Road trip ideas
Road trips from Almeria
1 The Cabo de Gata-Níjar natural park
- Almería
- Cabo de Gata
- San José
- Los Escullos
- Rodalquilar
- Las Negras
- Agua Amarga
- Níjar
- Almería
The salt flats of Cabo de Gata, where flamingos gather, lead to the lighthouse and the Las Sirenas reefs. As the coastal track to San José is closed to traffic, you get there via the inland road, before the coves of Los Escullos, the former gold mine of Rodalquilar, Las Negras and Agua Amarga. Return via Níjar, its pottery and its jarapa rugs.
- Distance
- about 200 km
- Recommended vehicle
- Campervan or converted van
2 Tabernas Desert, Sorbas and Calar Alto
- Almería
- Tabernas
- Sorbas
- Gérgal
- Calar Alto
- Almería
Half an hour to the north, the bare ravines of Tabernas served as Sergio Leone's Wild West; several former film sets can still be visited. Sorbas overlooks a meander of the Aguas river and its caves carved into gypsum. The road then climbs via Gérgal to the Calar Alto observatory, at the top of the Sierra de los Filabres, through tight hairpin bends.
- Distance
- about 220 km
- Recommended vehicle
- Campervan or compact motorhome
3 To Cartagena via Mojácar and the Costa Cálida
- Almería
- Mojácar
- Águilas
- Mazarrón
- Cartagena
Head north-east on the A-7 to Mojácar, a white village perched above the sea, then Águilas, the first town in the Murcia region. The wind-sculpted sandstone of Bolnuevo, near Mazarrón, comes before Cartagena and its Roman theatre, where you can return the vehicle, as in Murcia; the wild beaches of Calblanque lie just to the east.
- Distance
- about 230 km
- Recommended vehicle
- Low-profile motorhome or converted van
Weather and seasons
When to go in Almeria?
Best time
March to June
March to June
highs 19 to 29 °C, lows 11 to 21 °C
The Tabernas Desert can be visited without oppressive heat, days go from ten to fourteen hours of sunshine and the coves of Cabo de Gata stay quiet. March, the wettest month of the year, brings a few showers; from May, the sea warms up to around 19 °C, then 22 °C in June.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 32 °C, lows 24 to 25 °C
Almost no rain, a sea at 26 or 27 °C and nights that hardly drop below 24 °C: a well-ventilated vehicle becomes precious. The beaches of the natural park and the campsites of San José are packed with Spanish holidaymakers, and Tabernas is best visited only at sunrise.
Best time
September to November
September to November
highs 20 to 29 °C, lows 12 to 21 °C
The sea stays at 25 °C in September and still 21 °C in October, when the coastal campsites empty. It is the ideal time to combine swimming at Cabo de Gata with hiking in the Sierra de los Filabres. November, cooler, still has nine hours of sunshine a day.
Winter
December to February
December to February
highs 17 to 18 °C, lows 8 to 9 °C
With barely 12 mm of rain in February and nine to ten hours of sunshine a day, Almería has one of the driest winters on the continent, sought after by motorhome travellers on long stays. Nights remain cool: choose a heated vehicle, especially to drive up to Calar Alto.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The Alcazaba on foot from the port
The streets of the La Chanca district and the old centre, at the foot of the Alcazaba, are narrow and steep. Park instead in a car park on the outskirts or near the seafront, then walk up to the fortress, the fortified cathedral and the underground Civil War shelters.
Take care in the sea of plastic
Around Níjar and on the Dalías plain, west of the city, thousands of greenhouses cover the landscape. The lanes serving them are narrow, poorly signposted and used by lorries: stay on the main roads, even if the GPS suggests a shortcut between the greenhouses.
Regulated nights at Cabo de Gata
In the natural park, overnight motorhome parking is banned outside campsites and authorised areas, and checks are frequent in summer. Book a pitch in San José, Los Escullos or Las Negras; in high season, vehicle access to the Mónsul and Genoveses beaches is often restricted, with a shuttle bus.
A-7 and A-92 toll-free
The A-7 motorway along the coast and the A-92 towards Guadix and Granada are free from Almería. Beyond Vera, the coastal section of the AP-7 towards Cartagena is normally tolled, with slower free roads alongside: check the current rates.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Almeria
Where can I pick up a campervan in Almería?
Anywhere Campers and Autocaravan Express hand over their vehicles in Almería, Blurent in Huércal de Almería, a neighbouring town north of the city. McRent is based in Antas, near Vera, more than an hour's drive north-east on the A-7: bear this in mind if you arrive by plane. The exact address is in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Almería?
The rate varies with the season, the length of hire and the size of the vehicle, from a two-berth campervan to a family motorhome sleeping six. July and August remain the most sought-after period on this coast. Run a search with your dates to see the real prices of the Almería rental companies, mandatory fees included.
Can I return the vehicle in Granada, Málaga or Murcia?
Yes: Granada, Málaga, Marbella, Murcia, Cartagena and Elche are also served by our partners, so you can follow the Mediterranean or head into inland Andalusia without retracing your steps. One-way fees may apply; they are included in the displayed price as soon as you choose another return city.
How many days should I plan from Almería?
Three or four days are enough to explore Cabo de Gata while taking time to swim, two more for Tabernas, Sorbas and Calar Alto. A week lets you combine both loops; with ten to fifteen days, you can follow the coast up to Cartagena or head for the Sierra Nevada and Granada.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Almería
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Spain?
Rental campervans, converted vans and motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence. If your licence was issued outside the European Union, an international driving permit may also be required. The minimum age and years of driving required are shown in each rental company's conditions.
Which airport should I choose for a departure from Almería?
Almería airport is east of the city, on the road to Cabo de Gata, about fifteen minutes from the centre by taxi. It handles domestic flights and seasonal routes to several European countries. For more choice, Málaga airport is about two and a half hours' drive away.
When should I book a campervan in Almería?
Several months ahead for July and August, and for winter, when the mild coast attracts many travellers on long stays. With only four rental companies, family models go quickly. In spring and autumn, booking a few weeks before departure is usually enough, except around Holy Week.
Can I swim out of season in Almería?
The sea stays at 21 °C in October and 18 °C in November, so you can still swim at Cabo de Gata late in the season. It does not drop below 16 °C from January to March: swimming then becomes a challenge, but the beaches are deserted and the sunshine generous.
Can I take a ferry to Melilla or Morocco?
The port of Almería serves Melilla and Nador, but most rental contracts exclude ferry crossings and leaving the European Union, as the insurance no longer applies. Before planning the trip, check the authorised areas in the offer conditions and ask for the rental company's written consent.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Almería
Almería is the ideal departure point for anyone looking for a different Andalusia, far from the art cities and the Costa del Sol: volcanic and desert landscapes, a light that drew the film industry, fishing villages that have kept a human scale. In less than an hour, you go from the beaches of Cabo de Gata to the badlands of Tabernas, then to the peaks of the Sierra de los Filabres.
The four partner companies cover every size, from a nimble campervan for the natural park's tracks to a family motorhome. Granada, Murcia, Cartagena and Málaga, other departure cities, open up one-way trips through the mountains or along the coast. And outside high summer, the mild coast lets you set off at almost any time.
