Best campervan routes from Barcelona
One of the best ways to make the most of your time in the area when you rent a motorhome in Barcelona is to take a nice road trip. To help you plan your trip, here are some of the best and most popular routes to try on your holiday.
Barcelona to Terres de I’Ebre
Along a lovely stretch of the Catalonian coast via the C-32 and AP-7, the journey between Barcelona and Terres de I’Ebre may not be the longest route. Still, it does offer you the opportunity to enjoy some stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. There is a beautiful combination of stretches of mountains that follow the sea. It may only be around 171 km, but there is enough to see and do to stretch your trip out over a few days.
Costa Brava
A road trip along the Costa Brava is much shorter than the above. Covering around 120 km of the coast along the Med from the Spanish-French border to Blanes and the Girona province coast, this is an incredible journey for all lovers of the beach, sunshine and the sea.
Barcelona to Cartagena
A longer and more expansive trip takes you from Barcelona 620.3km southwards to the coastal town of Cartagena. Expect stunning scenery and plenty of places to stop along the way. With a journey time of around six and a half hours, if you were to take it on nonstop, there is plenty of scope for a long, drawn-out road trip. You can stop at places as diverse and beautiful as Castellon de la Plana, Valencia, Javea, Alicante, and Murcia before you arrive in Cartagena.
Some of Barcelona’s best attractions
Barcelona is known for its unique artsy flair and some of the best fresh food markets. Below we have put together some of the best sights to visit:
Basílica de la Sagrada Família
The Basilica was designed by Gaudi and it was not finished in his lifetime. After his death various architects continued to work on the Basilica.
The Basilica is still not finished; however, tourists may visit the interior to see the fantastic artworks. The main nave is an immense space of 295 ftlong by 200 fthigh. The ceiling sparkles with decorative details, and colorful stained-glass windows.
Mercat de la Boqueria
A traditional open-air market since 1836which has been a centerpiece in the heart of the city on La Rambla. Locals visit the market regularlyand shoppers come from all corners of Catalonia to this truly special gourmet food and produce market.
You can find a range of different tasty fresh foods and produce here such as fruits and vegetables, sandwiches, glistening candied fruits, savory and sweet pastries, chocolates and so much more.
Bogatell Beach
This is known as one of the best beaches in Spain. It is still within the city limits of Barcelona. It’s a great place to sunbathe, socialize, relax, play volleyball, or go windsurfing. Other things to do include kitesurfing and kayaking.
The 1,970ft long beach features a sandy shoreline and excellent amenities. There is also a beachfront promenade with snack bars and ice-cream stores.
Parc Güell: Gaudí's Surrealist Park
The 19-hectare hillside park is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was created between 1900 and 1914. It includes 12 acres of landscaped gardens featuring surrealist architectural elements created by Antoni Gaudí.
You will need to get tickets to visit the Parc Güell. This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Barcelona. It is highly recommended to arrive early in the morning to avoid large crowds. Guided tours are also available.

To drive an RV in Spain you will need to apply for an international driving permit in addition to your US driver’s license. You will also need to be aged 25 or over. Make sure to check for local speed limits and road regulations before renting an RV in Spain as speed limits and road regulations differ to those in the America. You can stay in Spain for up to 90 days without needing to apply for a visa.
The price of camping grounds in and around Barcelona can vary depending on the location and facilities. The average cost is around $20.00 to $50.00 per night, but it’s always best to check before booking because some camping grounds are only open during the high season.
Getting a tourist pass in Barcelona is a good idea depending on what you want to do on your city trip. The Go City Barcelona Pass is one of the most popular ones, which offers free entry to over 40 attractions and tours. It also allows you to skip the line and gives you a free 1-day Hop on Hop Off Bus Tour ticket.
We would recommend staying in Barcelona for three or four days. This will give you enough time to wander around the city and to visit some museums whilst still having enough time to relax at the beach.
The best time to visit Barcelona is from May – June as the temperatures are cooler during these months. In the height of summer Barcelona can get quite hot and humid.
