Sleeping in your vehicle or a tent in Spain
- 🚐 In the vehicle: Allowed with real exceptions — depends on the place. Spain — the traffic code never mentions camping, so a stopped motorhome is just parked and one night is lawful anywhere parking is. What crosses the line is deploying it as a dwelling. The exception that catches people: the entire coastal public domain bans parking, camping and driving outright — not just the beach. Acampada is fined from €40 per m² per day.
- ⛺ A tent outside a campsite: No right to roam. A tent on the coastal public domain is banned outright — that strip, not just the beach, is where most people try it. Inland it falls to each autonomous community and municipality, so there is no single national answer to give you. (Ley 22/1988 de Costas art. 33.5 and RD 876/2014 art. 72 (coast); regional law inland)
- 🅿️ 43 rest areas and motorway services within 30 km — the nearest Repsol (4.1 km), Suministros Industriales (6.4 km), EXD (6.6 km).
