FAQ
What is the best season for traveling?
Winter and the off-season are ideal. Between October and April, the climate is mild, towns are calm, and enforcement is more relaxed. You should avoid July and August if you want to overnight outside campgrounds.
Are coastal areas good for overnighting?
During the day, yes; at night, usually not. Many coastal towns prohibit overnight stays due to environmental and fire safety reasons. Inland areas, small villages, and official motorhome sites are far better options.
What are Áreas de Autocaravanas?
Official motorhome areas with fresh water, waste disposal, and sometimes electricity. Many are free or low-cost and offer a perfect legal alternative to wild camping.
How do I find good places to stay?
StayFree helps you discover community-recommended spots, official motorhome areas, private Áreas, and quiet parking places. Reviews help you choose safe and pleasant overnight spots.
