Camper Van Trend Gains Momentum in Spain and Portugal

In Galicia’s Arousa region, a family led by Almudena switched from traditional hotel holidays to a 15‑day camping trial, prompting them to purchase a caravan for year‑round use. Their experience highlights a growing preference for flexible, off‑grid vacations among Spanish‑speaking families.

Meanwhile, the European market sees high‑end camper vans like the Mercedes‑Benz Clase V Marco priced between €100,000 and €120,000. The model features a 237‑horsepower diesel engine, all‑wheel drive, and a fully equipped interior with kitchen, shower, and sleeping arrangements, positioning it as a premium option for travelers seeking luxury on the road.

Both pieces illustrate an expanding interest in mobile holiday solutions across the Iberian Peninsula, driven by the desire for autonomy and comfort away from conventional accommodation.
