A comparison of 212 cities in Spain by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 19 regions of Spain by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.

The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.

VanSky Index

A weather comfort index for travel: a 0–100 score. Recalculated daily from live weather data — temperature, rainfall, wind and sun.

80–100 Ideal
60–79 Comfortable
40–59 Acceptable
20–39 Challenging
0–19 Extreme

How it's calculated:

  • Thermal comfort 35% — temperature + humidity
  • Sunshine 25% — panel charge, mood; in heat the sun is no longer a bonus
  • Precipitation 25% — rain → muddy ground
  • Wind 15% — awning, driving, noise
  • Extremes override all: frost, heat, storm, downpour
  • Heat counts by feels-like temperature: at 32°+ the score can’t reach “Comfortable”, muggy nights lower it further
  • A dangerous day drags the week down: a storm or downpour in the forecast keeps the week from being “Comfortable”
  • Bonus: warm sea, high panel output

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best city in Spain for van life?
Sort cities by the VanSky column — the higher the score, the more comfortable today. Also check solar panel output and sea temperature if you plan to stay near the coast.
What does the VanSky score mean for a city?
A score from 0 to 100 reflects a composite weather assessment: thermal comfort, precipitation level, wind strength, and sunshine. 80+ is ideal, 60–79 is comfortable, 40–59 is acceptable, below 40 is challenging.
How often is data updated for Spain?
Weather data for all cities in Spain is updated several times a day from the Open-Meteo service based on real observations.

Pedro Castañeda, who has been managing Praíña beach in A Estrada since 2020, says motorhomes are a major driver of tourism to the area. The beach has become a popular destination, attracting visitors from across Spain and abroad. This year, motorhomes have been frequenting the beach even on weekdays, boosting local spending. The site offers showers, grey and black water disposal points, and parking for over 100 motorhomes. Future plans include a chill-out area with wooden decking and a vegetative roof for evening use.

Content creator Guacimara Siverio, who has lived in a motorhome for three years, is debunking the romanticized image of this lifestyle. She points out that it is not necessarily cheaper than conventional housing due to maintenance, fuel, insurance, gas, campsites, and repairs. A breakdown can leave occupants without both transport and home. She also highlights difficulties in finding safe and legal parking spots, managing water and electricity, and the challenges of traveling with pets and in cold weather. Her main warning: moving into a motorhome does not solve personal problems—they 'travel with you.'

In Muros de Nalón, work will start in the coming weeks to convert a plot in San Esteban into a six-space motorhome area, and a project for a second parking area has been presented. In Soto del Barco, an area cannot be provided due to a lack of public land. A motorhome area with 11 spaces has been operating in Belmonte de Miranda since May.

Police in Palma arrested a 46-year-old Spanish woman on August 25 on suspicion of breaking into a motorhome parked on an undeveloped plot on Carrer Bartomeu Sureda i Miserol. The woman, who had been living in the vehicle for about a week, allegedly replaced the door lock, broke windows, and stole a TV, a vacuum cleaner, and two toolboxes. The owner, who uses the motorhome as a weekend second home, said he did not know the suspect. The incident highlights the growing housing shortage on the island, where hundreds of people now live in motorhomes and caravans.
