Been here?
A free, sloping parking area at Castell de Sant Joan with wide views over Blanes, the mountains and the sea. The steep, narrow approach is restricted to vehicles under 3.5t, and spaces are recommended for vehicles 6.5m or smaller. A water tap exists inside the castle grounds but is inaccessible to ordinary visitors. Evening traffic and loud gatherings can disturb overnight stays.

A beautiful view, but the approach is steep uphill! Not suitable for large cars, campers, etc.Translating
Free parking close to a great viewpoint out. Blanes has restricted all the town roads to 3.5t max vehicles, so reaching this point is only possible for vehicles below this weight. Parking space recommended only for those 6.5m and smaller. Wouldn’t recommend it for sleeping due to the slope.
We spent a quiet night in mid-November. It was rainy, so there were no nighttime walkers.Translating
The parking area is fine, apart from being a little sloped. We had to leave because some people arrived by car to play music and talk (which seems to be common from what I have read). Apart from that, the place is acceptable.Translating
Parking only. There is a fountain, but it is inside the castle grounds and cannot be accessed because entry is forbidden except for authorized vehicles.Translating
Indeed, very steep; with a van it is fine. We only stayed during the day. Great panorama on the way to the castle. 2.5 km, a little steep from the beach and town, but it is free.Translating
Why is this spot marked for motorhomes? It is an ordinary parking lot on a slight bend, and also has a significant slope. There is constant traffic from cars and people. There are only eight parking spaces. You have to be lucky to find a free space. The approach is uphill all the way; weak and heavy motorhomes may have difficulty. The small parking area itself is only suitable for vehicles such as VW T3 or T4, etc. Not a Concorde.Translating
Beautiful viewpoint from the tower, water tap, but if you want to sleep peacefully you have to go somewhere else because young people arrive in the middle of the night at this small parking area and play music at full volume, leaving the engine running...Translating
free parking above Blanes with stunning views! Tge road up is tight and only suitable yo camper vans not mtorhomes. i had a few youths arrive between 7 and 9pm, but then quiet overnight. 3-4 near level spots and another 3-4 on slopes. great for a 1 night stopover as long as you are self-contained.
Nice place at first glance, but it is indeed a meeting place. We spent the night from Sunday to Monday and the cars kept coming. It does seem to be a meeting place for drinking and more if affinities arise. We accidentally scared away three couples in the middle of the action... So avoid it.Translating
Until 8:30 p.m. many young people were here watching the sunset, which was really beautiful. The night was then very quiet. We were alone here. The spaces are very sloped, except for two further up. Recommended only for vans up to 6 meters.Translating
Really beautiful parking spot, unfortunately a lot of traffic in the evening. Seems to be a popular meeting place for young drivers.Translating
We spent a very peaceful night in this parking area. There are no services, and people arrive to admire the views, but everything was fine.Translating
Great spot up here, magnificent view, nobody here but enough parking spaces for a maximum 6 m van.Translating
A 6 m panel van can get up easily. Great view. Quiet night. Nothing going on in the off-season. We stayed here in July and November. If no parking spaces are free, you can turn around in the castle entrance during Castello opening hours.Translating
