Just make sure you get a good pitch. Ours was rubbish, no sun ,very small and expensive for a 10 day stay.
 
I think it depends what side if the road you end up in....the smaller south side seemed very sunny ?

It's sunny down the bottom away from the school. You've got to be ready to move if it floods though.

So you can get your chairs and awning out of course! If you get a nice pitch it can be a pleasant change. Water, showers, maybe EHU, local bus into town ... 😄

In Albir there's a nearby drinking water tap, I have an adequate shower in the van, with a solar panel & all that sun, who needs EHU?. Bus into Benny,100mtrs.

Admittedly, it's not done to get chairs out, if we want to sit, we just take chairs across the road & sit on the beach.

And we are saving app 15euros per day!

Yes I think Albir would be safer than Benidorm and as you say good bus service in and tram not too far away

All depends on your requirements Spigot...there's many more aspects to motor-homing than your "tunnel-vision view" and you should learn to respect all people's needs. Many have reduced mobility and need the support of ehu for warmth, buggy charging ect. Also, although this is called WC many users benefit from interacting herein without actually ever "wildcamping" (we do both) so think about that eh !!!! maja
 
We mix it up, so I can see both points of view. There's nothing better than adding up all the money you've saved by staying in a free Aire. But it's great also to settle into a secure site with friendly neighbours and all the facilities. And I've never seen an Aire with a pool. Enjoy wherever you are :)
 
I used to love the little municipal campsites that often had a swimming pool nearby that was free when you stayed on the site. Used to cost a few Francs!
 
Totally agree with last two posts as we enjoy free Aires/wilding too.(while still being young enough too LOL)...but, still say respect needed for those who prefer all that sites offer, and hence miffed by "why bother with sites" LOL !! Found a couple of Aires in France with free electric last year which was good fun. Also, on way south this Nov used a couple of Aires where you have 24hr electric and they collect €3/4 next day....that was cool. Oh, and in stunning locations too !! maja

"Tunnel vision" , Oxford English Dictionary= (1) Defective sight in which objects can only be properly seen if they close to the centre of the field of view. (2) (informal) the tendency to focus exclusively on a single or limited objective or view.

Sounds to me like a description of campsite dwellers!
