| Driving directions to: Spanish Banks West
hey guys,
i have to go to spanish banks west this week and i'm not sure how to get there.
so i google mapp'ed it and i got this http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sourc...,0.077162&z=14
Is the "B" Spanish banks West? Spanish banks west also has free parking apparently. the street view shows parking spots and i do not see meters.
If someone could confirm that be great.

move down your streetview by 100m east and you'll see the free parking lot
dont be surprised if it's full if you plan on going during weekends

there is usually room infront of the houses because most of them have garages. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk

And make sure if you do park on the side of the road, that you don't park too far over and end up in the ditch like the pics we saw on here from last week lol
