Hi, it is a big car park behind the beach just outside the town. 37.10038, -8.35436

4 euro pn with toilet dump and fresh water. Apparently it used to be 1.50 per night, that's inflation for you!

Cheers

that's the one I know it was 1.50 last year

I'm there as well.
Last year and before it was occasionally cleared by the GNR ( police ). Apparently the nearby campsite had a financial backer in the GNR. Also people did not pay the extra 50cents for water.
In January last year this was included by making the charge €2.
Now at €4 it has not been emptied by the police for several months so I guess the site has become more formalised.
The near by campsite has quite a good caravan shop with lots of spares. They can also do repairs to fridges, cookers etc.
I got a bodywork repair done two years ago. Good workmanship and very much cheaper than U.K.
Sunny now.
Enjoy

I'm confused about a new Aire here, the co ordinates given seem to be the place we always stayed at just of the beach near a round about, so is there another Aire nearby ? Please.

What is nearby on main N125 is a car park with facilities
We stayed last year before discovering the beach aire in pic above
The N125 car park is now €7 from €3 extra to empty so best avoided in my opinion

No that's the one, just off a little roundabout with a reception "shed" on the right as you drive in and tap/disposal round the back.

This is the free camping spot referred to in the OP. 37.09649, -8.33648

Beautiful spot just behind the beach, apparently Guns n Roses do come and move people on every so often but they seem to be turning a blind eye at the moment. I expect at the point the gennies and washing lines come out they will tell everybody to shift.

Also something to bear in mind, the beach in question is a naturist beach frequented by gay men looking for some "bum fun". No issues with that but one fella was happily "amusing himself" in full view of passers by. Doesn't bother me but my pooch was disappointed as he thought he was getting chipolata for dinner!

OK thanks, I do know that place,walked over it a few times lovely board walks and lakes nearby, never seen the bum brigade there however,we usually stay on the beach aire shown in the original pictures, used to stay there when the foofball club had the area it was free then, but the Chinese whisper was tht vanners were dumping cassette contents in the reed beds so vanners were no longer welcome after that.
