We spent one night here, very peacefully, and highly recommend it.
We spent one night here. Everything was fine; beautiful and quiet place.
A spacious, quiet place in a village with many small shops. We recommend following the tourist route marked on the panels, which goes through the whole village. Hornazo and beans are the local specialities and must-buy items.
Spectacular place, beautiful views of the city and castle, quiet night surrounded by motorhomes. Take care of the surroundings, thank you. No services.
Good place to spend the night and visit the village. Large parking area; there were quite a few caravans there. Very peaceful night.
Nice parking area, little traffic. A decent toilet at the bus stop at the bottom of the parking area is available during opening hours.
Wonderful place for an overnight stay. We parked directly next to the castle wall and spent the night in complete silence. Apart from rubbish containers, there are no facilities. We walked through the village. At this time of year, there is not much to see. There is a small supermarket across the roundabout.
Good, quiet, fairly level place. No water, electricity, or drainage services, but well located.
Good place for spending the night.
Good place to spend the night. Very quiet night. Beautiful village with all kinds of services. The churrería is at the beginning of the parking area. A circular route with an audio guide, provided through the town hall's website, starts from the car park. The castle can be visited.
Castle car park. Large dirt area, fairly level at the top. Overnight stays are possible and it is very peaceful. There is no shade.
Beautiful place with a view of the still snow-covered peaks. Large paved, open area by the castle and village. No facilities, but peaceful.
Unpaved parking area, reasonably level, very close to the castle. Sufficient for visiting the village and even spending the night.
Well-levelled parking area in a beautiful village. We spent one night there with several other motorhomes. Quiet, silent, and highly recommended! The village is small, but be sure to take a walk, discover its charms, and enjoy its shops.
Parking area without services. A very good location at the entrance to the village, highly recommended for visiting and experiencing it outside public holidays. The car park has a lot of car movement, but at night it is very quiet. We spent only one night.
Day-and-night parking very close to the tourist office and village, located at a transport junction. Beautiful views. I hope that in time a service area will be built. I will return.
Good place to spend the night and visit the village, with good views and very peaceful. On very hot days there is no shade.
Very, very large parking area. Mountain views. The far end is flatter and quieter. At this time of year there is practically nobody. There are a couple of small irrigation-channel-like potholes at the entrance, so be careful. It is next to the castle and five minutes from Plaza de España.
Very quiet in winter, behind the castle. Five minutes from the centre.
Place without services, but quiet, spacious, and level. On Mondays it fills up with visitors to the village market; the rest of the week it is almost empty.
We spent a very peaceful night. The place is level and beautiful, both at night with the illuminated town wall and during the day with its green areas. It is right next to the wall, behind the bus stops. In the village itself, without services.
Very quiet with good views, one minute from the village, where there are plenty of services and shops. Next to the wall. Many birds of prey can be seen from the open area. Beautiful.
