"Located in an amazing region, rich in places to visit. "

This small, pretty, verdant site, much loved by members for its welcoming, friendly and relaxing atmosphere, is set among mimosa, pepper, palm and eucalyptus trees on the Costa Tropical, and separated from a little grey sand beach by a gated bamboo windbreak. Castillo de Baños is popular with those who want something more than the coast alone, with many members staying for two months or longer, but the site is also convenient for breaking the journey between Mediterranean and Portuguese destinations. A regular coastal bus service passing the site offers links further afield, and while some of the mountain roads may be challenging in a motorhome there are many others that are less demanding. During the rally the stewards run economically priced coach trips to some wonderful regional attractions, including world class historic jewels such as the Alhambra Palace in Granada and Cordoba’s stunning Mesquite. Outside the rally period you will get the most out of this hugely rewarding area by using your own vehicle to get out and about. (Please remember that pets are not allowed on coaches or on public transport.) You may have heard of the intensive greenhouse horticulture en route to this delightful site, but immediately around Castillo de Baños this is minimal, while members who return year after year comment that the advantages of the area far outweigh any visual impact encountered further afield. Many of the best parts of beautiful Andalucía – an amazing region, rich in places to visit – are within easy day-trip reach, including not just Málaga and Granada, but also Almería, the mountains of the Sierra Nevada National Park, the Sierra de la Contraviesa and hills of the Alpujarras, the Sierra de Tejeda National Reserve, and the many coastal towns and villages both inland and on the coast between here and Almería and Málaga.
