The new area is on the Levante side of town, in the avenida Bernat de Sarrià, close to the calle Ciudad Real. The plot has been cleared, weeded, compacted and has had gravel laid, with street lighting installed too.

The declared long term plan of the town hall is to try and keep as many cars as possible out of the main centre of town. More ...
This is a great place to park but a word of warning for Motorhomes. Don't park overnight or you will get moved on by the Police or if you are notThis is a great place to park but a word of warning for Motorhomes. Don't park overnight or you will get moved on by the Police or if you are not there they put a letter on your windscreen telling you to move or they will tow you away. Unfortunately all the campsites are fully booked at the moment so you can legally park on the road in a safe way and sleep and cook in your Motorhome. More ...
Martin Hills This is news to me. How would you prove the campsites are full. I doubt there is ever a time when all the campsites are 100% full. IMartin Hills This is news to me.

You said "Unfortunately all the campsites are fully booked at the moment so you can legally park on the road in a safe way and sleep and cook in your Motorhome". I read that as being allowed to park at the side of the road because the campsites were full but not under normal circumstances. Is that what you are saying?. More ...
Derek Sorry I should have separated the comments about parking on the road. We managed to park on Av de Monte Carlo in the end with no bother fromDerek Sorry I should have separated the comments about parking on the road. We managed to park on Av de Monte Carlo in the end with no bother from the police. It looks like Benidorm could do with more campsites. If they are are full now, what's it going to be like in the summer.
We are back on our travels back home now.
See you all another time. More ...
Martin Hills I suspect this incident is more to do with the police officer couldn't be bothered with the hassle of paperwork and knew you were notMartin Hills I suspect this incident is more to do with the police officer couldn't be bothered with the hassle of paperwork and knew you were not going to be parked for long. It would be very rare for every campsite to be full, almost impossible to prove if trying to justify it as an excuse for parking on the road, and even if you could I don't think it means parking on the road becomes permissible. While it is pleasant to find a police officer who will turn a blind eye to something minor, it is not a good idea to assume it is legal. The next police offer may not be so friendly.
It's a completely different topic but I had an incident recently while walking my dog. When the dog fouled in the undergrowth beside the road, I produced a plastic bag to lift it. A police car pulled up and told me not to bother. He said it was not somewhere people would walk, so to just leave it. He said using plastic was a bigger problem. Now I'm confused. Is that a change in the law?, Is it just his opinion that it is worse to use plastic?, or was he being friendly and could see the task of gathering the droppings would not be easy? When the law is not enforced it can often lead to confusion. More ...
