After a hectic festival week and a week of pouring rain, we felt the need for a more luxurious and comfortable campsite. We have now found a super nice campsite called El Templo del Sol, a bit southwest of Tarragona. Here you are greeted by service buildings in Arabic style and when you enter through the glass doors to the reception, it feels like entering a finer hotel.

El Templo del Sol
El Templo del Sol is a naturist campsite located in L'Hospitalet de l'Infant, not far from Tarragona. Campsites is really nice and well maintained, and all the houses in the area are designed in Arabic style. Now, in the low season, you have to pay about 20 euros/night to stay here, and that includes electricity.
Naturist campsite deluxe
What about naturist camping? Well, if the weather's nice, people can sunbathe naked on the beach and on their camping pitches if they want to (a bit too chilly now, though), but in the reception, bar and shop, clothes are required.
Great beach and pools
The beach is right next door and is very nice, as is the large outdoor pool. It is too cold to swim in the outdoor pool right now, but there is also a large hot tub with warm water.
Good food and internet
We have stocked up on lots of good food and loaded more internet on our mobile phones. Now the plan is to stay here for a few days, have a good time and hopefully be able to train every day (if the wind allows us to pitch the tent). Or we can continue to train outdoors ...
Stormy weather in Spain
We have not only had good weather, but also some storms, and a few days ago it reached its peak. The weather report had warned of gale force winds of 28 m/s, and the winds were certainly that strong! People were running around the campsite like chickens to gather their belongings. Tents were taken down or tightened with more straps and outdoor furniture was folded up and lashed down.
The winds threw the car in all directions, gravel smashed against the side of the motorhome and the doormat, which we had left under the car, flew away. We were most fascinated by the mighty and somewhat scary cloud that formed in the sky, and which changed shape throughout the evening... We wondered what would happen, but eventually the cloud dissolved. Today we woke up to sunshine and calm.

It was nice to feel a little luxury, after all the trouble you had with the heat. I think it is nice to swim "textile-free" and I like to do it, but not too exposed. But I would never want to walk around a campsite without clothes.

Steve, haha, yes, it feels strange enough 😉.
Ama de casa, it's nice here!
🙂
Matts, well not me either really. But I like to sunbathe and swim without clothes, but preferably quite discreetly. Now in low season there is really no congestion here, so it's quiet. However, I don't even know if we will get so hot here ...
Åsa, haha, yes, right?!
😉
BP, it's not really that expensive. But in one year it will be, as you say, so it's a bit of a top price for us.
😉
Ditte, fingers crossed for better weather!

BP says:
WOW! Googled the place and it's really luxurious. If you get tired of compact living, you can always rent a bungalow.
20 Euros is nothing - really, but of course - you're out 365 days, so it's a lot of money...
Keeping my fingers crossed for sensible weather with you. Here the ice age with wind has returned...

Lars and Inger, we have at least been able to sunbathe for a little while today (warm in the sun if there is no wind)! Great that you want to follow us on the trip! Have you thought about travelling further south at some point?

Looks lovely and as others have said you may need to treat yourself to some luxury. We also have experience of naturist camping - without it really being the intention. We had come to Rygen, there was a heat wave and all the campsites were full. We got the last spot at this particular place and parked in the middle of something that felt like a rainforest - but it was shady anyway. I don't think we realised it was for nudists until we walked over the dunes to cool off in the sea. How silly we felt in swimwear where everyone else was fully nude! Only the ice-cream vendor was wearing shorts. In order not to feel like lurkers, we also took off our clothes and it was actually really nice. There were all ages and types of the human race so we were not deviant in any way (other than dressed) We actually stayed there for three days while the heat ebbed out.

I think it was Blondinbella who shaved with a naked man in the background on one of her blog pictures from the beach 🙂 you have to be alert! 🙂 sunbathing naked in a sunbed seems most uncomfortable but bathing is another matter.
