Hitting the open road in Spain with your motorhome or caravan? While it promises freedom, understanding the DGT’s strict distinction between “parking” and “camping” is vital to avoid fines. Learn what’s allowed, where to stay, and the specific licensing and speed requirements for both motorhomes and towed caravans to ensure a smooth, penalty-free Spanish adventure.
Spain anticipates a record-breaking summer with over 100 million long-distance road trips. The Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) is implementing special measures and heightened surveillance to ensure safety, with a strong focus on preventing accidents caused by motorcyclists, distracted driving, and alcohol consumption. Plan your journeys wisely and prioritize safety to enjoy your summer travels!

Saturday will turn warmer, with mostly dry conditions expected, though increased traffic in tourist areas might be a factor. Sunday, however, brings a higher likelihood of rain across the country, requiring drivers to be prepared for wet roads, reduced visibility, and the need for extra caution and travel time.
