We are off to Spain at the end of March. Does anybody know if the camperstop Càmping Sol de Calp Austral in Calpe is still open please? We stayed there last year. The other camperstops owned by this business in Calpe had closed to make way for apartment blocks and I wonder if this one has befallen that fate.

Edit. To be clear I am not referring to the campsite Camping Calpe Mar further along the road. Their pitches are too small for us.
 
peterc10 - think Astral looked open when we were in Calpe last week 👍 as was Mediterraneo & Paraiso, the campsite opposite Aldi was in the final stages of being demolished 😞, and another campsite near Lidl was closed. Lots of building work ongoing with several high rise luxury apartment blocks being constructed, quite a bit of building noise

The part with the bar and swimming pool was closed last year and they were building on it. Only the part nearer to the main road was open last year.

Looks like it's still open it's a good spot not to far to the old town or beach, the other camper stops are a bit far out.

Looks like we won't get away until mid April now, just had a call from the hospital I can get the OP on my hand done on 27th March.

Hi Harvey, let us know if you hear anything. We will probably in the area by 6th or 7th April. May stay for a short while at the Moraira car park just along the coast

Not quite sure when we will be there yet Peter, probably a similar time as you… Will keep you posted! 👍🏻

What’s the Moraira park up like Al? Is it the rough ground car park near the harbour? Have you a google pin you can share please, assuming it’s any good? 👍🏻

EDIT: sorry was thinking of Denia 🙃 Be good to have the pin though! 👍🏻
 
No it’s the big market carpark Harvey, we really like it here mate, there is a German pillock with his chairs out and I feel like knocking him out of it tbh.

There’s also some waste land behind it which is nice and flat but looks like they’ve had some rain and it’s got a few puddles here and there

It’s a lovely spot and a little bit upmarket

I’m at the blue spot and here it is

We always park on the rough ground behind. Not bad as long as it has not rained heavily, then it will be claggy. Otherwise you are in danger of being moved on early for the Friday market. The other problem is that there is not any clean water and have to sneak in to the leisure centre toilets, if they are unlocked, which is not very often.

Trouble is that Easter is late this year, in the middle of April. Lots of Spanish have motorhomes now and they flock to the beaches for the Easter weekend.

Remember it is the week leading up to Easter is the holiday week, it ends on Easter Sunday, all quiet again on what we call Easter Monday.

Yep we were in Calpe for last Easter. They have some impressive parades all through the week. They are for the residents rather than the tourists.
 
We stayed at Paraiso earlier this month. Site was full but always worth an email as she does have cancellations. Not that far off either beach and closer to Aldi than Lidl.

Are you sure Lenny? I was referring to Easter last year. Can't remember meeting you there.

A couple of years before that (or maybe more) you were on the other (now closed) Camping Sol de Calp site near Aldi. At the same time we were staying on the Mediterranea Camper Area, with that reprobate BreweryDave and his lovely wife, Jackie, who led us astray. It was not the first time, because they had form for doing that to many god fearing funsters. :rofl: :rofl:

Edited to Aldi not Lidl :doh: :doh:

Camping Calpe Mar have some larger pitches for an extra cost. They are placed mostly at the top end of the site between the high rise apartments.
 
So we passed Austral on friday morning around 11am and it looked rammed

Fuel just at the next roundabout was 1.34e so filled up there and we’re on Villasol for 2 weeks catching up with friends before going further south

hi Harvey

we will end up there eventually, usually stay at Area Narejos

We’re booked onto El Pinet camper park at La Marina on 14th March for a week or 2 so if your headed up i’d recommend it. After that Los Narejos and heading then for Herrajura and Nerja.

Be great to meet up somewhere and put the world to rights over a vino or 6 😉👍
