  • Wildlife haven site in the Sierra de la Culebra
  • On the banks of a river with spectacular views of Valparaiso reservoir
  • Direct access to a beach; bar-restaurant terrace with beach views
Spanish nature hol, anyone? With spectacular reservoir views, a sandy beach… and a Castile and Leon setting among the wildlife haven of the Sierra de la Culebra? Make for Camping Los Molinos. Wildlife – and wolf – spotters will be in their element around here: the 95-kilometre stretch of the Sierra de la Culebra is famed in Europe as one of the last remaining habitats of the Iberian wolf, who roam around this Iberian Peninsula setting of north-western Spain and north-eastern Portugal. Montesinho Natural Park, within the mountain range and over the border in Portugal, is home too to roe and red deer, wild boar, foxes, otters and Iberian lynxes; in the other direction, birdwatching is at the wetlands around Vinhais an hour’s drive away. The site is in the Zamora Province, by the Tera river and close to the clear waters of Valparaiso reservoir which can be seen from the Molinos grounds. It has direct access to a small beach for sunbathing, kayaking, swimming and fishing… if this sounds a tad too energetic, claim a spot on the bar-restaurant terrace for beach views. There’s an indoor dining room at the restaurant too, as well as a big woodburning barbecue grilling fresh local meat.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Le camping est sympa. Situé au bord d'une base de loisirs. Les sanitaires sont propres. Il y des emplacements pour des campings car longs. Il y a un bar restaurant à l'entrée que nous n'avons pas testé. Le camping est calme.

Disliked Dommage que l'on ne puisse pas partir avant 9 heures quand on est juste de passage.

Juan H. 1 review

Electric optional grass and earth touring caravan pitch

Liked Una ubicación bastante buena. Es una zona rica en fauna ibérica y muy recomendable para fotógrafos de fauna, acogedor y la chica de recepción muy amable.

Disliked La limpieza de los baños (duchas), no era del todo limpia.
Desayunar es imposible. La zona más cercana estaba a 20 min en coche, el bar del camping cerrado a las 11:30 (no sé si más tarde abrirán).
La zona de las motos de agua y lanchas, muy cerca de la zona de playa, olía a gasolina y el agua iba a la zona de baño público.

Liked La playa fluvial, tranquilidad, servicios limpios, en e bar restaurante calentamos bien y el personal amable. Por la noche baja la temperatura y dormimos genial

Disliked Se ve que reformaron hace poco los baños y no cambiaron la salida de agua de la duchas, salía mal, el plano del camping que te Dan no está bien.

Local attractions

Delve into more local cuisine by buzzing along to the honey centre in Sagallos (five minutes’ drive), or dig some ancient history with a subterranean adventure to see the rock paintings at Linarejos 20 minutes from the site. Architecture aficionados should like the old buildings and ‘hell’s bridge’ at Santa Cruz de los Cuérragos, 25 minutes’ drive east; the same distance to the west, the ancient town of Puebla de Sanabria, one of the oldest in the province, has a fort and a 16th-century castle to potter around, as well as a 13th-century church and the 16th-century town hall. Just west of Puebla de Sanabria, Sanabria Lake 40 minutes from Camping Los Molinos is worth a look: it’s the biggest glacial lake in the Iberian Peninsula and is surrounded by the Sanabria Lake Natural Park. Wildlife thrives in these parts too; drop into the interpretation centre at San Martín de Castañeda for info, set in an old monastery building once owned by medieval Cistercians. Wolf-spotting tours can be booked in Villafafila, an hour and 10 minutes away.
