A7, 04130, El Alquián
Been here?
A Repsol service station providing gray- and black-water disposal, fresh-water access and a shower. Gray- and black-water disposal is free, while fresh water costs 2€ unless more than 20€ of fuel is purchased, although recent reports question its availability. The disposal point is functional but can be dirty, and the single shower is increasingly moldy and sometimes only lukewarm. The station closes at 22, with window service until 6.

For €2, we emptied and refilled everything. Just be careful with the gray water-filling station marked “water”: that is the small water hose, not the pump with the petrol nozzle, because that one dispenses diesel.
We stopped to eat something, but the facilities are no longer open 24 hours. The petrol station closes at 10 p.m., although they serve through the window until 6, and the restaurant closes at 11 p.m. They are also closed on Saturdays and Sundays. We went to Retamar, where we ate at a pizzeria that was closed but still served us food.
Quite spacious and fairly peaceful, not very expensive.
The fresh-water filling area is separate from the chemical toilet and gray-water emptying area, which is a major advantage. To fill with water, the point is next to the pumps; to empty gray water and the toilet, go to the parking area on the right. This detail alone deserves five stars. I also recommend the €13 menu at the El Pita restaurant—generous and very tasty.
Recommend. Free gray/black water disposal. The water free as well ant it was next to the tire pump and the last diesel pump separate from the gray/black water drain. Specialized spot for autocaravanas on self-washing here as well.
Great place, but unfortunately no drinking water after asking.
Motorhome service for €2, very good. Good water pressure. Thank you!
Very good place, with a spacious shower and generous changing, washbasin and toilet area. Very friendly staff. Warning: the cafeteria is closed on Saturdays.
Honestly, I appreciated the welcome at the Repsol station. The disposal station is not especially clean but functional; you can even rinse the toilet cassette properly. I recommend it if you need to service your vehicle.
Went to empty black and gray water. It is free but quite dirty. It seems people have emptied their toilets into the gray-water disposal. I would not fill fresh water here.
The shower gets moldier every year. Only one remains. Depending on the time of day, the water is only lukewarm. The caravan-wash machine has no instructions. Good espresso.
Free disposal of gray and black water. The water probably does not work, but you can fill up in every village.
Shower €3, large and hot, a little broken but perfect service; everything is available. Water supply recommended.
We emptied the black water and rinsed the cassette once. The service was excellent.
We stopped by today and were able to clean the entire vehicle for less than €5. We emptied the gray water and filled up with water. Fresh water is not dispensed at the Euro Relais station; ask the staff if needed!
30/11/2025: gray- and black-water disposal only, but no drinking water. :(
we didn't need any service while sleeping over here so we don't know about the service point, but at the Repsol station and in the restaurant they were all helpfull and very kind. They even cooked up some really good dinner for us in the Cafe/Resturant late in the evening when we arrived. Love it...
Very friendly welcome and very nice staff, but overwhelmed by the number of diners. Very generous portions; highly recommended.
The drains seem to be unblocked, but the terminal is not working. Therefore, there is no drinking water. The only water available is at the truck pumps, but it is not drinkable.
At the time of writing, everything is blocked; only water is available. They seem surprised at the station, even though it is clearly visible that this has been the case for several days.
I’m asking myself how it is possible to clog the black water one. It was the only possibility to empty around Almeria-city - who knows how long it’s going to be clogged and what will be the consequences after so long being for free. Fellow campers, please take care and don’t be egoistic driving transit and not caring for everyone else afterwards. I’ve seen things…
The black-water drain is clogged. Gray-water disposal is still possible.
I paid to fill the fresh-water tank, only to find that the drinking-water connection is broken. They tell you to fill it from the hose next to the tire inflator.
We emptied the gray water for free.
As good as it gets in terms of a refresh stop. We filled €20 fuel and got free water fill (drinking too), empty gray and black waste. €3 each for a shower which weren’t the cleanest but nice big spacious rooms and unlimited time. Very helpful staff even though they didn’t speak English.
Everything available: gray water, toilet disposal, water and super-friendly staff. Thank you very much!
Non-potable water (that is what the station employee says), but it is very clear and can easily be purified with the appropriate product. Next to it is a good cafeteria with a daily menu and portions fit for hungry lumberjacks. The town of Níjar and its ceramics are not far away.
Meh, €2 for non-potable water... I think that says it all.
Everything is only for emptying. We did not fill up with water. Bins at the station exit.
NOT drinking water!!!
Everything working well, fast water filling, paid €2. Thanks Repsol for this.
