Positiv: I booked my site at Treveléz from the highway between Spain and Portugal (where I live) as I realized that it was more than 2 hours to get to the camp site and I would be arriving late.
The road took me over the Sierra Nevada mountains past a ski slope and kids throwing snow balls then down a long, narrow and winding road through a valley and then back up to the town of Treveléz - reputed to be the highest town in Spain - through numerous other villages perched on the side of the mountain.
Eventually I arrived at the camp site and was greeted by a very friendly french guy who is the manager of the site. The camp site is on a steep hill with various levels. I eventually chose the top level (5) which had the best views and the best camping sites - although a fair distance from the facilites. Of course, visiting a camp site in winter surrounded by snow capped mountains meant cold weather and it was already late. Prior to my arrival, I had (with some difficulty!) found some suitable food in the town which I then settled down to cook (sadly no braais allowed as it’s in a national park) with a well-earned beer.
After a cold night, the sun was a welcome addition the next morning and after breakfast, I set off for a walk. The walk from the camp site is 2km and then you follow the signs to the high point and view of the town which provides a great view of the surroundings. Next, I looked for a short hike and finally settled for the start of the most famous walk which is called the 'Seite Lagunas' which means 7 lagoons or lakes. I walked uphill for an hour and suitably exhausted enjoyed that stunning views of the town and the Treveléz river valley. The full walk is 17km there and back and you go uphill for 1500m! I would need a full day for that.
I had planned to walk to the river from the town after that but that, too would have been a lot of up and down that there was still the 2km back to camp. Returned and enjoyed the views over a beer for a while before making some food and settling in for the night.
Next day was equally beautiful, but I had to head the 700km back to the Algarve.
Easier said than done. After packing up and ready to go, turning the car key revealed what we all dread - no power. I took the trek down to the office to see what my options were. No local mechanic - nearest was in a town many Kms away. This is were true service shows itself! The manager came up to the camp site with his jumper cables and we tried for a while to start the car. He then went back down and returned with an extention cable and turned on the closest power point so that I could hook up my charger. 45 minutes was enough to get the car started so I am eternally thankful for his excellent service. People like this aren't easy to find.

Positiv: Todos los establecimiento están muy limpios, no muy nuevos, pero funcionan perfectamente. Las duchas son bastantes y con agua bien caliente.
La piscina es bastante grande, limpia, con el agua fresca y salada.
La parcela es suficientemente grande para 2 tiendas, zona de comedor y un coche.
La chica de recepción es muy amable y atenta. Y el sitio es espectacular 😁 en la altura de 1500 con las vistas al valle y el pueblo Trevélez.
El pueblo está a 1 km del camping y se puede llegar andando por la carretera o al lado de la acequia.
