Up early-ish on Mon (22nd) and set sail from the pleasant Don Cactus, but now a midweek ghost-town. 5 hours and 2 short stops through uninspiring countryside we arrive at Eco Marjal. What a revelation. 
Only open 18 months but an out-and-out ‘Wonder World’. Wide open reception area and parking for a dozen motorhomes. A reception building bigger than some hotels I’ve been to. Polite, efficient and helpful staff. ACSI €14 per night which includes electricity, SPA, TV, water and grey water disposal on pitch. Huge pitch, level and only a minor kerb. Young trees but thoughtfully planted and in 5 years it’ll be a picture. Swimming pool, supermarket, bar, restaurant, entertainment programme, keep fit classes, Petanca, mini-golf, kiddies playpark out of the way, superbe and plentiful washing and washing-up facilities. The Spanish semi-permanents have their own area and many other permanents are spread about. It is very difficult to fault this camp site! A lot of thought and money has gone into it and they’ve got it right. They even consult and LISTEN to campers re improvements! 
The only minor drawback is that it is in the middle of nowhere. Murcia and Alicante are 25 kms away and Guardamar 18kms by bike. There is a train station but it's 15 mins by car. No car – you’re a bit stuck due to no buses!:shout:
However, although the isolation is not a problem for some, we like to be a bit closer to civilisation and be able to get into Spain a bit more easily. Having said that, many, many others love it here and it's not difficult to see why. Well done, Eco-Marjal.:thumb:
