Cabo de Gata is a jewel in south-eastern Spain that seems tailor-made for the motorhome traveller. With its unspoilt beaches, volcanic formations and natural viewpoints, this park offers you an experience deep in nature, free from the crowds of other beach destinations. Here you can wake up facing the sea, with no company but the sound of the waves and the volcanic landscape.
Overnight areas: from San José, which combines beach proximity with basic services like electricity and drinking water, to Agua Amarga, where you can stay near the coast and enjoy facilities such as showers, wifi and electricity at an affordable price.
Must-see beaches: Los Genoveses beach and Mónsul beach, both near San José and reachable with a short walk. If you're after something quieter, Cala de Enmedio is ideal. For family beaches, Cuatro Calas and Playa del Barronal are an excellent choice.
Tip: October and May are perfect months, with mild temperatures and fewer visitors. Use Park4Night to make sure the overnight spot is free of restrictions. Respect the environment — it's a protected nature park.
