Bungalodge Camping Sant Pol

Get started in Sant Feliu de Guíxols with a tour of the stunning 10th-century Benedictine monastery, paying special attention to its Roman-era elements and the altarpieces preserved in the museum. That might not enthral kids, but luckily there’s plenty else nearby to grab their attention: bring them to the toy museum in Sant Feliu, then hit up the fairground rides at Giravolt Parc and the slides at Aquadiver waterpark, and let off steam at Parc Aventura (climbing, caving and paintball), all within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. The grownups aren’t forgotten around here either: traipse around the stunningly scenic villages of Pals, Monells and Peratallada within 40 minutes, or travel just a little further to Figueres (an hour away) for the Dalí museum, castles, churches and plenty of art. Fancy a more urban experience? The city of Girona is a little over half an hour away and worth a visit for its Gothic cathedral (which has the widest nave in the world), Arabian Baths and the views you’ll get while strolling along the top of the Carolingian wall. Not enough city for you? Barcelona is just under an hour and a half from base…
