The western entrance through Santiago Gate is quite narrow, but we accessed it with a 7-meter overcab motorhome. The parking is regulated, but the spaces are wide, and you can encroach slightly onto the grass without bothering pedestrians. There is no prohibition against staying overnight. There are no facilities, but there are good views.Translating
Beautiful place. Narrow access for motorhomes, but we managed it.Translating
We arrived Saturday at noon and bought a ticket valid until Monday. During the week, you may park for only five hours. We are spending the night here. The food in town is excellent. Great atmosphere and a beautiful view. We stayed here with a 7-meter vehicle; the western gate was fine. I would not try the eastern gate—it is narrow and winding.Translating
Very beautiful view. Slept very well. Immediately next to the old town. Paid parking from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Free on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. However, visit the town after 10 a.m.; before that, it is dead. Market at the foot of the ramparts on Saturday. The western access passage is 3.05 m wide for only about 4 m. It is better to exit that way; the eastern exit is more winding and narrow, at 2.80 m.Translating
Beautiful place, at the foot of a town full of history; a very Spanish-style campsite, very pleasant, beside the landscaped river.Translating
It is 2:20 a.m. on July 18, 2024, and although it seemed like a nice, peaceful place to sleep, we woke up startled because someone has just thrown four hard-boiled eggs at the van from the promenade above. We did not hear any laughter or teenagers shouting, so we imagine it was a local resident. We are very quiet and respectful. I don’t understand it.Translating
Good place for one night; there is no prohibition sign. Very narrow access. We were able to park normally with our 6-meter vehicle. It is not necessarily suitable for all longer motorhomes, as they would have to occupy two or three spaces sideways, which is not particularly fair to the locals.Translating
October. Quiet parking area with very beautiful views of the river. Bins and a small garden. Ideal for exploring the old town.Translating
The entrance to the parking area is somewhat narrow, but there is not much difficulty accessing it (6-meter camper). A good, quiet place to spend the night. Down below there is a well-preserved area where you can swim at a river beach. There are several beach bars where you can have a drink.Translating
We spent the night there, completely alone. The entrance is really very narrow. We got through with a 7.5-meter vehicle by folding in both mirrors.Translating
Access prohibited for “trucks” and paid parking limited to five hours. The climb is steep and the small bridge does not seem suitable for large motorhomes. We did not want to take any risks. A shame, because the view is superb. Many parking areas in this town are prohibited to vehicles over 2.5 tonnes, which limits the options. No service area.Translating
