The Costa del Sol. If this name for itself doesn’t say it all, we don’t know what will. Meaning literally “Coast of the Sun”, this is where you’ll find Malaga, one of the oldest cities in the world, and a whole lot of sun!
Rent a campervan or motorhome from Malaga to experience all that the coastal south has to offer. This vibrant city is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain and has a wealth of nature, culture, and cuisine waiting to be explored.
From mountains to wetlands, Malaga is located outside of five stunning national parks and countless regionally recognised nature parks. Drive your campervan or motorhome hire through Andalusía or along the coast , and you're sure to be enchanted by the beauty of Spain.
Drive your campervan rental west to encounter outstanding peaks to bottomless gorges in Sierra de las Nieves National Park. Explore the complex labyrinth of caves, marvel at the brightly painted Sulfur springs, and hike through one of Spain's most diverse ecosystems.
Continue your campervan journey southwes t to encounter Los Alcornocales Natural Park. Although not a national park, the stunning nature of this park is well worth adding to your itinerary. Rugged mountains meet the coastal climates to create whimsical sandstone sculptures, an intricate network of rivers, and lush forests, all perfect for navigating on foot or by bike.
Travel beyond the borders of Andalucía to Monfragüe National Park. Hike, bike, or drive your campervan or motorhome hire through this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve to discover all the interior Iberian landscape. Hike through river-cut valleys and enchanting oak forests. Or, take a tour of a gothic castle said to be the home of a banished princess.
Malaga is located on the sparkling Costa del Sol and is home to numerous hidden coves and bustling beaches, perfect for discovering on your campervan road trip. Relax with the locals at Playa de la Misericordia or getaway to the tranquil coves of Peñón del Cuervo, where unique rock formations emerge from the water.
Don't limit your southern road trip to salt water. Drive your campervan or motorhome rental to the natural pools of El Chorro or hike along the crystal clear Río Chillar. For the more adventurous, walk to the natural pools of the Río Verde to find natural slides that are fun for all ages.
Camping around Malaga is one of the best ways to become intimate with the rich Spanish landscapes; however, it's essential to plan to make sure that you always have a safe place to stay for the night.
While many sites open up their reservations well in advance, some campgrounds operate on a "first come, first served" basis. It's always a good idea to call ahead to ensure that the facility has room and to verify that they can accommodate the size of your campervan or motorhome hire.
