Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Basque Country

Basque Country — a region worth exploring

The Basque Country spans just 7,234 square kilometres yet packs in three distinct provinces — Álava, Biscay and Gipuzkoa — each with its own landscape and character. From the surf beaches of Mundaka to the vineyards of Rioja Alavesa, the region rewards slow travel like few others in Spain. Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum draws visitors from around the world, while the old town of Vitoria-Gasteiz, European Green Capital in 2012, offers leafy plazas and a beautifully preserved medieval quarter. The coastal drive from San Sebastián to Getaria covers roughly 25 km of dramatic cliffs and fishing villages, and heading inland from Bilbao to Vitoria-Gasteiz is only about 65 km through rolling green valleys. The Basque Country's compact size makes it ideal for campervan travel — you can wake up by the sea and be hiking in the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park by lunchtime. Mountain roads wind through the Urkiola Natural Park, while quieter routes lead to painted forests and rural caseríos. Whether you prefer a fully equipped motorhome or a nimble campervan, Yescapa connects you with local owners across the Basque Country who know the region inside out. Hiring through a peer-to-peer platform means a wider choice of vehicles, personal tips from owners, and the flexibility to start your trip from the city that suits you best.

Best time to visit

The Basque Country enjoys a mild, green climate that suits campervan travel from spring right through to autumn. May and June bring warm days and the Bilbao BBK Live music festival in late June fills the city with energy. September is ideal for food lovers — San Sebastián hosts its Gastronomika congress, celebrating Basque cuisine at its finest. Summer is the busiest period along the coast, so booking your motorhome early on Yescapa gives you the best pick of vehicles from local owners, often at better rates than traditional hire. Autumn colours in the Basque interior are well worth the trip.

Simone and his partner were very nice and friendly, eager to get to know everything about the motorhome. They were very attentive and considerate during the handover, as well as easy to communicate with throughout their trip. They treated my motorhome with care and respect and certainly did their best to return it in the condition in which they received it. It was a pleasure having them as my guests, and I highly recommend them to other owners.
