Winter stopover
Parque Cerdeira
We stayed here for one night en route from the Porto area to Spain at the end of February. The receptionist was very helpful and spoke excellent English. The pitches are hard standing and level. Only the main facilities block was open but this is a very new, excellently equipped, spotlessly clean facility. The disabled shower and toilet were also first class. The receptionist did offer to open the mini market for us and get us bread for the following day. The restaurant is only open at week ends in winter. The area is ideal for walkers and very scenic. On the map I had spotted a road that runs north east just a couple of hundred metres from the camp entrance towards the Spanish border which cuts about twenty kilometres off the recommended route. I asked the receptionist if it was usable. The reply was that with a small unit like ours (5ms long) and at this time of year, it should be OK. It was but it is only a badly potholed dirt track with a very steep ascent for the last 300 metres onto the main road. If in the area again we would probably stay here longer.
