La Manga La Manga

Walking and cycling in the locality are popular, but it’s also a great site for simply relaxing, with the convivial tapas bar on the beach a favourite spot for passing the time.

The peak period is December to mid-March, while other times are generally quieter, although during Semana Santa (Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday), the campsite and the local area are likely to be very busy as Spanish campers come to celebrate. During this week local celebrations can last well into the night and provide an insight into how Spanish people love a fiesta.

For long stays during the peak period (Christmas through to mid-March), early booking for your full intended length of stay is essential.
