Motorhome Parking

LucasJ · Nov 20, 2018

Hi
So my wife and I are in Galicia traveling in our Motorhome from the UK.
And we want to start walking the Camiño Inglés in the next few days in honour of a friend I lost just the other week.

Does anyone know where we could securely park our motorhome in Ferrol or SdC whilst we walk?

Paying to do this is not an issue, we just want to keep our possessions safe.

Thanks in advance.

Here in Santiago are a few parking garages available that are under surveillance, for example: https://www.parkia.es/en/aparcamien...e-plaza-del-obradoiro-santiago-de-compostela/

Anything else I can do to help, just tell me!

Buen Camino, SY

Hi, Lucas,

I'm very sorry for your loss and kind of understand the Camino you want to walk maybe even partly in a memory of your friend.

Two years ago I wanted to purchase something I can't really mention here in Ferrol and it was done deal in 15 minutes. I would wing it in your case.

The other and more secure option would be to contact "our" people in Santiago (@ivar , @SYates , Faith at pilgrim House on Rua Nova etc.) and maybe they can help you with parking lot for few days.

Ultreia!

PS (Well, talking of and SY was the first to respond )

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I checked out the link but unfortunately that garage has a height limit of 1.8mtrs and I failed to mention that our motorhome is 3.1mtrs heigh.
But thank you for the suggestion anyway.
If you know of any others that would be appreciated.

Regards

Not sure if you will find something here...https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/where-to-leave-the-car.4220/
Another thought I had was to find a village, and maybe an albergue... or a convent...somewhere small, with possibility for a personal contact/deal arrangement...

Then what about "parking" it on our local camping ground here in Santiago? See https://www.campingascancelas.com/en/pages/rates.html

Look at this website www.campercontact.com

From a brief look, there appear to be more options in La Coruna than elsewhere, but La Coruna is easily connectable by train from both Ferral and Santiago

Good Idea Kirkie
I was thinking the same last night.
Found a motel not to far out of SdC.
But may use the camping ground as suggested above.

Thanks

Perhaps one of the tourist offices could help? Here's link, with an option to email them: http://www.turismo.gal/que-visitar/cidades/a-coruna?langId=en_US

Thank you everyone for the replies.
I now have a solution as we will now be walking with a fellow traveler who also has a smaller vehicle
that we can park in a more central location whilst I leave my camper at another site.

We will also take the A Coruna route and walk another early on in the new year.

Thanks again you have been a great help.

We lost a set of black Leki trekking poles today between Ferrol and Neda just past the Monastario de San Martino. We sat down for a rest near the top of the hill amidst the houses. The poles were...
