Motorhome and campervan hire in Andalusia

visiting Andalusia in a motorhome or campervan


A guide to hiring a motorhome in Andalusia and planning your road trip


Do you dream of exploring Andalusia in complete freedom? Of watching the sun rise over a wild beach, waking up in the heart of the mountains, or staying out late in a white village without worrying about the time?


Hiring a motorhome or campervan is probably the best way to discover Andalusia.


This region in southern Spain has everything road trip enthusiasts could wish for: a sunny climate almost all year round, roads in excellent condition, extremely varied landscapes and an exceptional cultural heritage.

With your own vehicle, you’re free to change your itinerary as you please. Does a beach take your fancy? Stay an extra night. Has a village charmed you? Take the time to explore it. In a motorhome, you’re the one who decides.


This means you can enjoy both a vehicle and accommodation from €79 per day for a van and €89 per day for a motorhome. Prices vary depending on the season and model.

Why explore Andalusia in a motorhome?


Unlike a traditional holiday, you’re no longer tied to hotels, arrival times or bookings.


Your accommodation follows you wherever you go.


You travel at your own pace and make the most of every stop along the way.

In just a few days, you can go from:

  • the white villages of the Sierra de Grazalema to the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada
  • the desert landscapes of Tabernas to the wild coves of Cabo de Gata

A perfect itinerary combining beaches, sightseeing and activities:

  • Frigiliana
  • Granada
  • Cordoba
  • Seville
  • Tarifa

If you have young children, I’d particularly recommend two villages: Parauta, with its enchanted forest and its gnomes and elves in the province of Málaga, and Soportujar, the village of witches in the province of Granada.


A perfect destination all year round


Andalusia enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year.

Spring and autumn are ideal for exploring towns and natural landscapes.

Summer is perfect for enjoying the coast.

Even in winter, temperatures remain particularly pleasant along much of the coast.


Van or motorhome: which to choose?


It all depends on your travelling style.


The campervan


A campervan is particularly well-suited to:

  • couples
  • travellers looking for greater mobility
  • short road trips
  • people who want to drive a compact vehicle

The semi-integrated motorhome or coachbuilt motorhome


The semi-integrated motorhome offers more space whilst remaining very pleasant to drive. It’s an excellent choice for families.


The coachbuilt motorhome: its spacious interior allows you to travel in great comfort for several weeks.


Note: cars (saloon cars) are on average 4.50 metres long, vans are 5 metres long and motorhomes are 7 metres long.


Why book your motorhome or campervan with Topcaravaning?

The company also offers a One-Way service, allowing you to return the vehicle to another branch in Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao or Zaragoza. Although there may be a cost involved in leaving the vehicle at a different branch, this can be a more economical way to travel from Málaga to Barcelona.
