About Área Autocaravanas Municipal
Parking your motorhome on the Costa Brava doesn't have to mean having to pay more or less money. And there are municipal spaces that are totally free, a clear example being the one known as the Municipal Motorhome Area.
This free motorhome parking on the Costa Brava is located in a city that is very easy to access by the AP-7: Caldes de Malavella. The cost is zero in any case, but keep in mind that there is a limit for the overnight stay of 72 hours. That is, at most you can park with your motorhome for a total of three days.
Being free and being so well located, it's no surprise that this parking is in such demand. Unfortunately, it has very few parking spaces, so it is recommended to arrive early to find a place to park or spend the night, although it can be done at any time as it is open 24 hours a day.
The Municipal Motorhome Area offers motorhome lovers drinking water, as well as an essential service: that of draining black or gray water, which you can use in the area enabled for this purpose.
As if that weren't enough, those who park in this area so highly valued by the community have electricity. Of course, it depends directly on public lighting, which is not surprising considering that it is a car park belonging to the municipality of Caldes de Malavella itself.
To all this we must add a space that is ideal for enjoying a good picnic. You will find it next to the rest of the facilities located very close to the park that receives the name of Sardana.
Now that we've talked about picnics, it's time to start with the restrictions and rules that do or do have to be followed. One of them refers to cooking, which is prohibited if it is done outside the vehicle that is parked in the Municipal Motorhome Area.
Any action that is synonymous with camping cannot be carried out in this parking lot. In short, if something you intend to do means deploying something that exceeds the figure that covers the perimeter of the motorhome, you will not be able to do it. For example, it is common for some users to intend to install an awning, but it is not allowed. In turn, it is not possible to place chairs, a table or other items outside the vehicle.
Of course, inside the motorhome it is allowed to make use of all the objects and devices that are available to live in it. With regard to the exterior, there is no restriction when placing wedges in order to level the vehicle and not in case you need to use the bars designed to stabilize it.
Inorder to strictly apply the current regulations, it is advisable to consult the poster in the Municipal Motorhome Area of Caldes de Malavella, which not only specifies the rules, but also details several tourist aspects about a city that is quite successful in this regard, especially because of the hot springs Roman and spa resorts.

Área Autocaravanas Municipal: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
Thanks to the community for 5 free RV parking spots. Free water, electricity for 4 RVs free, garbage bins available. Great place to stay overnight. We felt safe. The street noise didn't bother us. Bakery, grocery store very close. The seating and benches with tables were not usable at the time we were there, because they were very dirty. We ate inside. Still deserves all the stars, just for the free service. Not every community offers that.

Positive experience:
Very nice camping spot. It's quite full in winter as well, so there are always neighbors. There is free water. It's a bit noisy by the road, but it was possible to sleep. There is a store within walking distance. We felt very safe and would love to come back.

Fantastic experience:
Fantastic area, but small, only 5 dirt pitches, with all services free.... Electricity with four sockets, water with a button and 3/4 thread (a lever tap would be appreciated, so you don't have to keep pressing it) grey and black waste drainage, with a picnic area with two tables and shade, next to the village with many services and shops, for stocking up and in the surroundings there are many routes and outings. Hot springs. I will definitely repeat.

Positive experience:
Motorhome area with free electricity and water, with very good shade. There are only 5 or 6 spaces and 4 electrical outlets. It is very well located, very close to the town center, places of interest, and supermarkets. The cleanliness is not very good, the bins overflow with garbage and with the summer heat the smell is very bad. The water for cleaning the potty comes out extremely strong and is quite disgusting.

Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Small area to spend the night, free of charge and next to the road. There are only 4 seats and two picnic tables. Next door there is a parking area nearby, in case everything is full. The toilet drain area is just below the water tap, so it doesn't give much confidence.
If you don't come early, there's no room.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Free water and electricity, shade.
It depends where you park for the light socket you need 500 meters of cable, hahaha hahaha

Very good place, with emptying and filling service. It doesn't have 5 stars because of the lack of control over the parking, it would be advisable to avoid prolonged parking, as they are usually foreigners and those of us from the area can hardly ever stay overnight. Beautiful old town.
