The motorhome sector in the Valencian Community maintains sales and rental volumes similar to last year's, despite rising fuel prices. The main users are families with children and retirees, with a growing share of young people and tourists from South America. The key issue remains the insufficient number of designated service areas, especially in Alicante and Valencia.

Local Tourism: Growth Despite Expensive Fuel

Motorhome and caravan tourism in Spain remains strong despite rising fuel prices. According to ASEICAR, over 100,000 such vehicles with 300,000 travelers will be on the roads during Easter. The average trip distance has decreased from 600–800 km to 200–400 km, with 90% of rental vehicles booked in advance. The association highlights the need to increase dedicated motorhome parking areas from the current 1,500 to 3,500.

Benicarló as an alternative to Peñíscola for camper travel

Benicarló, a town neighboring Peñíscola on the Castellón coast, offers a more relaxed atmosphere and beaches with full services. The Gurugú, Morrongo, and Caracola beaches have amenities and restaurants, while the historic center features monuments from the 15th–16th centuries. The Puig de la Nau archaeological site is one of the best-preserved Iberian settlements in the Valencian Community, with walls over 2 meters high. For overnight stays, Camping Alegría del Mar is recommended, located 1.5 km from the center with electricity and waste disposal; parking at Partida Solaes beach is prohibited for overnight stays.
