Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Cantabria
Cantabria — a region worth exploring
Cantabria's coastline stretches for over 220 kilometres along northern Spain's Bay of Biscay, where green meadows roll right down to sandy beaches backed by the Cantabrian Mountains. The region packs remarkable variety into a compact area — the drive from the surf town of Suances to the mountain village of Potes is just 95 km, yet it crosses from Atlantic beaches to the foothills of the Picos de Europa. History is woven into the landscape too: the Cave of Altamira near Santillana del Mar holds prehistoric paintings dating back around 36,000 years, while the Cabárceno Nature Park, built in a reclaimed open-pit mine, lets you observe wildlife across 750 hectares of karst terrain. In the capital, Santander, the Palacio de la Magdalena sits on its own peninsula overlooking the bay, and the Sardinero beaches draw visitors year-round. Head west and you will find the medieval tower houses of San Vicente de la Barquera framing views of snow-dusted peaks, roughly 60 km from Santander along the A-8 motorway. Cantabria's mix of coast, countryside and mountains makes it ideal for a campervan trip — every day brings a different landscape without long drives. Through Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome or campervan directly from local owners across Cantabria, choosing from a wide range of vehicles that suit couples, families or groups of friends ready to explore at their own pace.
Best time to visit
Cantabria enjoys a mild oceanic climate, making it a comfortable destination from late spring through to autumn. June to September is the most popular window, with warm days perfect for combining beach stops and mountain walks. If you plan to visit during the Fiestas de Santiago in Santander, held each July, book your campervan early — it is one of the region's biggest celebrations. Autumn brings golden colours to the Saja-Besaya valleys and fewer crowds at coastal campsites, while spring is ideal for wildflower walks in the Picos de Europa. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer model, you can often find competitive rates outside peak months, as local owners set their own prices. Whenever you choose to hire a motorhome in Cantabria, the region rewards flexibility.
The best road trips in Cantabria
To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.

Covering just 90 km, this route winds through Cantabria's lush Pasiega Valleys over 3 to 6 days. Visit the spa town of Puente Viesgo and the traditional cabañas pasiegas near Vega de Pas. Narrow valley roads suit smaller motorhomes, and wild camping spots sit beside quiet rivers.
Cantabrian Coast and Mountains

A 280 km loop across Cantabria combining the beaches of Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera with the mountain scenery of the Saja-Besaya Natural Park. Allow 5 to 8 days to enjoy seafood by the coast and hiking trails inland. Campsites along the route welcome both campervans and motorhomes.
The Grand Cantabrian Circuit
350 km 5–8 days
This 350 km circuit takes in the full breadth of Cantabria over 5 to 8 days. Start in Santander, head west to Santillana del Mar and Cabárceno Nature Park, then south to Reinosa on the Ebro reservoir before looping back via the Asón valley. A versatile route for any campervan.
Cantabria and the Picos de Europa
500 km 7–11 days
Stretching 500 km over 7 to 11 days, this route pairs Cantabria's coastline with the high peaks of the Picos de Europa. Drive from Noja's beaches to Potes, then take the cable car at Fuente Dé for panoramic mountain views. Motorhome service areas are available in Potes and Cangas de Onís.

At 600 km over 8 to 15 days, this extended route links Cantabria with neighbouring Asturias and the Basque Country along the A-8 corridor.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Cantabria
Most motorways in Cantabria are toll-free, including the A-67 linking Santander to the Meseta plateau and sections of the A-8 coastal route. Some stretches of the AP-8 near the Basque border do charge tolls, payable by card or cash at booths. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3,500 kg are 90 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on conventional roads. The A-8 runs along the coast and features well-spaced rest areas with parking suitable for larger vehicles. Mountain roads inland, particularly towards Potes and the Picos de Europa, are narrower — a campervan under 6 metres handles these comfortably.
Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire in Cantabria typically ranges from around €70 to €140 per day depending on the season, vehicle size and equipment. Compact campervans for two tend to sit at the lower end, while larger motorhomes with full kitchens cost more.

On Yescapa, each listing details berths, dimensions and layout so you can match the vehicle to your group.
Yes, many vehicle owners on Yescapa welcome pets on board. You can filter listings specifically for dog-friendly campervans and motorhomes when searching for Cantabria.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Tobia and his motorhome. The vehicle was in perfect condition, practically like new, very clean, comfortable, and extremely well maintained. It was the perfect companion for our summer family trip and gave us everything we needed for a fantastic camping experience. From even before the pick-up, communication with Tobia was excellent. He was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely did his best to solve any issues, provide us with all the information we needed, and take our particular situation into consideration. We really appreciated his kindness and flexibility throughout the whole rental. The motorhome itself was very comfortable to drive and surprisingly fuel-efficient, which was a big plus during our long trip. We spent several weeks travelling with it as a family, and it truly made our summer holiday very special and memorable. I would highly recommend both Tobia and this motorhome to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable and enjoyable camping experience. We would definitely choose this motorhome again for our next trip. Thank you, Tobia, for helping make our family holiday such a great experience!
