Craving a meal after long hours of drive this rest stop was very convenient. On our way to Barcelona. It’s actually very big with plenty of amenities and showers. Although I didn’t took advantage of the showers. I pick up some breakfast and sit on their large restaurant seating area. It was a great stop, although prices are quite expensive you pay for the convenience I guess.

‼There are car burglaries in the parking. Don't leave valuables in your car. It's a good place to eat and rest on the road.
