Yes, it's a castle. A real-life castle in Andalusia. And you get to park your caravan or motorhome in the grounds – pretty nice, eh?
Castillo Al Málaga is in the hills of the Limonar district, about four miles from the centre of Málaga. The elegant building dates back to the 1950s, when Jose Antonio Vasquez purchased the land and set about building a fabulous home that would entice his future wife away from city life. (Yes, it worked… well, you would, wouldn't you?)
These days, the place is run as an events venue, but part of the estate has been given over to the touring site, allowing guests to share in the peaceful atmosphere and the gorgeous views over the city towards the Mediterranean Sea. Pitches are nicely sized and family friendly, with plenty of space for awnings, bikes and any other bits you may have brought along.
Guests here have access to all the essential amenities including toilets, hot showers, a launderette and a wifi service, along with a sociable barbecue area (although please note barbecues may be banned for safety reasons in very hot or dry weather). Although certain parts of the estate are reserved for main-venue guests, you’ll be able to wander about a little bit on site – handy if you've got a dog that needs to stretch their paws.

Local attractions
Málaga city centre (15 minutes' drive) is likely to be your main focus of attention – it’s a lovely city with a good number of historic attractions and museums as well as some nice beaches. The Moorish Alcazaba, Roman amphitheatre and Gibralfaro Castle are good places for a hit of history, with the Centre Pompidou Malaga and Picasso Museum on hand for your art fix. There are also, of course, lots of great places to grab a drink and some tapas.
For a change from the city, head up into the hills of the Montes de Malaga Natural Park, just behind the castle. Well-marked bike/hiking trails start just a few minutes' drive away, and daredevils can hit downhill trails at BikePark Málaga (10 minutes) too. For a spectacular sunset view, head to places like Mirador de la Unidad (10 minutes) or Mirador Del Cochino (20 minutes).
Elsewhere along the coast, you may like to sign up for scuba diving, snorkelling and canyoning outings, hit the beach in Benajarafe (20 minutes) or go underground at the Nerja caves (40 minutes).
