starvin marvin Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Can anyone advise on a suitable site open in January close to good public transport links into the city to see the sights please? Its personal recommendation I'm interested in if possible. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Madge Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Tony, We stayed at Camping Municipal Brillante in Cordoba some years ago. http://www.campingelbrillante.com GPS N37 54.02 W4 47.22 City site with good facilities. Within walking distance of the sights of Cordoba very quiet at end October and very pleasant. We stayed here only to visit the Mesquita, the Moorish Mosque, which is indescribable. An essential place to visit. There is another site Camping Los Villares about five miles north of the city. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkmoy Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Stayed at El Brillante a few weeks ago. I don't know of any others in the city. There are some very small pitches and we were given one alongside a wall. It stank of urine and was very hot. I got us moved to one on the avenue opposite. It was a lot bigger and shaded therefore a completely different experience. I have a box fitted to the MH which deals with reverse polarity and shows other problems. It indicated an earthing problem on the site so beware. We couldn't use the electric even if we wanted because the box kept buzzing! Facilities are a bit tired but were clean and adequate. There are restaurants and a Carrefour within walking distance but the Mesquita is not. There is a public car park not too far from the Mesquita and the attendant was very helpful in opening another entrance for us as the ordinary car one was too tight. He also sited us so that we didn't take up 2 spaces and have to pay double. Being a city there is public transport but I can't advise as we didn't use it. Finally as Don says don't miss the Mesquita. I preferred it to the Alhambra - more atmospheric IMHO. Hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooty10 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 We stayed at El Brillante a couple of years ago and had no problem walking to the great Mosque and all around the city. Not a great site but good location. Have fun Sooty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starvin marvin Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for that, it sounds a bit like the site we stayed at last year in Granada for the Alhambra, which wasn't particularly good but did the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minstrel Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 We went to Camping Brillante last November, found it quiet and clean. There is a bus which goes into the centre - the walk is fine one way but not there and back. The receptionist will help you, but the return bus doesn't leave from the same street, ask the receptionist. I recommend that you spend some time there in the evening as well as daytime. Historice buildings are floodlit and there are lots of people around in the town centre - families with children shopping. Cordoba was the absolute highlight of our Spanish trip.
