Motorway rest area, truck noise
Autovía Plata, 06220, Villafranca de los Barros
Been here?
A motorway rest area with a restaurant, shop, petrol station and showers, suitable for eating and continuing the journey. The restaurant is open 24 hours, and there are now two showers inside it for 3€, with a sink, toilet, electrical outlet and hanger. Many trucks make parking difficult and create substantial refrigeration noise, so overnight stays are best avoided unless necessary. The Wi‑Fi key is "lagranfamilia01".

The shower: there are now two, inside the restaurant, for €3. There is a sink, a toilet and a shower tray, a power socket and a hanger. It smells bad, but seems clean.
A very good place to stop for lunch and rest before continuing the journey.
Many trucks. Difficult to find a space and very, very loud refrigeration units. Stop here overnight only if there is no other option.
Lovely park up. Has everything you want. The restaurant is open 24 hours and does lovely food.
I think this is the worst shower I have had in two months in Spain. Very run-down, in a prefabricated unit… Otherwise, hot water with good pressure. €2, so cheaper than the other service areas.
Do not go there to spend the night!! The truck noise is really very loud, even for a heavy sleeper; we did not sleep all night. The small restaurant is nevertheless very good, with very friendly staff (€8.50 meal), and the showers are quite decent for €2. However, they run on a hot-water tank and can quickly become cold.
