accentuer ce phénomène à certaines périodes. Nous appliquons régulièrement des traitements respectueux de l’environnement pour en limiter l’impact.

Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau pour un futur séjour encore plus agréable.

Bien cordialement,
Soraya T

Well maintained from bathrooms to wash areas, pool and restaurant.
Nice location to the beach just a 5 minute walk away.
Staff were very friendly.

I will certainly be going back here.

Martin C.

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked A really pleasant and welcoming site.
Obviously recently revamped and in excellent order. Everything very clean.
Large (for Spain; very large), level pitches.
10A electric
Beach and cycle tracks (but alongside main road) nearby.
On the edge of a village/urbanisation and the town of Vera is close by.

Arrived here by chance, having left a site in Cabo that we found wholly inadequate. Booked for 1 day but quickly added another 4, before having to head home.
Lucky to have got on as it filled over the weekend.
Will definitely be back here.

Disliked A bit of road and factory noise but nothing major.
Showers hot but temperature fluctuates.

Local attractions

If you love a good Sunday afternoon Spaghetti Western, a jaunt into the Tabernas Desert is an absolute must. The desert was the setting for many a Wild West showdown in the Hollywood heyday of dusty shoot-em-ups, and the Western towns of Fort Bravo, Oasys and Western Leone, built specifically for the movies and all about an hour away, are now theme parks. Those more comfortable in the big wide open should make tracks for one of the nearby Natural Parks: Cabo de Gata-Nijar, an hour and 15 minutes from the site, is a top destination for anyone who wants to dive below the waves, while Sierra de María-Los Velez (an hour) has plenty to entice twitchers and history buffs (find your way to Cueva de los Letreros for millennia-old cave paintings). For an urban experience, make the hour-long drive to Almeria to poke around museums (the Museo Refugio de la Guerra Civil and Casa del Cine come highly recommended), to wander the scenic streets and burn a hole in that credit card. Kids not up for traipsing around the city? Opt instead for a stop at AquaVera waterpark or an evening’s adrenaline rush at the go-karting circuit in Garrucha.
