1B Paraje Pagomakurre, 48143, Areatza
Been here?
A quiet mountain parking area at a trailhead for Mount Gorbea, surrounded by greenery and horse bells. It has bathrooms, a picnic area, a fountain, and many parking spaces, though most are sloping. Access is via a narrow, steep mountain road; an 8m motorhome has reached it. Camping is not allowed, and raised roofs must be retracted before 9h.

Extraordinary place to spend the night, surrounded by greenery and peace, at the foot of hiking trails. It is just a shame that there are no designated motorhome spaces. Access is fine for an 8-meter motorhome, although the road is steep! :)Translating
A wonderful place where we spent a pleasant night, lulled by the sound of the bells around the necks of the horses living there. Few vans or motorhomes were present at the beginning of July. The start of the hike to the summit of Gorbeia is a real plus. One of the two dry toilets was out of order when we visited, and the other was not very clean, but having water and toilets here is already a luxury.Translating

Magnificent place; it is important to keep this natural park clean. A park team came to see us at 7 a.m. to inform us that camping was not permitted, so no pop-up roofs. They only asked us to lower the roofs before 9 a.m.Translating
Very peaceful night after the horses with bells around their necks had passed through. Great spot.Translating
Lots of space because it is a parking area for hikers and families seeking cool air; we were alone for the night. Chemical toilet and a spring with high-quality water, ideal for setting off on a hike. The spaces are sloped except on the left when arriving, where there is an old concrete slab from a former building, apparently. I think it must be full in summer.Translating
7.2-meter motorhome / We spent two wonderful nights here. It is beautiful. Avoid weekends and high season with large motorhomes because the road to get here is quite challenging. Fortunately, we did not meet anyone coming the other way.Translating
Perfect parking area for starting many excursions into Gorbea Natural Park. Access is via a fairly steep concrete track, and you need to commit to the climb, especially if it has rained or is damp. Once up there, the place is beautiful and empties out at night. Let us take care of these places and collect your rubbish.Translating
Nice, quiet place to sleep.Translating
Good place to spend the night. Very quiet. There are toilets and a fountain. Good starting point for walking toward the summit of Gorbeia, Aldamin, and elsewhere; well signposted with a good path. (No mobile coverage.)Translating
