About Spain
Choose your region in Spain

Golden sands, sparkling water parks and PortAventura on your doorstep: the Costa Dorada packs Roman history, Mediterranean sunshine and family-friendly beach towns into one easy, sun-soaked camping holiday.

Golden sand, hidden coves and whitewashed villages meet Dalí's surreal world and splash-happy campsites. The Costa Brava is Catalonia at its sunniest, with pools, pine forests and the Mediterranean right on your doorstep.

Sun-drenched beaches, hidden coves, water park pools and Pyrenean peaks: Catalonia fits several holidays into one. Pitch up on the Costa Brava or in the mountains and let the whole family explore.


Sandy beaches, Gaudí's Barcelona a short hop away and mountains rising behind the coast: the Costa Barcelona packs sea, culture and family fun into one sun-soaked camping holiday.

Best time to visit Spain
The Mediterranean is warm enough for swimming from July to September: on the Catalan coast, days reach about 28°C in July and 29°C in August, with the sea at 23°C in July and 25°C in August. September stays lovely at 26°C by day and 23°C in the sea. May (22°C) and June (26°C) are pleasant, quieter months; choose a heated pool, for example at Homair – Camping Playa Tropicana or Camping Wecamp Pirineos. In the north, San Sebastián averages about 22°C from June to August, and the Bilbao sea reaches 21.5°C in August. Around Valencia, summer days reach about 30°C, and the sea 26°C in August. School holidays book up early, so reserve in good time.
Practical tips
- Driving: Utrecht to Barcelona is about 1,500 km, roughly 13 hours of driving, so most families enjoy a relaxed two-day trip with an overnight stop.
- Route: The French A9 ends at the Spanish border at Le Perthus and joins the AP-7; for San Sebastián, enter Spain at Irun and follow the AP-8.
- Tolls: The AP-7 is the coastal toll motorway with the toll-free A-7 running alongside; the AP-8 from Irun to Bilbao is a toll road, and the A-8 beyond Bilbao is toll-free.
- Flights to Barcelona: Flying time from Schiphol is 2 hours 16 minutes, with KLM, Transavia and Vueling; Transavia also flies from Eindhoven and Rotterdam.
- Other airports: Girona for the Costa Brava (Ryanair from Eindhoven, Transavia from Amsterdam), Reus for the Costa Dorada and Alicante for the Costa Blanca (Ryanair from Eindhoven).
- Food to try: Paella, tapas, chorizo and sangria, plus traditional Catalan dishes in Girona.
- Booking: Campsites are often fully booked well in advance for holidays and public holidays, so reserve early.
Our tip: choose your region by who is coming along. With toddlers and primary-school children, we love Cambrils on the Costa Dorada for its calm, shallow water, and Blanes on the Costa Brava, where Camping La Masia sits 200 metres from S'Abanell beach. For teenagers, Salou is hard to beat: PortAventura World and Ferrari Land are close by, and Camping Resort La Siesta Salou is near the best attraction parks. Couples should look at the Costa Brava, where Girona, Dalí and the GR 92 coastal path fill the days, or at Wecamp San Sebastián for mountain, sea and city in one stay. Want a greener Atlantic holiday? Homair - Camping Playa Joyel in Noja has direct beach access and golden sands. Whatever you choose, book early, as campsites are often fully booked well in advance, and your favourite spot will be waiting for you.
