In the Poqueira gorge, Pampaneira, Bubión and Capileira cling to the slope with their flat-roofed white houses, before Trevélez and its ham-curing sheds. In the villages, park at the entrance and continue on foot.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Granada?
Best time
Spring and autumn
April to June, September to October
highs 20 to 30 °C, lows 8 to 17 °C
The best times to leave from Granada: warm but bearable days, cool nights and Sierra Nevada peaks still white in spring. The Alpujarras are in bloom in April and May, while in September and October the sea along the Costa Tropical stays pleasant and the great Andalusian cities can be visited without overwhelming heat.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 35 °C, lows 21 °C
Inland Andalusia becomes a furnace: average highs reach 35 °C in Granada, and often more in Córdoba and Seville. Visit early in the morning, seek the coolness of the Alpujarras and the Sierra Nevada or the breeze of the Costa Tropical, and choose a well-ventilated vehicle, parked in the shade at each stop.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 13 to 17 °C, lows 3 to 7 °C
Days are often sunny, but nights are cold in Granada, a high-altitude city, and snow covers the Sierra Nevada, the southernmost ski resort in Europe. A heated vehicle is essential; the much milder Costa Tropical offers a pleasant retreat. March is the wettest month of the year.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Albaicín and the historic centre are off-limits
The steep lanes of the Albaicín, Sacromonte and Realejo are reserved for residents, taxis and minibuses, with camera checks, and are far too narrow for a motorhome. Leave the vehicle at the campsite or in a car park on the outskirts, then go up on foot or by city minibus.
Granada's low emission zone
Granada has introduced a camera-controlled low emission zone that restricts access for the most polluting vehicles, based on their DGT environmental label. Ask the rental company which label your vehicle carries and check the rules in force before driving into the city.
The Sierra Nevada road in winter
The road up to the Pradollano ski resort is steep and may require snow chains from the first snowfalls. Beyond it, the track to the Veleta is closed to private vehicles. In winter, check road conditions and ask the rental company whether chains are provided.
Toll-free motorways, except on the coast
The main roads out of Granada, the A-44 to the sea and the A-92 to Seville and Almería, are toll-free dual carriageways. Only a few sections of the Costa del Sol, towards Málaga and Marbella, are tolled, with slower toll-free roads running alongside.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Granada
Where can I pick up a campervan in Granada?
Three partner companies hand over their vehicles in Granada: Anywhere Campers, Autocaravan Express and Hostel On Wheels, each with its own depot. The exact address and meeting time are in your booking confirmation; let the company know your arrival time if you are coming by train or plane.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Granada?
The price depends mainly on the season, summer and Holy Week being the busiest periods, but also on the length of hire and the type of vehicle. Run a search with your dates: you get the real prices of the Granada rental companies, mandatory fees included, ready to book straight away.
How can I visit the Alhambra with a campervan?
Book your tickets several weeks ahead, especially in spring: they are issued in your name and entry to the Nasrid palaces is at a set time. Do not drive up through the centre in a motorhome: park on the outskirts or at the campsite, then reach the hill by city minibus or taxi.
Can I return the campervan in Málaga or Seville?
Málaga, Seville, Córdoba, Almería, Marbella and Gibraltar are also departure cities of our partners, which opens up many one-way trips across Andalusia. A fee may apply: enter your return city when searching and it is then included in the displayed price.
How many days should I plan when leaving from Granada?
Three to four days are enough for the Sierra Nevada and the Alpujarras. Allow five to six days for the Costa Tropical and Cabo de Gata, and at least a week to combine Córdoba, Seville and the white villages. In two weeks, you can do all three without long driving days.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Granada
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, shown in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Andalusia?
Campsites and motorhome areas are plentiful around Granada, in the Alpujarras and on the coast. Overnight parking is regulated town by town, and camping outside authorised places is banned in natural parks such as Cabo de Gata or the Sierra Nevada. In spring and summer, book your pitches.
Which airport should I choose for a departure from Granada?
Federico García Lorca airport, west of the city, mainly handles domestic flights and a few European routes. For more choice, Málaga airport is about an hour and a half's drive away, with regular buses to Granada. Then plan a taxi to the depot.
When should I book a campervan in Granada?
Several months ahead for July and August, and for Holy Week, a major event in Andalusia. With only three rental companies on site, choice shrinks quickly in high season. In autumn and winter, a few weeks are usually enough, except during the end-of-year holidays.
Can I cross to Morocco with a hired campervan?
Ferries to Morocco leave from Algeciras, Tarifa or Almería, but most rental companies do not allow the vehicle to leave the European Union, and the insurance then no longer covers it. Check the authorised countries in the offer conditions before planning the crossing.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Granada
Granada is one of the few departure points in Europe where, in a single day, you go from a World Heritage palace to high mountains and then to the sea. At the heart of eastern Andalusia, the city opens up three very different trips: the Berber villages of the Alpujarras, the volcanic coast of Cabo de Gata and the great art cities of Córdoba and Seville.
The three partner companies offer both nimble campervans for mountain roads and roomier low-profile motorhomes for family trips. The proximity of Málaga, Almería and Seville, other departure cities of our partners, makes one-way trips and arrival by plane easier. Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions to combine mountains, coast and art cities without suffering the summer heat.
