- Begur
- Cadaqués
- Cap de Creus
- Figueres
- Girona
- Barcelona
To the north, the coast road passes Tossa de Mar and its ramparts, then the fishing villages of Calella de Palafrugell and Begur, with their turquoise coves. Cadaqués and Cap de Creus mark the tip of the peninsula, before the Dalí museum in Figueres and the old town of Girona, another departure city of our partners. The cliff roads are narrow: a campervan gets through more easily.

The Envalira pass leads into Andorra, before La Seu d'Urgell and the Boí valley, with its Romanesque churches and Aigüestortes National Park. Return via Lleida and the plain. Choose a vehicle able to handle long climbs.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Barcelona?
Best time
Spring and early summer
April to June
highs 18 to 26 °C, lows 10 to 19 °C
The best time to leave from Barcelona: long sunny days, green Pyrenees after the snowmelt and a Costa Brava that is still quiet. The sea warms up noticeably in June, and coastal campsites still have space before the school holidays.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 29 °C, lows 21 to 22 °C
Catalan peak season: warm sea, balmy nights and Costa Brava beaches packed with visitors. Coastal campsites are full and traffic is heavy around Barcelona. The cool air of the Pyrenees, the Cerdanya or the Boí valley then offers the best escape.
September to November
September to November
highs 18 to 25 °C, lows 9 to 18 °C
September and October keep a warm sea but are the wettest months of the year, with violent Mediterranean storms. November, drier and mild, is ideal for the golden vineyards of the Priorat and the autumn forests of the Pyrenean valleys, away from the crowds.
Winter
December to March
December to March
highs 14 to 16 °C, lows 5 to 8 °C
Winter remains mild and sunny on the coast, perfect for Tarragona, the Ebro Delta or Sitges out of season. In the mountains, snow sometimes closes the passes and the Envalira pass requires winter equipment: ask the rental company whether the vehicle has snow tyres or chains.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Depots on the outskirts of Barcelona
BlackSheep is in Ripollet, Indie Campers in Martorell, McRent in Barberà del Vallès, in Sallent on the road to Berga and in Gavà near the airport, and Touring Cars in Sant Boi de Llobregat and Viladecans. Check the exact address in your confirmation and plan a train or taxi from the centre.
The Rondes low-emission zone
The whole area enclosed by Barcelona's ring roads, the Rondes, is a low-emission zone, in force on weekdays during the day. Only vehicles with a DGT environmental label can drive in freely: check that your motorhome has one before entering the city.
Visiting Barcelona without the motorhome
Vehicle break-ins are common in Barcelona, especially near tourist sites and in seafront car parks. Leave the motorhome at a campsite on the outskirts, in Gavà or on the Maresme coast, and take the train into the centre. Never leave luggage in sight.
Montserrat by motorhome
The road up to the monastery is winding and the car park at the top fills quickly in season. The easiest option is to park at the bottom, in Monistrol or at the foot of the mountain, and go up by rack railway or cable car, setting off early in the morning.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Barcelona
Where can I pick up a campervan in Barcelona?
Nine partner companies welcome you at twelve depots: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express, Avis Explore, Hostel On Wheels and Motorhomes Italy in Barcelona, BlackSheep in Ripollet, Indie Campers in Martorell, McRent in Barberà del Vallès, Sallent and Gavà, and Touring Cars in Sant Boi de Llobregat and Viladecans. The exact address is in your confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Barcelona?
The price varies greatly with the season, the length of hire, the type of vehicle and the departure depot: a campervan in winter has nothing in common with a large motorhome in August. Run a search with your dates: offers from Barcelona's rental companies are shown with their real price, mandatory fees included, ready to book straight away.
Can I drive to Andorra or France with a campervan hired in Barcelona?
Often yes, but Andorra is not part of the European Union: there is a customs check at the border and not all rental companies allow it. Check the countries covered by the insurance in the offer conditions before planning Andorra, Roussillon or the Côte Vermeille, two hours' drive to the north.
Can I do a one-way trip from Barcelona?
Yes: Girona, Tarragona, Lleida, Zaragoza and Valencia are also departure cities of our partners. Driving down the coast to Valencia via the Ebro Delta is a popular one-way trip. Enter the return city when searching: any one-way fees are then included in the displayed price.
Which vehicle for the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees?
On the Costa Brava, cliff roads and village car parks are narrow, and some municipalities restrict motorhome access: a campervan or compact camper van is the most practical. For the Pyrenees with a family, a low-profile motorhome offers more comfort and more berths.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Barcelona
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Spain?
A European category B licence is enough for motorhomes, campervans and converted vans under 3.5 tonnes. With a non-European licence, an international driving permit may be required. Each rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, stated in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Catalonia?
Wild camping is banned in Catalonia and many coastal municipalities prohibit motorhomes from parking overnight on the seafront. Use the municipal motorhome areas, common inland and in the Pyrenees, and campsites, which are plentiful on the Costa Brava and the Maresme coast. Book them in summer.
Are motorways tolled in Catalonia?
Major routes such as the AP-7, which runs along the coast from the French border to Tarragona, have been toll-free for a few years. Some structures are still tolled, notably the Cadí tunnel towards the Cerdanya and the Vallvidrera tunnels north of Barcelona. Keep a bank card handy.
How do I get to the depots from Barcelona-El Prat airport?
The McRent depot in Gavà and the Touring Cars depots in Viladecans and Sant Boi de Llobregat are a few kilometres from the airport, reachable by taxi. For Martorell, Ripollet or Barberà del Vallès, take the commuter train or a longer taxi ride. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
Can I take a hired motorhome on a ferry to the Balearic Islands?
Ferries link the port of Barcelona with Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza, but most rental companies forbid sea crossings or require their written consent. Read the offer conditions and ask the company before booking the crossing, as the insurance may not cover the journey.
When should I book a campervan in Barcelona?
Several months ahead for July and August, when Barcelona and the Costa Brava see their biggest crowds, as well as for Holy Week at Easter. In spring, autumn and winter, the choice remains wide a few weeks before departure, especially for low-profile motorhomes.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Barcelona
Barcelona is the ideal starting point to discover Catalonia in all its variety: the coves and white villages of the Costa Brava, the peaks and Romanesque valleys of the Pyrenees, the Priorat vineyards and the lagoons of the Ebro Delta are all within a few hours' drive. France and Andorra are close by, making it easy to extend the trip beyond the Pyrenees.
With nine partner companies and twelve depots around the city, the choice ranges from a compact campervan for two to a family motorhome, and you can hit the road without crossing the centre. Girona, Tarragona, Lleida, Zaragoza and Valencia, other departure cities of our partners, open up one-way trips. Finally, the Mediterranean climate, mild in winter and sunny from spring to autumn, makes it possible to travel almost all year round.
