Parking Ontaneda

We are staying here for the second time. Great campsite with all the amenities, and all for €7. The beautiful Via Verda cycle route starts from the campsite and runs for a length of 36 km. On weekends it gets busy with Spaniards, but it is pleasant.

stayed for one night on the way back to Santander and took the route through mountains from the south. not for the faint hearted and beware of your brakes and clutch on this route if you haven’t take a break and let your van cool before carrying on! was easy to work out how to get in. mid October there were only about 8 spaces in use so no problem with availability. excellent value for €7 and felt safe.

As in previous reviews, a very good spacious aire and all services including electricity for €7. Unfortunately the entry system was faulty when we arrived, the machine took 7€ but gave no card and the aire was completely empty. After parking outside for lunch a lady arrived and seemed to be in charge. She gave us a card to let us in. She spent rest of day with an engineer who eventually fixed the box. Automated entry systems can cause trouble.
