Summer Escapes Away from the Costa-del-Locos

19/8/2012

 

Bermejales

Picture
Just outside the town of Alhama de Granada - a place famous for its hot springs, tapas and spectacular gorge - lies the Embalse de Bermajales.
This pine forest encircled lake is a great get-a-way at any time of the year for a swim, a picnic, a walk with the dog or just to breath in the fresh air of the sierras.
Obviously in August it can get a little busy, with the camp-site alongside full up, the bars busy with weekenders and the surrounding towns packed with locals looking for a spot to cool off. But the area is vast and you can nearly always find a spot to yourself. There are a few bars close by, including the camp site restaurant that offers  a lot better value -  in the humble opinion of this user. The water is warm, clear and although there is an absence of golden sand, more of a muddy shore-line really - once you are in the water the 360 degrees view is better than you will find along any of the busier coastal resorts.
