Camping La Rosaleda

Of all the many small Spanish towns and villages in the Cádiz area around Camping La Rosaleda, the closest (and quite famed) is Conil de la Frontera, the seaside town with six long sandy beaches and a weekly beachside market: you could spend pretty much all your hol here just basking with a book on the sands (wistful sigh). Other townie days out in the area are easy to arrive at: try Chiclana de la Frontera, Jerez de la Frontera, Vejer de la Frontera, Medina Sidonia, Barbate, Zahara de los Atunes and San Fernando; for a splendid city day or two, make it a mission to get to the province capital Cádiz, one of the oldest cities in Europe. If you're looking for something outside the urban, go and see the horse riding at the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre (a bit of a must), taste the region's wine at Bodega Gonzáliz Byass, Bodegas Caballero Castillo San Marcos, Bodegas Osborne, Bodegas Williams and Humbert (ditto), or wander the botanic garden at the Zoo Botánico in Jerez. And if you're looking for something outside mature and grownup pursuits, both Aqualand theme park and the Aventura Marina aquarium are within easy reach.
