Original source: europapress.es

In Brief

Motorhome and camper travel is growing in Spain. Experts highlight freedom and nature contact but stress the need for planning. The rental market is expanding, though compact camper registrations dipped in August and October 2024.

Motorhome and camper tourism in Spain is experiencing a surge. In a Europa Press podcast, José Cruz, manager of Certamen Caravaning and Caravanas Cruz, noted that this type of travel offers freedom of movement and direct contact with nature without sacrificing comfort, but requires planning and consideration of vehicle dimensions. The episode also featured a RACE guide with tips on safety, fuel consumption, and route selection.

Since the pandemic, the segment has grown significantly, attracting tourists who value freedom and avoid crowds. The rental market is expanding, making this form of travel more accessible, although registrations of compact campers temporarily declined in August and October 2024.
