There is a good aire at Lierganes. It is at the station but the trains are quiet (electric narrow gauge) and don't run at night. CamperContact. #6015. The Medieval bridge with the Fish-Man statue beneath it is worth a look.

 

[Pugsy]

I am coming off that ferry and i normally stop at Lierganes. Its a nice little stop with good coffee and cake shops.but this year heading via Burgos ,soria and sorgrebe enroute to Los Alcazares,so will stop at aire in Aquilar de campo about an hour from Santander. Have a good n safe trip.
Cheers Cris.

The elephant Aire is nice - Cabarceno I think. A bit surreal we thought, but good for the ferry.

Another one for Cabarceno.

The free aire is only 100 mtrs from the village by a lake. As you enter the village turn right just before the church. There is a large car park.

Best stopover is at Cabarceno, the elephant park,as lots advise above. Plenty of space,water and dump.and it's free.
Cafe and restaurant in the village a few mins walk.
Have a good trip.

Another vote for Cabarceno we always use it, safe, quiet, fw and toilet dump, shop selling essential including fresh bread a few minutes walk, and some great bar restaurants

This from a Spanish site, not looking good for leisure travel

The heffalump park is lovely but has no loos (as far as I remember) - We've used area de Autocaravanas Suesa - Suesa, Cantabria, Cantabria, Spain, 39160 - twice. Around 20 minutes from ferry, secure, has loos and some great beach walks nearby.

Why do you need a loo when you have one on board? There is an elsan dump point and fresh water on the "elephant park".

 

[bladerunner]

In nine years and over 100 days per year my loo remains wee only. and shall continue to be so as long as its my job to clean it.

That is true, but unless its changed recently it's a bugger to use either. Much more civilised at the Calle Marino Fernández-Fontecha .

Hi Graham, will do, everything is unreal, surreal or what so fecking ever at the moment and the latest is storms in the Bay of Biscay, ferry may be cancelled or sail with a great puking potential that'll be a great choice hahahaha

Hi Pugsy,
Lierganes is a good stop. Do you enjoy running? Great run up the mountainside with brilliant views.
If not, great town for a stopover. Locals are really friendly. Enjoy
