Looking for a place to temporarily site a caravan in the Alpujarras

Postby Jon Burns » Fri May 25, 2018 5:07 pm

Having spent a little time in Lanjaron we're keen to repeat the experience but the thought occurred that it would be nice to drive down again but bringing our caravan this time.

Although we can site it at a regular campsite we have had great success in the past in renting a "pitch" from local farmers, people with large gardens or smallholdings etc. The immersive effect is so much better than a campsite. We don't need much in the way of facilities just access to water and somewhere to empty the cassette loo. We have solar for electricity.

We'd be glad glad of any pointers on how to go about locating somewhere suitable. Is there a newspaper aimed at expats in that general area that carries classified ads? We didn't come across anything when we were last there. I haven't so far found anything like that online.
As we want to spend a couple of months over the winter in the area (when many campsites not on the coast are likely to be closed) we think it might be prudent to start looking well before arriving.

We'd be grateful for any comment.

Hopefully you will find something but if not and you settle for the coast there is a site at La Cala Del moral that is new and open all year. Very full this winter with mainly motorhomes.
Also it will be freezing up there in the winter so you may fancy a few weeks on the coast.

You could try facebook. Here is a link for the Contraviesa which is just across from the "Alpujaras. Albuñol, Albondón, Alpujarra y Costa Tropical" This run by an ex pat. Lanjoron also has a facebook page. Might lead you to more information etc.
