Spain, with its varied landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is an ideal destination for an unforgettable adventure. Renting a camper van in Spain will allow you to discover hidden treasures, from sunny beaches to majestic mountains. Whether you want to explore the charming streets of Barcelona or marvel at the Andalusian architecture of Seville, a road trip in a camper van gives you the freedom to choose your itinerary. Enjoy the many campsites and parking areas that dot the country, and let yourself be seduced by the local cuisine and breathtaking landscapes throughout your journey.
Discovering Spain in a camper van offers a unique freedom to explore its varied landscapes, historic cities, and sunny coasts. Whether you have a week or several weeks, here are three iconic itineraries suited to different durations, combining culture, nature, and gastronomy, for an unforgettable journey across the country.
The Costa Brava and Barcelona (7-10 days)
For a stay of one week to ten days, embark on a discovery of the Costa Brava, a region renowned for its wild coves, fishing villages like Cadaqués and El Port de la Selva, as well as its preserved beaches. Continue to Girona, a medieval city with intact charm, and finish in Barcelona, where you can enjoy Gaudí's architecture and the lively atmosphere of the Ramblas. This itinerary combines sea, culture, and Catalan gastronomy, with well-equipped camper van areas for optimal comfort.
From Madrid to Andalusia via the Mediterranean in 14 days
In two weeks, start in Madrid, a dynamic capital offering museums and nightlife, then head south visiting Córdoba and Seville, jewels of Andalusia with their white alleys and Moorish monuments. Continue to Ronda and the Mediterranean coast, with stops in Marbella and Malaga to enjoy the beaches and the sweet life. This route of about 1800 km allows for a pleasant pace with major cultural stops like the Alhambra in Granada, which should be booked in advance. Camper van areas are numerous and well-distributed, facilitating travel.
Deep dive into Andalusia and its surroundings in 21 days
For three weeks, explore Andalusia in depth: Seville, Córdoba, Granada, and Malaga form the backbone of the trip, enriched by visits to national parks like Sierra Nevada and typical white villages. Add an incursion to Cadiz and Jerez de la Frontera to discover flamenco and local traditions. This circuit of nearly 1000 km combines nature, history, and gastronomy, with parking areas suitable for camper vans. The diversity of landscapes and cultural richness make this itinerary a complete immersion in southern Spain.

Explore Spain in a camper van or converted van
Spain offers an exceptional diversity of landscapes and climates, ideal for adventure in a camper van or converted van, whether to enjoy the Andalusian sun, the beaches of the Costa Blanca, or the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.
When to travel to Spain in a camper van?
The best time to travel in a camper van in Spain generally extends from April to October, with pleasant temperatures throughout the territory. In Andalusia, spring and autumn are particularly mild, perfect for visiting Seville or Granada without the summer crowds. On the Costa Blanca, winter remains sunny, with days often around 20°C, ideal for avoiding tourists and enjoying Mediterranean landscapes.
Weather and seasons in Spain
The climate varies by region: oceanic in the northwest with cool summers in Galicia, continental in the center around Madrid, and Mediterranean on the coasts. In Andalusia, the sun shines more than 300 days a year, while in Catalonia, the Costa Brava offers mild temperatures even in winter. Nights can be cool in April and October, especially in mountainous areas like the Sierra Nevada.
Seasonality and rates
Camping and parking rates are more favorable off-season, particularly from November to March on the Costa del Sol or Costa Azahar. In summer, prices rise, especially in beach resorts like Cadiz or Alicante, but outdoor activities are plentiful. Winter remains the ideal time to travel without breaking the bank, while enjoying the sun on the Costa de Almería or Costa Tropical.

Traveling in a camper van or converted van in Spain: practical tips
Spain, with its varied landscapes and vibrant cities, attracts many travelers in camper vans or converted vans. To fully enjoy this mode of travel, it is essential to know the driving rules, parking regulations, and local best practices.
Driving and regulations
Since 2025, Spain has strengthened its rules regarding camper vans, particularly with the establishment of low emission zones (LEZ) in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Pamplona, and soon Girona. These zones restrict the circulation of older camper vans, often diesel, and require prior registration to circulate in certain city centers, like in San Sebastián. Non-compliance with these rules can result in fines ranging from 50 to 150 euros. Furthermore, the maximum speed limit is 120 km/h on highways, 90 km/h on national roads, and 30 km/h in cities, with increased vigilance from law enforcement, especially in Madrid and Bilbao.
Sleeping and connecting
In Spain, it is legal to sleep inside your camper van or converted van in an authorized parking space, for example in cities like Valencia or Seville, as long as you do not exceed the limits of the space with external equipment. Wild camping, meaning setting up tents or furniture outside of official campsites or areas, is prohibited throughout Spain, including in natural parks like the Picos de Europa National Park. Municipalities may also regulate the parking of recreational vehicles based on their size and weight, so it is advisable to check locally before settling in.
Local tips and safety
To avoid fines and respect customs, it is important to clearly differentiate between parking and camping. For example, in Barcelona, it is tolerated to park and sleep in your vehicle without deploying external equipment, but wild camping is strictly prohibited. Spanish coastal law often prohibits camping or even parking overnight less than 100 to 200 meters from the coastline, especially in protected areas like the Costa Brava. Finally, it is recommended to always have your documents in order, including an appropriate license if the camper van exceeds 4.25 tons, and to respect local rules for safe driving and parking.
Frequently Asked Questions in Spain
What documents are required to rent a camper van in Spain?
To rent a camper van in Spain, you generally need to present a valid driver's license (often type B for vehicles under 3.5 tons), an identity card or passport, and a credit card in the name of the main driver for the deposit. Depending on the rental companies, an international driver's license may be required for non-EU residents. It is advisable to check the specific conditions of each rental company.
What is the minimum age required to rent a camper van in Spain?
The minimum age to rent a camper van in Spain is generally 21 years, but many rental companies require the driver to be at least 23 or 25 years old. Some providers may also ask for several years of driving experience. It is important to check the conditions of each agency before booking your camper van rental in Spain.
Where can you park and spend the night in a camper van in Spain?
In Spain, it is allowed to spend the night in parking lots along highways, unless otherwise indicated. Wild camping is regulated differently depending on the regions and is prohibited in national parks. For a legal and safe stay, prefer camper van areas and campsites, easily locatable via specialized apps. Always respect local signage to avoid fines.
What are the specific traffic rules for camper vans in Spain?
In Spain, the maximum width allowed for a camper van is 2.55 meters. It is prohibited to tow another motor vehicle, except in case of breakdown. Some cities, like Barcelona, implement environmental zones with access restrictions based on the vehicle's emission class. Speed limits and parking rules must be strictly observed to avoid any fines.
Is specific insurance required to rent a camper van in Spain?
Yes, comprehensive insurance is generally included in the camper van rental in Spain, covering damage to the vehicle and liability. However, a deductible remains the responsibility of the renter in case of an incident. It is possible to purchase additional options to reduce the deductible or cover personal belongings. Always check the guarantees and exclusions before departing.
How does the deposit work when renting a camper van?
A deposit is systematically required when renting a camper van in Spain. It serves to cover any potential damages or additional costs. The amount varies by rental company and vehicle type and is generally blocked on a credit card for the duration of the rental. The deposit is refunded after checking the vehicle, provided there are no damages.
Can you travel year-round in a camper van in Spain?
Spain enjoys a mild and sunny climate over most of its territory, particularly in the south and Andalusia. Therefore, it is possible to travel in a camper van year-round. However, some mountainous regions, like the Pyrenees, may be less accessible in winter due to snow. Summer and autumn are particularly favorable for enjoying the beaches and varied landscapes.

Very good price and good service
Cooldrive did not deliver the service / car they offered and signed. The RV we rented was not equipped as the one in the contract. They did not offer any solution to this issue. They said it is a take it or leave it issue. Very poor customer service, not possible to reach them on the phone. Although Cooldrive admits they did not deliver what was promised, they did not offer any compensation, just...
The availability for pick-up and drop-off met our needs perfectly.
The site is a bit slow, and there is a cruel lack of information.
Responsive to communication.

Very good price and very good service
Quick and honest response
Efficient, smooth and always prioritizing customer interest. They found a better deal for me than what I was getting from any other company. They were prompt and helpful in resolving all my queries after booking. I strongly recommend considering them before you book anywhere else.
good rental site, friendly and available staff
The rental is perfectly managed from the first quote to the pickup of the camper van. We dealt with very competent and welcoming people.
First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental needs to be made from France to Canada. Many questions, and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support to guide me in my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and a service that met our expectations. Nothing to complain about. Great!

Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.

We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
