*Around 780 kilometres from the flysch cliffs near San Sebastián along the Cantabrian coast, through the Hermida gorge into the Liébana valley and beneath the limestone walls of the Picos de Europa, then on to the Lagos de Covadonga and along Asturias’ cliff coast to the Ría de Ribadeo.*

## The spirit of the route

Green Spain is called that because it rains here – and because the Atlantic keeps the landscape damp, luminous and pleasantly cool in summer and autumn. From the sliding door you see morning mist lying over a beach at Oyambre, cows at midday on pastures that run right up to the cliffs, and in the evening the limestone spires of the Picos with vultures circling above. The route keeps switching between sea and mountains: fishing harbours with cider houses, gorges where the road presses against the rock, high valleys with cheese caves, and Cabo Peñas, where storm spray flies over the lighthouse. You drive slowly and plan the day around tides, weather and bus timetables. Motorhomes are welcome if they know the rules: many coastal car parks are closed to them, overnighting is banned in the Picos – but campsites and áreas form a dense network.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: San Sebastián to Bilbao (approx. 130 km)

- **The drive:** From San Sebastián take the N-634 and the coastal roads via Zarautz, Getaria and Zumaia, then on via Deba, Ondarroa and Lekeitio (some narrow village streets), then to Gernika and along BI roads to the coast at Bakio; finally into Bilbao. The coastal roads are toll-free but winding and slow (around 3 to 3.5 hours of pure driving time); the AP-8 saves a lot of time but charges tolls. Short climbs and narrow village streets, heavy traffic in summer.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Zumaia: the flysch at Itzurun beach – rock layers spanning 60 million years in the cliff face, visible from the beach at low tide; part of the Basque Coast Geopark.
  - Getaria: fishing harbour with grill terraces (turbot), the museum of fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga and txakoli vineyards above the sea.
  - Gaztelugatxe near Bakio: a rocky island with a hermitage and a long staircase; during periods of visitor control, access is only possible with a free pre-booked time slot (at times, for example at the end of September 2026, no booking is needed) – check the access calendar and booking page of the province of Bizkaia beforehand.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camping Igara in San Sebastián (city outskirts, bus into town) is the most practical base before the stage; alternatives on the coast are Camping Talaimendi near Zarautz and Camping Zumaia. Bilbao itself has a municipal motorhome site (Área de autocaravanas Bilbao) on the edge of the city; quieter are Camping Sopelana in Sopela or Camping Gorliz on the coast – both with public transport to Bilbao (metro/bus; check connections beforehand). Check opening seasons beforehand.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the Basque Country, overnighting in motorhomes outside campsites and designated sites is heavily restricted; many coastal car parks (Zarautz, Getaria, Sopela, Bakio) are signed or closed with height barriers (usually around 2 m). Wild camping with chairs and awning is not allowed anywhere. At Gaztelugatxe and in nature parks, overnighting in car parks is banned.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Central Bilbao is a low-emission zone (Zona de Bajas Emisiones, Abando district, Mon–Fri 7am–8pm, vehicles without a DGT environmental label or with a B label excluded); foreign vehicles must register via the city’s app. Visit the Guggenheim and the Casco Viejo by metro from the campsite rather than by camper. If a Gaztelugatxe booking is required, take a printout with you: mobile signal at the car park is weak.

### Stage 2: Bilbao to Santander (approx. 110 km)

- **The drive:** On the A-8 (Autovía del Cantábrico) westwards via Muskiz and across the border into Cantabria, then via Castro Urdiales and Laredo to Santander. Toll-free, dual carriageway, with long tunnels and bridges; coastal towns such as Castro and Laredo are worth a detour on the local road. Pure driving time a good 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Portugalete near Bilbao: the Puente Colgante (Vizcaya Bridge, UNESCO World Heritage Site), a transporter bridge that has crossed the Nervión since 1893.
  - Castro Urdiales: the Gothic church of Santa María de la Asunción, a lighthouse on the castle hill and the harbour; Laredo: the long La Salvé beach at the foot of the old town.
  - Santander: the La Magdalena peninsula with its palace and beaches, the El Sardinero promenade and the Centro Botín on the harbour.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Santander the campsites Cabo Mayor and Virgen del Mar lie on the coast west of the city; the city itself designates municipal áreas for motorhomes (check current addresses and fees at turismo.santander.es). For a second overnight near Castro Urdiales there is Camping Playa Arenillas (Islares). Check opening times beforehand.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In 2026 Cantabria rewrote its rules for campsites and motorhome sites (Decreto 35/2026): a properly parked motorhome with nothing extended – no chairs, tables, awning or levelling legs – is no longer considered camping. Local bans still apply, however: in Santander and the coastal towns overnight bans and height barriers are common, and in the Marismas de Santoña, Victoria y Joyel nature park overnighting outside sites is taboo.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Santander is densely built and car parks have height limits: leave the camper at the campsite and take the bus (lines towards Sardinero/Centro). For fuel: the A-8 has plenty of filling stations; diesel in Spain is usually cheaper at supermarket stations away from the motorway. Empty grey water and the cassette before moving on, at the campsite or at a station in Santander.

### Stage 3: Santander to San Vicente de la Barquera via Santillana del Mar and Comillas (approx. 75 km)

- **The drive:** On the A-67 and local roads westwards; at Santillana del Mar head for the car park on the edge of the village, then on via Cóbreces to the coast at Comillas and past Oyambre to San Vicente de la Barquera. Mostly wide roads, but in the coastal villages 30 km/h limits and narrow lanes; in the old towns motorhomes can only be parked at the edge-of-town car parks. Two to 2.5 hours including sightseeing.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Santillana del Mar: medieval lanes with the collegiate church (Colegiata de Santa Juliana) and stone houses; nearby the Museo de Altamira with the replica of the cave (Neocueva) – the original is only accessible in rare exceptions.
  - Comillas: “El Capricho” by Antoni Gaudí, the Palacio de Sobrellano and the cemetery with the Modernista angel above the bay.
  - Oyambre Nature Park and San Vicente de la Barquera: wide dune beaches and a town with castle, church and a long bridge over the ría, with the Picos behind.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Near Santillana, Camping Santillana and Camping Altamira offer the shortest way to the old town; for motorhomes without a tent there is also the Área de Autocaravanas Santillana del Mar (operator areaspla.com; check status and fees beforehand). On the coast near Comillas are Camping Comillas and Camping El Helguero (Ruiloba), and at the Oyambre Nature Park Camping Oyambre and Camping El Rosal. Book early in August.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Between Comillas and San Vicente the coastal strip (Oyambre) is a nature park and heavily monitored: overnighting in vehicles is usually banned in beach car parks, so watch for signs and height barriers. The northern Spanish coast is also subject to the Coastal Law (Ley de Costas); fines for camping on the beach start in the three-figure range.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Reserve tickets for the Altamira Neocueva in advance; in summer the museum sells out quickly. Santillana is filled with coaches in the morning – come before 10am or after 5pm. In Comillas use the motorhome car park on the edge of town and walk to the Capricho; do not drive into the narrow old town.

### Stage 4: San Vicente de la Barquera to Potes (with Fuente Dé) (approx. 75 km)

- **The drive:** On the A-8 to Unquera, then on the N-621 through the Hermida gorge (Desfiladero de la Hermida, about 20 km) to Potes. The road follows the Río Deva between vertical limestone walls, with short tunnels, tight bends and passing places; closures due to rockfall happen – check traffic conditions before setting off. From Potes the CA-185 leads in about 25 minutes to Fuente Dé (23 km), a well-built dead-end road.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Desfiladero de la Hermida: the gorge as the gateway to the Picos, with a view of the first summits.
  - Potes: Torre del Infantado, old-town lanes with orujo and cocido lebaniego, plus the monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana near Camaleño.
  - Fuente Dé: the cable car (Teleférico) climbs 750 m to the Mirador del Cable at around 1,800 m; walks in the central massif of the Picos above.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Potes the Área de Autocaravanas Potes and the VanVenture Camper Park offer pitches for motorhomes, plus the campsites La Viorna, San Pelayo and La Isla Picos de Europa near the town. Camping Fuente Dé lies in the upper valley near the cable-car station. Check all details on facilities, costs and opening times beforehand.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the Picos de Europa National Park, overnighting in vehicles outside campsites is banned, even in signed car parks such as at Fuente Dé; fines are heavy, with specialist portals quoting around 600 to 1,500 euros (not officially confirmed). Only bivouacking on foot above 1,600 m is allowed, with strict conditions (tent pitched no earlier than one hour before sunset and taken down one hour after sunrise), not with vehicles.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The Fuente Dé cable car is run by Cantur; check tickets, timetable and waiting times on the operator’s site beforehand – in August and on public holidays long queues form, so an early ticket in the morning is advisable. After the excursion, fill up in Potes or Unquera; in the mountain valleys long stretches without a filling station follow.

### Stage 5: Potes to Cangas de Onís (approx. 85 km)

- **The drive:** Back through the Hermida gorge to Panes (N-621), then on the AS-114 through the Cabrales valley via Arenas de Cabrales to Cangas de Onís. Tight bends and village streets, but passable throughout by motorhome; the turn-off to Poncebos and Sotres (AS-264) is narrow with hairpins and unsuitable for large motorhomes. About 2 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Arenas de Cabrales: cheese cellars with Cabrales blue cheese, which farmers mature in caves; a starting point for the cheese route in the valley.
  - Poncebos with the start of the trail through the Cares gorge and the funicular to Bulnes – the access road is narrow, and the car park is small and fills early in summer.
  - Cangas de Onís: the “Roman Bridge” with the cross above the Río Sella and the Santa Cruz chapel (a chapel above a dolmen).
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camping Covadonga lies on the road from Cangas towards Covadonga, a few kilometres from the centre and the bus station; it is the best base for the bus to the Lagos. Further campsites lie along the Sella river and in the surroundings (for instance near Arriondas and Ribadesella). Booking is advisable in high summer; check facilities and season beforehand.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the national park and in Asturias the rule is: overnighting in motorhomes outside campsites and áreas is not provided for; checks by the Guardia Civil and park rangers are frequent in summer, especially at hiking car parks. Overnighting on the Cares and Sotres approaches is ruled out.
- **Insider tip for campers:** It is better to leave your motorhome in Cangas or at the campsite and go to Poncebos and Sotres by taxi or shuttle bus (in summer from Arenas de Cabrales; check the timetable beforehand), not in your own vehicle. On Cabrales cheese: buy it directly from small producers and keep it packed in the fridge – the smell spreads through the whole camper. Cangas has a small weekly market on Sundays (check the date).

### Stage 6: Cangas de Onís to Oviedo (with Covadonga and the Lagos) (approx. 95 km)

- **The drive:** From Cangas first on the AS-262 to Covadonga (12 km, wide), then back and on the AS-114 and the A-64 via Arriondas and Pola de Siero to Oviedo. The road to the Lagos (CO-4) is narrow, steep and full of hairpins, and is closed to private traffic in season. In total about 2 hours plus time for the bus to the Lagos.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Covadonga: the cave with the statue of the Virgin, the basilica and the waterfall at the foot of the rock wall – a symbol of the Reconquista.
  - Lagos de Enol and de la Ercina, at the top of the CO-4 with a view of the Picos; plus the Miradores de la Reina and del Príncipe on the way.
  - Oviedo: the Gothic cathedral of San Salvador, the old town with cider houses on Calle Gascona and the pre-Romanesque churches of Santa María del Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo (UNESCO World Heritage Site).
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Oviedo has no central motorhome site; practical is the Área de Autocaravanas de Noreña (about 15 km east, water and disposal; check status) or the áreas near Avilés (Área de Corvera, Área de Avilés) on the route of the next stage. Alternatively stay at Camping Covadonga in Cangas and drive to Oviedo only the next morning.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Lagos de Covadonga: overnighting in the car parks and along the road is banned (national park). For Oviedo too: city streets are for parking only, not camping; height limits and short maximum stays apply in car parks. According to the operators, vehicles of 5 m or more in length and motorhomes may not use the CO-4 – for motorhomes only the bus remains.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Access to the Lagos in 2026 (national park access plan): private vehicles are barred on the regulated days, including weekends in May and daily from 1 June to 18 October (with a few exception days in the plan), plus Easter and public holidays. You take the bus from the Cangas de Onís bus station (car park P1; adults 9 euros, children 3.50 euros, only up to the sanctuary 1.55 euros; first departure 8am, last uphill bus 5.45pm and last downhill bus 8.50pm until 30 September, in October last uphill bus 4pm and last downhill bus 7.05pm). There are five paid car parks (flat rate around 3 euros per day). Check prices, times and the current situation on the official sites of Turismo Asturias and the national park beforehand.

### Stage 7: Oviedo to Cudillero via Avilés and Cabo Peñas (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** From Oviedo on the autovía to Avilés, then on local roads north to Cabo Peñas (Gozón), back and via the A-8 and Muros de Nalón to Cudillero. Mostly well built, but the coastal lanes are narrow and busy in summer; the approach to Cabo Peñas has bends and many cyclists. About 2.5 hours with stops.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Cabo Peñas: Asturias’ northernmost cape with a lighthouse, cliffs and a trail along the clifftops; a powerful spectacle in a storm.
  - Avilés: the Centro Niemeyer on the bank of the ría, the old town with arcades and the Galiana lanes.
  - Cudillero: the fishing village that wraps around the harbour like an amphitheatre, with colourful houses and fish restaurants.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** At Cabo Peñas, Camping Perlora (Carreño) and Camping Bañugues (Gozón) offer pitches near the coast; the áreas of Candás and Salinas serve as motorhome alternatives (check status and fees beforehand). Near Cudillero are Camping San Pedro and Camping Las Gaviotas, plus further sites west of the town. Book in high summer.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** At Cabo Peñas and in the coastal landscape of the protected area, overnighting in vehicles is banned; the car parks at the lighthouse are for daytime parking. In Cudillero overnighting at the harbour is not allowed; the municipality directs motorhomes to campsites and áreas. Some coastal car parks are closed to motorhomes with barriers or signs.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The approach into the centre of Cudillero is narrow and unsuitable for motorhomes: park on the edge of town and walk down to the harbour (about 10 minutes). A stop in Avilés is worthwhile for shopping: large supermarkets with car parks without height limits. A narrow access road leads to Playa del Silencio west of Cudillero – not really for a camper.

### Stage 8: Cudillero to Ribadeo via Luarca (approx. 105 km)

- **The drive:** On the A-8 (toll-free) westwards via Luarca and Navia to the Ría del Eo and across the bridge to Ribadeo in Galicia. Dual carriageway with tunnels and viaducts, plus detours to the coast at Luarca. Pure driving time just under 1.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Luarca: the “white town” on the river with its harbour, lighthouse chapel and cemetery on the hill above the sea.
  - Castropol and the Ría del Eo: the small town at the river mouth, with a view across to Ribadeo.
  - Praia das Catedrais near Ribadeo: rock arches on the cliff coast, walkable only at low tide.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Ribadeo there is Camping Ribadeo, plus Camping Playa de Peñarronda near Castropol and Rinlo Costa in the fishing village of Rinlo. On the Asturian side there is the Área de Playa Grande near Castropol (motorhome site; check status). In Luarca the Área de Autocaravanas de Luarca and Camping Otur are options.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Galicia largely bans free camping outside sites, and the Praia das Catedrais and the surrounding cliffs are a natural monument with access rules. Overnighting is not provided for in coastal car parks in Ribadeo; on the Asturian side Asturias’ rules continue to apply (only properly parked, no camping).
- **Insider tip for campers:** For the Praia das Catedrais a free advance booking from the Xunta de Galicia is required at Easter and from 1 July to 30 September (as of 2026); in addition: only at low tide, check the tide table and be back well before the flood. Check the current rules on the Xunta’s site. Park at the Augas Santas car park at the access to the beach, not on the road.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- Spain: sleeping in a properly parked vehicle is allowed under the road traffic rules – as long as nothing is extended (no legs, awning, tables or chairs, no grey water). Anything beyond that is camping and permitted only on approved sites. Regional rules, municipal by-laws and signs take precedence.
- Cantabria: Decree 35/2026 (May 2026) on campsites and motorhome áreas makes clear that a parked motorhome on a permitted traffic area does not count as camping as long as traffic rules are observed. Coastal municipalities can nevertheless impose bans and time limits. A roof tent or extended elements count as camping.
- Asturias: Decree 61/2022 regulates campsites and motorhome áreas; overnighting outside approved sites is handled strictly, especially in summer and around the coast and nature parks. Coastal and hiking car parks are often signed or secured with height barriers.
- Picos de Europa National Park: free camping and overnighting in vehicles are banned, even in car parks; only bivouacking on foot above 1,600 m is allowed, with strict conditions. Fines are heavy; specialist portals quote around 600 to 1,500 euros (not officially confirmed). The Coastal Law and nature parks (Oyambre, Marismas de Santoña, Cabo Peñas) bring additional restrictions.
- Useful aids: park4night, Campercontact and the tourist-office sites (turismoasturias.es, turismodecantabria.com, turismo.santander.es); user information on áreas is often out of date – check the situation on the spot.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Áreas de autocaravanas exist in most larger towns and on the coast; water and disposal there are often available for a fee or with coins. At campsites disposal is usually included in the price, often for guests only.
- Release grey water only at the station, empty the chemical toilet only at designated disposal points (cassette emptying, “vaciado de aguas negras”); not into drains or public toilets. Tap water in Spain is mostly drinkable; at fountains watch for “no potable” signs.
- Gas: Spain mainly uses orange 12.5 kg butane bottles (Repsol, Cepsa, Disa), which are exchanged only against a deposit for Spanish contract customers – German bottles you bring with you are not exchanged. Camping Gaz bottles are sold in campsite shops and DIY stores. To be safe, carry a refillable bottle or a filling system with the right adapter.
- LPG (autogas, “GLP”) is available at several filling stations in the cities and along the A-8; stations that can fill a motorhome tank are thinner on the ground in the north than in Catalonia – check locations in an LPG app beforehand. Bring adapters (dish, bayonet, ACME, Euro).

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Speed limits: for cars and motorhomes up to 3.5 t the limit outside built-up areas is 90 km/h and on autovías and autopistas 120 km/h; in built-up areas usually 50, on streets with one lane per direction 30, on single-level streets 20 km/h. For motorhomes over 3.5 t and combinations the limits are 80 km/h outside built-up areas and 90 km/h on motorways. Watch local signs and speed cameras.
- V16 warning light: since 1 January 2026 the connected V16 light is the only permitted warning signal after a breakdown or accident for vehicles registered in Spain; warning triangles are no longer valid for them and the fine is 80 euros. According to the DGT the obligation does not apply to foreign-registered vehicles: they comply with the warning triangles of their home country. Carrying an approved V16 as well is optional; keep the triangles and a high-visibility vest on board.
- Tolls: the AP-8 in the Basque Country (Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia) is a toll road, with tariffs raised on 1 January 2026; the Autovía del Cantábrico (A-8) in Cantabria and Asturias is toll-free. Check the vehicle class for motorhomes on the operators’ sites beforehand (Bidegi, Bizkaia); pay by card or VIA-T.
- Low-emission zones (ZBE): in Bilbao the Zona de Bajas Emisiones applies in the Abando district (Mon–Fri 7am–8pm, vehicles without a label or with a B label excluded, fine of 200 euros); foreign vehicles register via an app. San Sebastián has also had a ZBE in the centre since 2025 (all day, vehicles without a label excluded, fine of 200 euros); Santander and Oviedo have introduced ZBEs whose enforcement is starting gradually – check the current status beforehand.
- Dimensions: 4 m height, 2.55 m width and 12 m length are permitted; height barriers at coastal car parks are often around 2 m, in multi-storey car parks frequently 2.1 to 2.2 m. The CO-4 to the Lagos is closed to motorhomes and to vehicles of 5 m or more in length.
- Alcohol: 0.5 g/l blood alcohol (0.25 mg/l breath), 0.3 g/l for novice drivers. Phones at the wheel only with a hands-free kit, fine of 200 euros and points. Rear racks: number plate and rear lights must not be obscured; for overhanging loads the V-20 plate is required – check before the trip. Winter tyres are not compulsory generally; in the mountains in winter carry snow chains.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- Warning triangles and a high-visibility vest; optionally a V16 light approved and connected in Spain (compulsory for Spanish-registered vehicles since 1 January 2026, not for foreign ones).
- Rain jacket and waterproof hiking boots: in Green Spain rain is possible even in summer, and the paths to the Lagos and in the Cares valley are often wet.
- Printed bookings (depending on the date Gaztelugatxe, Altamira, Praia das Catedrais) with time slot – mobile signal in car parks and gorges is weak.
- Adapters for gas bottles and LPG connections (dish, bayonet, ACME, Euro), since Spanish bottles and connections differ from German ones.
- Small change and coins for áreas, car parks at the Lagos and water: many machines do not take cards.
- Binoculars: griffon and bearded vultures circle above the Picos, and on the coast seabirds and, with luck, dolphins show up from Cabo Peñas.

_As of 2026-09. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
