This was our first time trying this type of holiday, and overall, we had a great experience.

We stayed for two weeks in the summer (July)—our first time doing this type of holiday, and overall, it was a great experience.

Getting There: We flew into Barcelona Airport and pre-booked a transfer through Sun Transfers at a cost of €180 for a 40-minute journey. In hindsight, we realized there’s a bus that stops right outside the campsite, which would have been a fraction of the cost—though a bit slower.

Arrival and Accommodation: On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by reception staff and given a map to our 3-bedroom Azure caravan. As expected, the caravan was compact but perfectly adequate for our needs. We were lucky to be located in a quiet area and had a nice veranda equipped with a table, chairs, bench seating, a couple of loungers, and a BBQ (which we didn’t use). The caravan was clean, and the beds were comfortable.

Pool and Facilities: The pool area was a highlight—large, clean, and well-maintained. There’s a section for kids with a water bucket and small slide, and a larger pool with slides, a waterfall, and a jacuzzi. Loungers were available, though limited in number. The pool opens at 10am, and there was always a queue, but we were fine laying our towels on the grass. Lifeguards were attentive, and food wasn’t allowed by the pool, which helped keep things clean. Drinks (including water) were allowed, and there’s a pool bar just outside that also serves pizza and snacks.

Entertainment: There were some children’s activities during the day, but they were mostly in Spanish, which made participation a bit harder. Evening entertainment took place near the pool bar—space was limited, so we often just relaxed on our veranda and enjoyed the music from a distance with a drink in hand. Shops and Restaurants: The on-site mini supermarket had most essentials, albeit at slightly higher prices. There’s also a restaurant and bar on site—we had drinks there but didn’t dine. For more affordable options, there’s a nearby supermarket out the back gate (near the school) and a smaller shop directly across from the main entrance.

Access and Transport: As a Eurocamp guest, you’re given a bracelet for site access. There’s a back gate you can swipe open, which provides a quicker walking route into Sitges. The bus stop at the front of the campsite offers services to Sitges and Barcelona. However, it’s a fixed price fare all the way to Barcelona, so if you’re just going into Sitges, it’s cheaper to use the back exit and catch the local bus near the school.

We visited Sitges today and had a fantastic lunch at La Oca, a family-run spot known for its Catalan cuisine. The rotisserie chicken was absolutely delicious. The boys opted for pizza and declared it the best ever, already asking to return another night!

After a day of exploring, we spent the evening relaxing on the verandah. Even as the sun set, it was still a warm 27°C—a perfect end to a lovely day.

We had an absolute blast today soaking up the sunshine and making the most of the pool. The kids were full of energy, diving, splashing, and playing their favourite games. Lewis is getting more confident in the water, which is great to see. It’s always wonderful to see them enjoying the water and each other’s company.

After a day of fun and laughter, we wrapped up with some refreshing drinks and snacks by the poolside. It was the perfect way to cool down and reflect on a day well spent.​

Looking forward to more days like this, filled with sunshine, laughter, and family fun.

What a gorgeous start to our time in Sitges! We kicked off the day with some fun at the beach, enjoying the soft sand and the refreshing Mediterranean waters.​

After soaking up the sun, we strolled along the palm-lined Passeig Marítim, taking in the vibrant atmosphere and exploring the charming old town. The historic buildings and narrow streets added a touch of magic to our walk.​

By the end of the day, we had clocked up an impressive 21,000 steps! Despite feeling a bit knackered, we managed to squeeze in some time at the pool before grabbing a late dinner. The kids still had energy to burn, so we wrapped up the evening with some fun at the park.​

A perfect blend of relaxation and adventure to kick off our holiday.

We’re off on our adventure to Camping El Garrofer in Sitges, just an hour out of Barcelona. We arrived and by 5pm , we were already hitting the pool and lounging under the sun. The campsite’s pool complex is fantastic, featuring a main pool, children’s pool, slides, a waterfall and jacuzzi. There’s also a sunbathing area with loungers and umbrellas, perfect for relaxing after the journey.

Now, we’re sitting and relaxing on the veranda, and it’s still toasty. Looking forward to the days ahead!
