Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Modest campsite with what amounts to its own private cove, in the headland just north of Platja d'Aro.

Platja d'Aro or Playa D'Aro is the beach area of the village of Castell d'Aro, the muncipality as a whole having statistics like these: population, around 7,000; number of hotel beds, nearly 5,000; number of second homes, over 9,000. So it is an important resort, if a little too residential for some tastes. The village of Castell d'Aro itself has a very partially restored ruined castle and little else, even the town hall having been moved down to the beach decades ago.
