EX-103, 06260, Monesterio
Been here?
This picnic area above a lake has direct water access, barbecue areas, shaded picnic benches, and attractive views. The terrain is steep, and recent high water has made it too sloping for parking. Litter is a recurring problem, with waste reported around the area and poorly stored bins. It can still be suitable for a meal stop when conditions allow.

A spot just as described. We stopped here to eat and could easily have spent the night. A few families and fishermen were at the lake. The rubbish bins were poorly stored, as is the case in many places in Spain.Translating
The water is currently so high that you cannot stay here; it is far too sloped. We tried a little closer to the road, but there was an enormous amount of rubbish, including condoms, so we left. Perhaps it is better when the water is low, but not now in November.Translating
Dirty. No. What a disgrace.Translating
Great place to stop for a meal, with tables and shade. Very beautiful views of the river. The entrance is not very visible from the road, so be careful.Translating
Nice place for a break; it is a shame about the rubbish on the ground. A bin is missing.Translating
Beautiful, quiet place in the countryside. The benches are still perfectly usable, even though they are somewhat old. I cannot quite understand the criticism about the rubbish—you can take it with you and dispose of it in the next town. Otherwise, it is quite clean here, just very overgrown at the moment. The only criticism is the stray dogs and cats that make some background noise in the distance at night.Translating
Beautiful place, but ?you? Are not able to dispose of your trash properly, so there is trash everywhere, while at the entrance there is a big sign that sais to not dipose of trash here. So disrespectful, you shame the whole vanlife community
It is a beautiful place but very poorly maintained. No containers, all the rubbish scattered on the ground, and most of the picnic tables broken. What a shame.Translating
A good place to stop along the way and rest. You can go down for a swim below the picnic area. I’m not giving it 5 stars because of the dirt and lack of bins. Let’s try to keep places clean.Translating
Very good place. Although we slept alone, it is more or less sheltered from the road. It is not spectacular, but it has shade, tables, etc. No bins.Translating
Great place for one night and a comfortable break!Translating
Not suitable for motorhomes!!! Save yourself the trip. The photos also have very little to do with reality!!!!Translating
29/06/23 GREAT!! Beautiful place and accessible.Translating
We spent a quiet night at this spot, which is easy to reach, peaceful, and has a wonderful view. We felt very safe. However, there were an incredible number of wasps in the morning, so depending on the season the place may be difficult during the day.Translating
We slept one night on the 9th, when there were festivals in Monesterio, and it was great. We were alone all night; the road is nearby but not bothersome. The area is very dirty, so we cleaned up the area where we parked. The viewpoint is in poor condition and seems to be used as a urinal. I give it 4 stars for the peace and the views.Translating
Pleasant spot, but the night was accompanied by the barking of dogs, perhaps herding dogs. We woke to the sound of sheep and their bells.Translating
Quiet and peaceful place with a dreamy view over the lake. It's clean and easy to find. Trees give you shade and you can take walks around the lake. Stayed here for one night and felt safe.Translating
Very beautiful place! View of the lake. No mosquitoes so far! A few cars passing by.Translating
Very pleasant and peaceful place. We stayed in the picnic area beneath a large tree that provided shade. You can go down to the reservoir, fish, walk, and canoe. Smoking is prohibited, which makes sense. There are no signs prohibiting overnight stays. Two large rubbish containers are right beside it.Translating
Nice overnight stop above the lake, with a few areas to choose from for parking. Barbecue area and tables. We even managed to eat dinner outside in February.Translating
Perfect spot near the lake! Access is not especially easy, but it’s fine. Just 10 minutes from the A66. We spent a quiet night without problems.Translating
