This is officially the only free parking lot at San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. There are others, but…read moreactually only for staff, restaurant and Hotels guests (which doesn't stop many visitors from using them anyways).
This lot here - as said - is free. And that is quite surprising for this kind of famous site. There are only a handful of spots and there's a free public bathroom right there and also a small tourist information.
Of course the spots here are sought after. You need a bit of patience...and some luck, since other cars will try to squeeze by, even you've been there first. We got lucky and only waited about 10 minutes. Stayed for over three hours...free of charge. Car was safe here, there's no shade though. But it's cool up here in the north anyways. The spots aren't the biggest ones, with our minivan we mangaged fine, but an SUV will have problems.
Many cars park just along the main road, but try to get on this lot if possible, it's safer, since there's an awful lot of traffic on the road.
