Roadside viewpoint, uncertain overnight
D48, 66300, Castelnou
Been here?
A tiny roadside viewpoint overlooks Castelnou and Canigou, with an orientation table and shady picnic space without tables or chairs. Internet coverage is available, but cars occasionally arrive at night and morning traffic can be busy. The road usually has little traffic, though parking may obstruct vehicles using the viewpoint. Overnight suitability is uncertain.

Tiny parking area. We did not stay because we were obstructing cars coming to the viewpoint. We parked in the village without any problem.
There is internet coverage. It is right beside the road, but few cars pass along it. Nevertheless, several cars disturbed us; they came separately to the viewpoint from time to time to talk in the early hours of the morning, for reasons unknown. Good views; it is a viewpoint. There are rubbish containers.
We arrived at night and slept there. Very peaceful, with no road noise. The only bad thing is that as soon as the sun comes up there is a lot of activity from people, cyclists and even the rubbish truck.
Very good for lunch.
You sleep peacefully and well here. You can barely notice the nearby road. However, before sunset, the flies eat you alive. Then you have to choose between missing a beautiful sunset or becoming food for dipterans, between practical reason and aesthetic reason, between Kant and Maillard. If you are at this Park4Night spot, you are on holiday and not here for such dilemmas. That is why I give it only one star.
Beautiful place with a lovely view of Castelnou. We stopped only for a picnic. It remains to be seen whether it is possible to sleep here.
