4 Calle Escritor Castilla Agua, 14004, Córdoba
Been here?
This free, flat parking area near the zoo allows campervans from 8 p.m. to 9 a.m., with the Mezquita about a 15-minute walk away. Parking is forbidden from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 and 20:00. It is lit and generally feels safe, but recent stays report considerable rubbish, no shade and occasional noise from trucks and waste operations. It is mainly useful for an overnight visit to Córdoba.

Parking within walking distance of the historic center and well located. The timetable is due to the zoo buses parking there, and the noise is from passing trucks. If you arrive late in Córdoba and need to sleep, it’s an option. It doesn’t feel unsafe, and there are rubbish bins across the street.Translating
Very dirty parking area, but a quiet night. Twenty minutes on foot from the center.Translating
We went there on a Monday to visit Córdoba. It is convenient, but very dirty! We didn’t even know where to park without ending up next to rubbish bins. No shade.Translating
We used the full permitted period here, from Sunday evening until Tuesday morning. Overall, it was quiet at night. From Monday to Tuesday there was some noise around 4 a.m.; I think the nearby waste-disposal service had started work. It was quiet again from 4:30. The fortress is closed for renovation until November. The cathedral is open.Translating
At the beginning of April we were four campers in this parking lot which is spacious and flat. Parking is only allowed from 8 PM to 9 AM. It was very quiet and we felt safe, we had no issues and nobody bothered us nor charged us anything; so it was completely free of charge. The parking lot is lit but unfortunately it was very dirty and a bit dusty as it is unpaved. There aren't any services.
A good last-minute option if the Medina Azahara camper park is full and you want a free place. However, there is quite a lot of rubbish, and we heard machinery moving around during the night, which could disturb light sleepers.Translating
Zoo parking, perfect from Sunday evening to Tuesday morning. Quiet but dirty... Even though there are bins at the entrance, the locals don’t respect their surroundings. It’s a real shame. Easy access to the city, including a small entrance by going left at the large roundabout. Thanks to the city for allowing us to stay.Translating
We arrived at 10 p.m. and left at 8:30 a.m. It’s perfect for resting in Córdoba; there are no unofficial attendants and nobody bothers you.Translating
We stayed here Sunday night and all day Monday. Feels safe and comfortable. 10 minute walk to the old bridge and mosque.
We spent a quiet Friday night here. There were no other vehicles in the car park. We arrived at 7 p.m., even though the sign said 8 p.m. to 9 a.m.Translating
It’s a flat, spacious parking area, more or less close to the city. A man asks you for money to look after the van, what has traditionally been called an unofficial parking attendant.Translating
Parked during the day on Monday. Quiet, safe, and 5 minutes by bike or 15 minutes on foot from the old town. Perfect! There was indeed a sign saying that motorhomes are prohibited from parking Tuesday through Sunday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m.Translating
Contrary to what many comments say, you can stay overnight here with a camper. It is only forbidden during the day because it is actually the zoo car park. Since the zoo is closed on Mondays, Monday is the only day campers may also stay during the day. I arrived Sunday evening and stayed until Tuesday morning, spending two nights. Highly recommended!Translating
Just a car park for spending the day. There are no services, but it is spacious and safe. We walked to the city’s main attractions and returned in the late afternoon without any problems.Translating
The parking area is lit all night and very noisy, especially because of the city-service vehicles.Translating
This morning the police knocked on our door, even though we were within the permitted hours. They woke everyone, there was no negotiation, photographed all the license plates, and warned us to leave on time or face a €200 fine. We chose the quieter options outside the city.Translating
I’m adding a photo of the signage: caravans are prohibited from parking Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The area is quiet and away from the busy zone.Translating
This morning they put up two prohibition signs, and the police photographed all the motorhomes.Translating
I like returning to this parking area near the Mezquita. It is free, but users could respect it better. The man is not a “beggar,” as I read in one comment—shameful. He is very kind and helps us find a spot. We have seen him for several years; he even recognizes us and asks nothing. We give him a coin because every effort deserves recognition.Translating
We parked and spent the night there with other motorhomes. Quiet, safe place close to the Mezquita and the old town. Highly recommended for visiting Córdoba for free.Translating
A spectacular parking area for visiting Córdoba. Parking is free, but there is a very kind man who asks for whatever you wish to give. 100% recommended.Translating
Perfect parking for visiting Córdoba. During the week there is the real guardian! He isn’t there at weekends; the people who are there ask for €5 and give you a ticket. But don’t be fooled: the parking is free and you give whatever you wish. I stayed two nights and it was perfect.Translating
Quiet place. During the day there are quite a few cars and a man who asks for whatever you wish and stays in the parking area all day watching over it. At night it is very quiet, close to Córdoba city center and right next to the zoo and the children’s city.
Excellent place in Córdoba, close to everything, easy access, flat, and I felt very safe. Many caravans were there. Senhor Rafael, who looks after everything, is very friendly. I recommend it!
Simple parking area, admittedly not very clean, but well watched over by the attendant, who is friendly if you are friendly with him, like anyone else! At 6 p.m. he was waiting for the last arrivals.
The municipal police advised us not to spend the night here. It is apparently a transit area with thefts.
Good parking for visiting Córdoba by motorhome, day and night. In the morning, a man arrives at 8:30 and looks after it; you just need to give him something—€4 per day and he watches it. At another place, they wake you by banging on the vehicle and asking for money. This parking is 100% safe.
I can only thank the P4Night app! Ideal parking for visiting Córdoba on foot, 15 minutes from the city center. We gave the attendant €5 for two nights and confidently set off to explore this beautiful city, our favorite! In the morning, we could hear the zoo’s wild animals and birds next door; it felt like being somewhere else! I recommend it.
Within walking distance of the center, so ideal. We gave the “attendant” €5, though it wasn’t clear whether he really watched the motorhomes. We also spent the night there and felt safe.
It is an isolated parking area at night, but we were among many people. After giving a coin to the “beggar,” as some motorhome travelers call him, I left to visit the city without worry. His presence in the parking area all day makes me feel secure. He has never been aggressive.
Very good place to leave the motorhome. During the day there are attendants from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; the night is very quiet for spending the night. I recommend it.
Good place to explore Córdoba. Very quiet. The unofficial parking attendants are friendly and fairly point out that the space is free. They are also happy with €2 for their services.
