The Biscay coast sees a summer surge in motorhomes, caravans and camper vans from across Europe. Municipalities like Sopela, Barrika and Plentzia host dozens of travellers daily. The trend, intensified after the pandemic, has become a hallmark of the summer season. However, a lack of uniform regulation means overnight parking in a properly parked vehicle is not always legally defined as camping, leaving final decisions to local councils. Biscay has 19 designated motorhome areas, including Sopela (48-hour limit, no external items), Berango (free water, near metro) and Zamudio (water services). The Basque Country Camping Association calls for more dedicated sites with basic services and time limits to manage visitor flow and avoid unfair competition with campsites.
Travel by motorhome is growing in popularity in Spain, but owners face a shortage of parking spaces and restrictions from municipalities. The vice president of the Galician Motorhome Association said they will not tolerate discrimination. A royal decree effective October 1 allows motorhomes to park on equal terms with other vehicles. Galicia has 116 public motorhome areas, while Spain has 1,400, far fewer than France's 6,000.
Tourists from across Spain and abroad are arriving in Soria to witness the total solar eclipse on August 12.

José and Patri, creators of the Aventuras Jose y Patri channel, gave up renting and moved into a motorhome.

Motorhome travel in Spain has grown by 185% over the past decade, according to Alexandre, manager of a motorhome rental company in Vigo. He told COPE that this form of tourism is 'here to stay', citing growing demand for freedom and family travel. While parking areas remain limited, more are being created. Peak season runs from late June to early September, with a minimum rental period of seven days.
