Been here?
Level parking beside a sanctuary, with wide mountain and city views, picnic tables, public toilets and a snack bar that closes early. It suits large vehicles, including one over 7,50 meters, and a funicular to the city costs 5 euros return. Nights are often quiet, especially midweek, but Friday and weekend evenings can bring loud music, shouting and car activity. During the day, parking fills with cars, which generally leave after sunset.

Great view and very large spaces. Follow the bus parking signs. Numerous picnic tables. We are in a motorhome over 7.5 metres and had no problems. We arrived around 1 p.m. on Sunday and had no trouble parking. Funicular down to the town: €5 return per person. Highly recommended.Translating
A very beautiful place to spend the night, and take advantage of the opening the next day to visit the sanctuary.Translating
We found one space available, I think in summer it will be full along with the other parking further around on the one way road. Great views and church. Worth a visit up the bumpy cobbled street. We didn’t stay the night.
Spectacular sunset. Level site, and during the day there are very clean toilets.Translating
This is unfortunately our worst experience so far from the places we’ve stayed on park4night :( I can imagine it’s ok to spend the night on a mid week/ early weekday but unfortunately for us we stayed Friday evening and were woken at 2:30 am as a group of teenagers had pulled up in their cars and began playing a loud game of football. They hit the camper next to us causing the alarm to go off.
We spent a very peaceful night in our motorhome. We were the only ones there, but it felt safe because there is a hostel and a guesthouse very close by, on one side of the sanctuary. Very good views of the city, and we could visit the outside of the sanctuary at night without anyone around.Translating
Good for spending one night. With the rooftop tent open there was no problem. The toilets with electrical outlets are open all day. I am not giving five stars because during the night people came and went, talking very loudly and shouting, and kept waking us up.Translating
Arrived on a Friday at 9:30 p.m. No other motorhomes, but many young people, music and revving engines until 1 a.m. The place is probably quiet during the week but less so at the beginning of the weekend. The road is cobbled and unpleasant. Otherwise, the rest of the night was quiet and the view is magnificent.Translating
Three small children and two adults; the kids have room to play. Very quiet at night. Space for large vans (ours is 7.5 m). Unbeatable views. Public toilets reasonably well maintained, with a socket inside. Funicular to the city. Tables and benches a few metres from where you park.Translating
