L'Amfora is a great site - excellent facilities, pools etc. I prefer the site next door, Camping Aquarius, which is smaller and doesn't have a pool, but is and extremely friendly site and immaculately well run and maintained - If a pool is important, go to L'Amfora, otherwise Aquarius would be my preference.

In terms of the area, L'Amfora is 1.5 hours south of Perpignan. The camp site is in a National Park on the Bay of Rosas, which is a 10 mile stretch of undeveloped coastline - no hotel, just miles of relatively uncrowded white sand dunes and safe warm sea. Lots of water sports in the area, with several sailing and windsurfing schools.

In terms of places to visit - there are many, depending on what you like to do - within 10 mile there are: The castle in Figueras is one of the most facinating in Europe, The Dali Museum in Figueras attracts visitors from all over the world, There is a great water park in Ampuria Brava, The Roman Ruins in Ampurius is vast and great fun, there is a carting track in L'Escala, where Fernando Alonso started his racing carier. The towns of Rosas, L'escala and Figueras are all worth a visit. You can Head into the Pyranese as they are 30 minutes drive. Barcelona is 2 hours drive
