Camping Los Gazules

For day trips within an hour's drive, venture out to Algeciras to cruise traditional teashops, bakeries and restaurants in the Moroccan quarter; Jerez de la Frontera for its famed flamenco music and 11th-century Moorish fortress, and to the ancient port city of Cádiz for a stroll around the city’s 100 watchtowers and 18th-century waterfront cathedral. Elsewhere, other outdoorsy and nature-based pursuits are all within your holiday grasp from here: try birdwatching around the Barbate Marshes Natural Park 12 kilometres away; climbing and mountaineering in Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park; and hiking, estuary and coastal fishing, birdwatching and beaches in the Bahia de Cádiz Natural Park. For kid-friendly days out, the slides, flumes and tropical pools of Aqualand Bahía de Cádiz and sandy beaches along the cracking Costa de la Luz are all within an hour’s drive too.
