Carretera Arroyo San Ambrosio, 11150, Barbate
Been here?
Stopping is currently prevented by two large tree trunks. The spot is reached by an unpaved, badly potholed road, with a dusty section that can carry substantial traffic. When accessible, it has fairly flat ground beside an overgrown ruin, but it offers no facilities.

Good place, although directly beside the dusty road, which is fairly busy. We drove the 10 metres uphill to the 4x4 area, which is much nicer and, in dry conditions, manageable without all-wheel drive. We got up easily in a 6-metre Sprinter without 4x4.Translating
Better to approach from the north (Vejer de la Frontera), 400 m from the paved road. The site has been badly affected by the large amount of rain. Spending the night is possible, but WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS. The San Ambrosio ruins are heavily overgrown. Leave the place IMMEDIATELY during heavy rain—it turns into a swamp.Translating
Small parking area beside a rather lightly used gravel road, with a very beautiful ruin next to it.Translating
I don’t know how this place received such good reviews. I strongly advise against spending the night here. It’s an open area visible from the main road, which, as mentioned, is full of potholes for 3 km, damaging suspension systems. Cars constantly drive past at high speed, raising clouds of dust. It isn’t a safe place to sleep, completely dark and exposed to everyone’s view.Translating
The road is not dramatic at all. However, the road is much busier than expected. In the morning, a herd of cows and a farmer visited us. He was very pleased to see us and said we could sleep there without any problems.Translating
