Spaniards' favorite destinations for motorhome travel this summer

Spaniards are choosing to spend their summers on wheels within their own country. Their preferred pickup stations clearly reflect this trend: Bilbao leads with 29% of national reservations, followed by Madrid with 21%. This points to the growing popularity of northern Spain, especially the Basque Country, Cantabria, and Asturias, as ideal summer destinations for motorhome travel.

While in 2024, colder destinations in Northern Europe dominated bookings from June to August, that trend has now shifted . This shift toward domestic tourism is not only due to practical factors such as proximity, cost, or flexibility, but also "to a renewed interest in exploring little-known corners, connecting with nature, and enjoying a more sustainable and free experience," says Adriana Neves , Marketing Manager at CamperDays. "Choosing to travel by motorhome also allows you to avoid crowds and continue enjoying the surroundings in comfort and autonomy," she adds.

Canada continues to lead the way as the most popular international destination for Spanish travelers choosing to campervan, accounting for 23% of reservations made in Spain through CamperDays. Closer destinations like Italy and Spain follow, each accounting for 12% of reservations.

Furthermore, new international destinations such as Botswana and Japan are emerging. Although they still represent a small portion of total bookings, they reflect a growing interest in long-haul travel and enriching cultural experiences. These destinations were not registered in previous years, reflecting greater diversity and sophistication in the preferences of Spanish travelers.

Platforms like CamperDays, which has experienced 40% growth in the last year, make trip planning simple and flexible. Through its digital platform, users can compare models, prices, and conditions, and book in just a few clicks.
