Mike B. Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Heading for the sun on Tuesday and going Portsmouth/Bilbao for 1st time. Brittany Ferries have designated overnight parking according to their website and we intend to stay overnight after arriving at 6pm and setting off in daylight. However, on Google Earth, I can't see any parking area so wondered if anyone has used it on arrival? If so, is it signposted coming off the boat? Apparently it is near the Terminal building but can't see that either! As it will be dark, don't want to wander off in wrong direction so if anyone has any directions it would be appreciated Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock312 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi, we often use Bilbao port,last time was last11dec, i am not sure that parking is for arrivals,but as you drive off boat you drive along slip road in front of awaiting departures,then you see Brittany Ticket office in front of you,we parked here overnight,backed up to the harbour wall,this must be where they mean,be carefull though,you could drive out in the flow &miss it. very secure with police patrolling all night. have a good holiday, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob b Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi Mike, The route to the terminal parking at Bilbao port is very well sign posted. You can just stay in the terminal parking lane for the night. I've done it a few times ....along with a few others. The terminal lanes are alongside a ship yard, so if you're unlucky the night shift may well be banging and hammering all night!!. That said, it only happened to me once. Enjoy your trip.

peacock312 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 not disputing mike b advice,but when i was last there,it was TOTALLY different to a couple years earlier,the place is hardly recognisable,the parking is now at the opposite end of the area to the shipyard.
