A bit of knowledge required if you don't mind.

We are looking for a Spanish site preferably within an hour or so of Barcelona (Not El Delfin which we love but we want to try something new next year). Ideally it needs to have beach access and be of a decent quality.

Any ideas greatfully received. Thanks.

My preference is Aquarius - about 1 1/2 hours to barcelona, however, loads to do in this region. Brilliant site, with direct beach access, however, no pool

Next door is L'amfora, big site with beach access and several pools. Lacks the intimate atmosphere of Aquarius.

In the same area, you will also find Belena Alegra 2, Las Dunas and Nautic Almata all good sites with great reputations - Balena Alegre 2 and Las Dunas are probably better for teenagers as they share a nightclub (personally I see that as a reason to avoid)

One thing that I notice about Aquarius is that the kids tend to mix very well with kids from other countries (due to its small size) on other sites I do not see this

We liked Vilanova park at Sitges just south of Barcelona. It has all you could want exceptdirect beach access but it is only a couple of minutes by car to a huge sandy beach. Sitges is a nice older real Spanish resort.

A local train will take you into Barcelona which is a great city.

Have a look at Playa Montroig Camping Resort, it's South of Barcelona. A bit pricey if you stay on the beachfront pitches but it has everything.....
