In Catalonia, planning a holiday is becoming harder as accommodation prices rise and popular destinations get busier, according to a report by Regió 7.
That is leading more travellers to consider campervans and motorhomes as an alternative. For some, they offer a way to travel without hotels, apartments or fixed schedules.
The appeal is clear, travellers can move between places at their own pace and spend more time in different parts of Catalonia. For readers following wider travel and cost-of-living coverage, see our news page.
But the lower upfront cost does not always mean a cheaper holiday overall. Fuel, campsite fees and vehicle maintenance can all add to the bill, so the total cost needs checking before booking.
Anyone considering this kind of trip should compare the full cost of a campervan holiday with other options, especially during the busiest travel periods in Catalonia.
