Calle la Rueda, 04458, Padules
Been here?
This free parking area is in the attractive village of Padules, near walks, views, a bakery, restaurants and tapas cellars. A water tap and a cover for black-waste disposal are available, although the water's drinkability is uncertain. Access requires a short, very steep slope where large vehicles may scrape their overhang. The parking is intended for stopping and visiting the village, not as a campsite.

We had no problems getting in with our 7.5m MH. There is tap for water but I can't say if it is drinkable and a cover to dispose of black waste. However, about 100m further down the road they seem to be building a proper aire. There is currently a service point for fresh water and dumping of grey waste.
Many thanks to the Padules town council! Wonderful village for hiking routes in the Sierra Nevada. The water and dumping facilities are outside the site.
Lovely village with beautiful views. There is also a marked walking route through the valley. Follow the stones in the road to see the sights. Good place to stay, but please keep it clean. Sometimes the museum is open too, where you can learn about the village's history. Parking without services; these are available at the fire station a few kilometres away.
There are no black or grey drains for motorhomes this is just a car park without services where overnight parking is tolerated. It is NOT a campsite.
There appears to be a grey-water drain in a concrete pit, directly next to the drinking-water tap and the adjacent building. Under the chequer-plate cover is the PVC drain for toilet and grey water. The drinking-water tap is shut off, but 50 metres further on, by the valley, there is another drinking-water point.
On the first evening, a burgundy-red car drove around the site at high speed, doing donuts in the middle. Stones hit the campers and created a huge cloud of dust. We stayed anyway and had a peaceful night. The next day we went for a beautiful walk. The second evening was quiet.
Quiet night in the car park near the village centre. Spar supermarket and bakery nearby; unfortunately, it was Monday and the bakery was closed. The owner of the house behind the car park told us we could not sleep at this campsite, but nothing indicates that and the night went well. There were three motorhomes in the car park.
Nice place to stay and visit the village. There is a very friendly baker with fresh bread baked in a wood-fired oven. There is a Spar and restaurants. Recommended, peaceful place.
Access with a 7.54-metre motorhome and trailer is possible if you drive slowly. When coming from the A348, go through the village via Calle Alpujarra and turn left onto Calle La Rueda.
Very quiet place and a village that is very welcoming to visitors. Perfect for resting for a couple of days.
Thank you very much to the local community. A perfectly level car park on the edge of a lovely quiet village. There is a well marked, tiles, tourist walk around the village taking a spectacular mirador. The locals we met were ever so friendly and welcoming. It was a shame the bars and restaurants were closed but it was the Christmas period. I would love come back in the summer.
Intended to stop here but everything closed on Mondays so didn't stay although it is quiet and pleasant enough. No problem with access in our 7.3m if the ramp is taken slowly.
