Hi All
Any answers to the above please? I think we have an enforced 4 day stop over and don’t want the fine from staying in the truck. Is there anywhere you would suggest not too far from Barcelona?
Or safe to leave truck and look after myself? It’s only got empty flight cases on board so I won’t worry about it too much 
The hotel I had thought of isn’t open until May 
Thanks
Perhaps near the airport by Viladecans rail station.There is street parking on an industrial/retail shopping zone with all facilities inc.hotels.
Thank you. That’s a great idea
As I see it , if you have flight cases on you’ll be on an event job ■■ I’d suggest getting over to Altafulla truckstop , and wouldn’t worry about the time off in your cab . Its highly unlikely you’ll be caught for that , and a lot of event trucks use Altafulla whilst waiting to load out . Good restaurant and bar , and a beach is handy too . If your working a big event there will probably be others there to socialise with if that’s your thing . Just a suggestion.

I agree that the chances of getting caught for an obligatory 45 in the cab, rather than in an hotel is slim, but it is a few grand fine for the driver.
30 to 50 euros for a night in an hotel room with ensuite, vs risk of ■■? fine?
“In France, the amount of the fine for spending 45-hour rest in the cabin reaches even 30 thousand euro, however, the average amount of is approx. 2.3 thousand euro. This violation has been punished since July 2014.”

Each to their own to weigh it up.

3 bedroom bungalow if you get on with your mates? 88eu for 2 nights. Under 15eu each per night. Feed yourself rather use resto and you`re paying next to nowt.
Thanks for the suggestions folks. I believe Altafulla has been suggested by one of the other guys going, although originally we are booked into muxu I think
TBH I shall see what the others guys are doing when we are together but quite fancy a couple of days at least in a decent place with a proper bed
In a wierd twist of fate , im almost in Bercelona myself , be there this evening and having 24 off !! Who knew ? 
Have fun
