N120, 8670, entre ALJEZUR et ESPINHAO DE CAO
Been here?
This old, disused section of the N120 is a spacious, paved and almost flat parking area, suitable for a quiet overnight stop. It is shaded and partly sheltered from the main road, though light traffic noise can be heard. There are many spaces, but recent reports mention considerable rubbish and debris. No services are available, so vehicles must be self-sufficient.

Quite dirty and with rubble, but suitable for spending one night. It is spacious and there is plenty of room.Translating
A good compromise for one night. Not easy to find a free place in the area.Translating
We stayed here for one night. A recessed area off the road—you can hear the cars slightly beside you, but it is still very pleasant. Quiet night, no disturbance.Translating
Nothing special, but quiet, dark and OK place to spend a night. Two other campervans were also there and returned to Arrifana in the morning. Along the road there are lots of places. No cars turned onto that road during the night.
Quiet place where almost no cars pass. The view is beautiful, but it is a shame that it is full of rubbish. No services, so you really need to be self-sufficient.Translating
Despite being littered with rubbish, this is a reasonable overnight option. Traffic noise from the main road is fairly distant and becomes quieter at night. Overall, the place is acceptable.Translating
A convenient stop while travelling or for an overnight stay. We spent one night in December 2024, from Friday to Saturday. It was genuinely quiet and somewhat sheltered. There was some rubbish in the ditches, but it was not especially troublesome.Translating
For one night in this underserved area, it is okay. We spent the night peacefully and without disturbance.Translating
Beautiful spot for a quick overnight stay, a very hidden and quiet turnoff on the road. The only problem is a bit of rubbish on the ground, so I would avoid it if camping in a tent.Translating
Turnoff on the road that rejoins it shortly afterward, somewhat sheltered from the road. There is some rubbish here and there, but you can sleep there in an emergency! Nothing special.Translating
We spent one night here. It was very peaceful; only a few cars pass along the road at night, so they did not bother us. There are no services (water or waste disposal), but it works well for spending one night and leaving the next day. We had no problem with the GNR. The place is somewhat poorly maintained, with some construction waste...Translating
No spaces left, with piles of rubble right in the middle of the road.Translating
Absolutely not recommended: no level surface and lots of rubbish!Translating
Only okay for sleeping. We stayed one night. The night was quiet, but it is still very dirty and full of rubbish.Translating
Remote and outside the nature reserve! Actually perfect for anyone who loves vanlife/camping. Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of rubbish! Including waste that cannot have come from “us” (tires, cement residue, construction debris)... But if everyone picked up a bag and collected a few small items, this place would quickly become presentable again.Translating
There is an enormous amount of rubbish here. It is difficult to find somewhere to spend the night, so the spot serves a purpose, but we decided not to stay.Translating
I spent the night there and was not disturbed. In a region where parking is not easy, this place is very welcome.Translating
Good pitch for a stopover, because otherwise you are not allowed to spend the night anywhere. The night was quiet.Translating
It is too close to the main road, and sleeping here is forbidden as usual. You need to position yourself properly so you cannot be seen from the road; after that, staying overnight is simply a matter of luck.Translating
Excellent for a quick overnight stop. Very quiet and surrounded by nature.Translating
The lower part has less rubbish, but it is visible from the road. We did not stay.Translating
