campsites north spain

[paulrw]

hi, does anyone have info on campsites west of santander near the coast ? the tourist site does'nt really state whether the sites take tents. it's always a bit of a disaster finding a site then realising it's a caravan park. I'm heading west along the coast then down to Lisbon and on from there. Also,are they likely to be open in early
may? Any info greatly appreciated,thanks.

Comillas has an OK campsite which defo takes tents.

I think the one further west at Oyambre beach does too.

There are a couple near Quevada approx 50km West of Santander

I cycled Santander to Malaga more or less on the coast in Early April a few years back and and finding campsites open was a bit patchy particulaly around the big towns

Cheers,Comillas sounds ok for a first day and I suppose once over there info will be more easy to obtain.

There are good sites at San Vincente de la Baquera and Llanes. In fact the area is littered with them. I never found a Spanish site that was caravans only.

Thanks for that,cc,have you cycled the area ?

Yes, it was my first ever tour. Just brilliant, a lovely area, it's got everything.
