Just wanted general advice if there are no go areas. I remember a few years back cars being towed away for fun down by the side of the Med Palace.

Are there any signs I should be looking out for and will there be time limits. We also have a disabled badge which can be used

Yeah look out for the Taxi rank signs don't park there, loading and unloading bays don't park on them, double and single yellow lines don't park there either, in the middle of the road and in the middle of a roundabout don't park there.


Don't park anywhere where it tells you not to or places that you should know about anyhow.

Plenty of car parks around and not too expensive , not worth taking the chance if you are unsure -€120 or thereabouts if you are towed by Grua .
Torviscas Beach at Moonlight has a car park about €5 a day.

The badge can be used only in the bays specifically designated for that use. Personally, unless you are sure you,ve found a space which allows parking, for the duration of time you seek, do not park anywhere but use the Car Parks. There seems a real reluctance to use such car parks (and we fall foulf of this ourselves!), not expensive but some are so badly laid out a scooter has problems parking in a designated car bay! Best of luck.

The best underground car park is the one on the corner of the Valdez/Eden centre opposite Ofipapel, spaces always spaces and very roomy.

The worst must be the car park at VistaSur, it must have been designed with toy cars in mind. Very low roof and if you manage to squeeze your car in, youŽll have trouble opening the door. Unless you are lucky to get one along the edge.

Must admit, the reply baffles me too.

Providing you park using your British common sense and don't park somewhere because someone else has then it's easy.

The only time I've found a problem is if there is a major event on in the area you want to park in.

As has been previously mentioned there are plenty of underground car parks around which to me, seem expensive as a resident, but compared to the UK are peanuts.

The 'Sharks' are people selling cars by the roadside
