General rules to street parking in the Costa Del Sol
A few years ago most parking in the Costa Del Sol was mostly free but that has now changed. There is still free parking available in most towns but you have to be careful. If you do get a parking ticket it can be paid at most ticket machines and you may get a 20% discount for prompt payment. If you are driving a hire car and get a ticket it will catch up with you which ever country you live in. Most towns have a free car park but finding them is not easy. Fairgrounds and bullrings tend to have the best free parking but thats not guaranteed. Below are 3 simple signs to watch out for when street parking but this is only a guide so be careful there are some rules that only local residents can know. The guide was correct at the time of publishing 2022 and is periodically checked so make sure it is still free if you park there, this website will not be held responsible for any parking violation's.
