Highway rest area, overnight noise
Autovía del Cantábrico, 33794, Castropol
Been here?
A highway rest area with wide, well-signposted access and views towards the sea. Recent reports conflict about the facilities, but the latest describes only an asphalt area, while older reports mention picnic tables, trees, BBQs, and shade. The highway is very close, making it noisy for overnight stays. It is better suited to a daytime break, with a beach about 5 minutes away and the lighthouse 15 minutes by bicycle.

Calling this a rest area... Not a bench, not a table, just a dead-end piece of asphalt. As I travel alone, I was afraid to sleep there. The entire asphalt area was covered in skid marks. Bad signal.Translating
An area for resting during the day; I don't know what it is like at night.Translating
A very quiet place despite the motorway being next to it. Spectacular views from the parking area. If you have a bicycle, the lighthouse is 15 minutes away. Large beach 5 minutes away.Translating
Good place to stop for lunch, with lots of shade and plenty of space. There are not many tables, though.Translating
Easy access with any vehicle, even a heavy goods vehicle. The sea view is exceptional; clean picnic area with barbecue and tables/chairs. Not ideal for spending the night because of motorway noise, but great for a lovely break.Translating
