Parking in Southern Spain for Morocco Advice
Are there any options that are not expensive (preferably free) for leaving a car and a small trailer somewhere in southern spain before hopping off to Morocco? I guess it could be parked anywhere and the trailer locked to the car but I'd worry about it plus maybe it ends up in teh way of some-one and you didn't know..

parking southern spain
Hi
I have stayed on a campsite about 5 kms from gibraltor several times and they let people leave there cars and campers there. You have to pay but its quite cheap from what I remember it was 60 euros for two weeks.
Its called le roque camping or something like that I got the address but you will have to wait untill tomorrow as I'm at work at the moment.

parking southern spain
Hi
Quick google came up with it.
I was there in december last year, its a good place to chill after that long drive. The guy who runs it is spanish speaks perfect english.
Camping LA CASITA ¤¤ San Roque (Cádiz, Spain) - Camping
It might not be free but its definiatly a safe/good place to leave your car.
Good Luck

I tried emailing the campsite jo mentioned - no reply i guess they are closed for winter. I've emailed a few more and have a price of 100 euros for 2 weeks, seems a bit steep to me but it's the only option so far.
Any other ideas for parking - I did check out Malaga Airport which is similar in price to the campsite but I could not specify the trailer as well.

I'm looking for a safe place to park my car and small motorbike trailer for 2 weeks near malaga or Algeciras early April, or anywhere in that area. I've digged out threads from the past and contacted Moto Adventours that no longer offers parking service; also looked at various camp sites without getting a good sense of possibilities.
Would anyone have recent experience and contact info to recommend please? Much thanks in advance!

Got 2 answers:
Silver Wolf does not offer parking service but seem like a serious freight company I'd not hesitate to hire to ship my bike between Spain and the UK.
airport parking malaga answered positively, though kind of strange, a guy using a gmail.com address but looks serious and professional. Car is 5€/day and 2€/day in addition for the (small) motorbike trailer. Pretty good!
Thank you Tim and Maurice for the information, hope this is useful to others.
I'm also looking for a place to leave my bike in Spain, I'll probably end-up buying a place in prep for later days in any case, but in the meantime would really appreciate any info on where best to park my bike for regular "fly and ride" trips in this amazing part of the world.
