Another nice campsite near Madrid Monte Holiday

Well we certainly are picking campsites that are off the beaten track but amazing. We have always stayed at El Escorial but this one is so much nicer. The roads out of Los Batanes to here were somewhat challenging but spectacular. Co incidentally both these campsites are in the camping red group. This one does a better deal than SCSI. 3 nights for the price of two so guess how long we are staying here?! Its slightly cooler but very pleasant. Its still about 22 but there's snow on the mountains and it started to snow as we arrived but it was so warm-totally mad! The entrance road to this site could be a bit tricky and not suitable for larger units but apart from that it has everything going for it. Views to die for, a lively and lovely bar and restaurant that are open all day

Well it would have been rude not to. They went to all the trouble of opening! Note the snow on the mountains! 

OK so lovely facilities and some nice little touches...dishwashers for campers

I kid you not 3 half size dishwashers for campers! Oh yes we be all seen washing machines before but only 3 euros! There's loads of activities from assault courses to zip wires etc. The only thing that isn't open yet is the lovely outdoor pool. Oh free and good WiFi. I have just been to the loo ( too much information?!) its little things that I like. Lights that stay on! None of these automatic sensor ones that go out when you are in the middle of doing something! There are little wooden steps for kiddies to use the facilities. Its all very Spanish but lovely. If you left those little steps out at Marjal they d be gone! Why are these so different?! 

The only downside to this place apart from it being seasanol are the pitches. The touring pitches are probably in the  best part of the campsite but some are a little small. We were lucky and got a decent sized pitch near all the amenities

Yes the grass on the pitches is...hmm don't know how it would cope in wet weather?! Rustic?! Quirky? Not sure how I would describe this place but nice! Loving the greenery I guess!

If that pool were open it would be amazing!

Anyone for tennis?! 

The wine took over last night after getting here so I'm looking forward to exploring. Apart from the camp shop I think that the nearest civilisation could be a few miles away! And being a true and canny Yorkshire lass its washing day today so I can start the Tour with clean everything. I can't believe we start on Tuesday. I just hope some of the motorhomes are well stocked as we are staying here for 5 nights! 

Well folks another great campsite-cheaper than SCSI and certainly different with a nice twist!
