Been here?
A spacious, flat tarmac car park beside the monastery and surrounding nature, suitable for a quiet overnight stop and walking or cycling routes. The latest report describes a calm night, with the church opening around 8h and local visitors arriving in the morning. The original water fountain is no longer working. Older reports also mention no lighting and no mobile coverage.

We arrived late, were alone and had a good, quiet night under the protection of Saint Peter. The church opens around 8 a.m.; it is very beautiful and frequented by local residents.
Incredible place to spend the night. Spacious parking at the monastery. We spent two nights over the May Day holiday weekend. The first day there were two vans, and the second we were completely alone. A few cars at night but nothing problematic. It is probably livelier in the village. The Guardia Civil even passed by. No problems. There is a fountain with a good flow of water and complete silence at night.
Quiet place, but there was a lot of car movement during the night even though it is at the end of the road. Some people were fooling around with their cars and playing music. It was Saturday night.
Very quiet place in the middle of nature, perfect for resting and going on walks or bike rides.
The site is good for spending a quiet night and has pleasant surroundings. The San Pedro sanctuary is worth visiting. THE FOUNTAIN NO LONGER WORKS.
Ideal for spending the night. During a heatwave, we slept very cool and peacefully, accompanied by another campervan and a motorhome.
