COUNTRY
Spain is a paradise for campers: guaranteed sunshine, sea, mountains, and a great sense of freedom. “Áreas de Autocaravanas” are especially common — urban or nature-based motorhome stopovers with basic infrastructure, often free of charge. Wild camping is officially restricted, but it is tolerated in many places, especially in rural regions. Spain’s coastlines are popular with vanlifers, while the interior surprises with mountain ranges, desert landscapes, and authentic villages. Whether it’s surfing in the Basque Country, beaches in Andalusia, or adventures in the Pyrenees — Spain has something to offer for every style of camping.

Aragón is a good region for campers who like open landscapes, mountain areas, and quieter travel routes.

Around Huesca, Zaragoza, and Teruel, the landscape shifts to plateaus, forests, and dry hillsides. Rural campsites and small camper areas are common near natural parks like Ordesa, Sierra de Guara, and the Maestrazgo region. These areas are well suited for walking, canyoning, or just enjoying quieter roads and small villages.
