The great advantage of traveling by motorhome is that you can combine the coast, mountains, and inland without worrying about hotel reservations. Here are six routes that work especially well in summer, with options for all tastes.

This route allows you to enjoy wide beaches and charming towns. You can start in the city of Cádiz and travel south along the coast, passing through Conil, El Palmar, Zahara de los Atunes, and Bolonia. From there, you can climb toward Vejer de la Frontera and enter the Sierra de Grazalema, visiting towns like Ubrique, El Bosque, or Arcos de la Frontera. If you have more time, add a stop at some of Huelva's beaches, such as Matalascañas or Mazagón.

One of the most stunning areas in southern Europe, with volcanic coves, cliffs, and fishing villages that exude a special charm. Start in the city of Almería and head toward Aguamarga, Las Negras, Isleta del Moro, and San José. There are several areas to sleep near the sea (without wild camping) and many beach bars where you can try fresh fish. It's hot in August, but its location by the sea and its good thermal insulation make it a perfect destination for traveling by camper or motorhome.

Ideal for those looking to escape the heat. It departs from Granada and travels through the villages of the Alpujarra, such as Pampaneira, Bubión, and Capileira, where temperatures are milder even in mid-August. From there, you can climb toward the northern face of the Sierra Nevada and pass through villages like Güéjar Sierra. The journey can continue toward Córdoba on secondary roads, enjoying mountain scenery, reservoirs, and quiet villages. Nights in these areas are generally cooler and more pleasant.

A route designed for those who want to discover the essentials of Andalusian heritage. You can start in Seville, soak up the atmosphere of its historic neighborhoods, and continue to Córdoba to visit the Mosque and stroll through the Jewish Quarter. Then, head to Granada to see the Alhambra and lose yourself in the Albaicín. To finish, you can head to Málaga or one of the beaches in the Axarquía region. This route requires some planning, as inland temperatures are high in August, but getting up early and stopping in shaded areas is quite successful.

A very attractive alternative for those seeking nature and tranquility. From Úbeda, you can enter the Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas Natural Park, full of hiking trails and reservoirs where you can cool off. You can then cross into the Tabernas Desert (Almería) and end in the Alpujarra of Almería or Cabo de Gata itself. These are less crowded areas in summer and perfect for leisurely enjoyment.

The Huelva coast is ideal for a more relaxing getaway. You can visit Isla Cristina, Punta Umbría, Doñana, El Rocío, or the Mazagón Dune Park. There are several campervan areas along the coast and many long beaches where you can spend the day. If you have time, you can cross into Portugal via Ayamonte and explore part of the Algarve. This is perhaps a lesser-known route, but it offers good weather, nature, and less tourist pressure than other August destinations.
