Autumn is one of the best seasons to discover Spain in a motorhome. With mild temperatures, landscapes covered in ochre tones, and quiet roads, it is the ideal time to travel without rushing and enjoy ultimate freedom on wheels.
Below, we propose five perfect autumn routes to enjoy on the road, each with its own charm and designed for those looking to combine freedom, beautiful scenery, and relaxation.
In northern Extremadura, the Ambroz Valley transforms into an authentic visual spectacle during autumn. The oak, chestnut, and alder forests are dyed in yellows and deep reds, creating a postcard-perfect scenery.
Hervás, with its famous Jewish Quarter, is the ideal starting point to begin the route and enjoy the well-known “Otoñada del Ambroz”, a festival that celebrates the colors of the season with cultural activities, hiking trails, and local gastronomy.
From there, you can continue toward Baños de Montemayor and the Honduras Pass (Puerto de Honduras), which offers breathtaking panoramic views. The motorhome overnight areas in the region are fully equipped, making this route a comfortable and highly recommended experience.
Just an hour away from Barcelona, the Montseny Natural Park offers one of the most beautiful autumn landscapes in the country. Declared a Biosphere Reserve, Montseny combines mountains, rivers, and beech forests that take on golden hues during October and November.
The journey can begin in Viladrau and continue to Santa Fe del Montseny, where the trails cut through forests wrapped in mist and fallen leaves. It is an ideal area for those looking for a short getaway packed with nature.
The motorhome service areas in Seva and Arbúcies allow you to spend the night in peaceful environments, enjoying the silence and the beauty of the landscape. It is a perfect destination for those living in Catalonia who want to disconnect without traveling long distances.
In the Sierra Norte of Guadalajara lies one of the most unique routes in Castile-La Mancha: the route of the Black Villages (Pueblos Negros). Their traditional slate architecture contrasts beautifully with the orange and brown tones of the autumn woods, creating a unique landscape full of character.
Tamajón, Campillo de Ranas, and Majaelrayo are three of the most representative villages, where time seems to have stood still. Traveling by motorhome through this area allows you to discover popular architecture, hike along rural paths, and enjoy the tranquility of a natural environment that is barely crowded.
Tip: It is important to plan your stops well and respect parking regulations to maintain harmony with the rural environment.
The Irati Forest is one of the most stunning autumn destinations in Spain and the second-largest beech-fir forest in Europe. At this time of year, the trees dress in golden and reddish tones, and the paths are blanketed in leaves, creating a magical atmosphere.
Accessing from Ochagavía or Orbaizeta allows you to discover different hiking routes and reach the Irabia reservoir, where the reflections of the forest on the water provide an unforgettable image. It is an ideal place for photography and nature lovers.
If you travel by motorhome, you will find suitable areas to park and rest, always respecting the environment. Keeping your vehicle clean and using biodegradable products for the maintenance of your water tanks is essential to enjoy this experience sustainably.
The Picos de Europa are always a good idea, but in autumn they reach a special kind of beauty. The route to the Lakes of Covadonga is one of the most iconic in northern Spain, featuring landscapes that combine mountains, beech forests, and meadows covered in leaves.
Cangas de Onís, with its famous Roman bridge, is the ideal starting point before heading up to the Sanctuary of Covadonga and finally reaching lakes Enol and Ercina. The drive, although featuring sharp curves, offers spectacular views at every turn.
Be sure to check for access restrictions beforehand, as on certain dates, driving up is restricted and only public transportation is permitted. In the designated motorhome areas, you can enjoy the night surrounded by nature and the peaceful sounds of the mountains.
Before hitting the highway, make sure to properly prepare your motorhome for the trip. Products like the Ambiti Tank Fresh 5L + Ambiti WC Blue 5L Saver Pack will help you keep your tanks clean, prevent bad odors, and enjoy a comfortable, worry-free journey.
Traveling in autumn is the perfect opportunity to discover unique landscapes and enjoy the comfort and freedom that only a motorhome can offer.
