Camping Malvarrosa de Corinto (2ª)

Respuesta camping: My name is Felicity, and I suppose I am the "elder English lady" refered to above, although I do not accept the adjective arrogant. I ALWAYS try to be as helpful to our clients as possible, as do all the staff. I speak Leer respuesta completa3 languages (English, Spanish & German), another receptionist speaks 5 (Spanish, English, German, French & Italian) and we are always on hand, or on the end of the telephone, if there are any REAL communication problems. We ARE in Spain, after all! If we wrote all the notices in all languages the place would be covered in paper, so we try to use pictures and drawings as much as possible, such as a dog defecating with a cross through it! If 'archer' has a better idea, PLEASE let us know. Our beach is a protected natural beach, due to the variety of flowers, plants, insects and birds here, and therefore is cleaned by hand by the local council, and not by those huge machines that destroy everything in their path. If you want a sandy beach, there are lots within walking distance or a few minutes' drive away. We have 22 places for tents with electricity, as most people with tents do not wish to plug in, and those are all in the 'camping libre' area, and of course in August we ARE busy, as we are a popular campsite. The area nearest the beach is for caravans and autocaravans only because stones have been put there to firm the ground, and it is almost impossible to peg a tent down there. We do not make reservations - we run a 'first come, first served' system. It is not a question of being 'an old friend' or of paying more. I'm afraid the 'smell of petrol' has me totally baffled, so I really can't answer that. Perhaps the scent of Galan de Noche, lemon blossom, roses, thyme and all the other aromatic plants we have here confused archer's nose. I am sorry that he/she didn't enjoy his/her stay with us, but the 'regulars' obviously do, because some have had holiday places here for 20 years or more. We must be doing something right! Please come and judge for yourselves.
