Camping Batán de las Monjas

Camping Batán de las Monjas' greenly scenic setting In the Sierra Norte Natural Park is within easy reach of outdoorsy options such as horse riding, cycling, hiking and fishing. Seasoned cyclists can join the Via Verde trail, an 18-kilometre-long greenway following the Huéznar river alongside an old mining railway, and braver beings can go climbing at the famed Cerro del Hierro, five kilometres south of San Nicolás del Puerto on the road between Constantina and Cazalla. Huéznar waterfalls, around seven kilometres from base, are a fab spot for wildlife watching; if you're a keen photographer this is a prime opp for a nature-based snap fest too – keep your lens at the ready for the grey heron, kingfishers, otters, Spanish pond turtles and other creatures. Andalusia is also famed for its gastronomy and artisanal local produce: dedicate some time to visiting one of its many traditional bodegas de vino, anise distilleries and Iberian ham farms.
