Walking is the best way to get around Arcos. Parking is very limited especially in the old part on the hill. There is a car park in the square in front of St Marys. The roads are very narrow in the old part which can make driving difficult.
There is a huge car park at the bottom of the hill near to a school. When we entered Arcos instead of driving up the hill to the old town, we took the road to the right and there is a very big car park. There is a hut for the attendant however being November it was closed and the car park virtually empty. Cross over the road and there are steps to take you up the hill to the old town.
There is also an underground car park which you can enter from either Paseo de Andalucia or Avenida Duque de Arcos.
If you enlarge the photograph you can see a a very sandy coloured area that is the car park, photograph taken from the road at the top of the steps.
