Does anyone know if I can park a car in safe location in ponferrada for 7 days of my Camino free of charge?
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
A Google search shows that there is free parking 24/7
next to the pilgrim Albergue San Nicolás de Flűe.

Thanks just wondering if you could leave a car there safely
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
A car left in a parking lot for seven days will certainly attract attention - not necessarily from evil-doers -there are security people there both police and from the nearby train station. Abandoned? Lost? A medical emergency with the driver? Stolen? A terrorist vehicle? I would park as close as I could to the albergue and let the hospitilaire know that it is yours and that you will be coming back.
