On a magical route through the north of Spain in a camper van from east to west:
In these times when travel options are limited, we want to invite all those curious souls with an innate respect for the environment to discover the other side of our peninsula. The magical side.
We start the route through the north of Spain by van along the Costa Brava in Catalonia
If, following the coast, you head north, you can enjoy the Costa Brava to start off peacefully. We recommend certain coves that are not as crowded, such as Cala Cristus , with a cave from which you can start the coastal path. The cove has a direct bridge to the Calonge International Campsite , impeccable service, and a huge campsite.
Continuing along the N-II highway and its coastal secondary roads, you'll find stunning views; the coves surrounding L'Escala are truly breathtaking. If you head inland, you can visit Besalú , a charming medieval village with an overnight parking area at its entrance and a river where you can take a refreshing dip under a bridge.
You can spend the next night in l'Alt Empordà at the Darnius Reservoir, either facing the lake or at the campsite a five-minute walk away, surrounded by trees, with swimming pools, showers, electricity and tennis courts for €15 per night.
Second stage of our route in camper van: Basque Country
Now the magic begins. Get a good rest because we're heading to Zugarramurdi , a route steeped in witchcraft and mystery. You can visit its caves on a hike of about an hour. We always recommend reading about the area before starting these hikes.
What could be more unique than witnessing and interpreting the practice of witches' sabbaths? On Lapiztegia Street, you'll find a free area and restrooms (200m from restaurants and a short walk to the caves). We recommend exploring the community freely; it's well worth a visit, as well as the Azurmendi restaurant in Larrabetzu , in the Leguina neighborhood.
Great Basque food, the best.
Third stage of the northern route of Spain in campervan: Cantabria
We continue towards Cantabria, you can spend the night in the Picos de Europa and visit the Cabarceno reserve in a motorhome or campervan in its Cabarceno motorhome area.
Let's go to Peñarrubia , to Mount Hozarco . You'll love exploring these forests filled with magical creatures from the incredible Cantabrian mythology, beings that represent the best and worst of humankind. Meet Musgosu or the Cantabrian Cyclops—it will ignite your imagination!
We continue to Asturias by motorhome or camper: 4th stage
The direction is clear; we're off, taking little detours through the area, brimming with nature, towards Asturias. Land of greenery and cows. Here, the magic lies in Beyu Pen , a route where the more you walk, the lusher it becomes, and… the more mythological figures you see! Semi-human beings, creatures that embody the fear of the unknown like the Mischievous Devil, or groups of souls that visit the dying like the Güestias.
For sleeping, showering and everything else, without a doubt, Camping La Paz in Llanes is the place to go.
And we get to the west: Galicia in a motorhome or camper van on a 5th stage of this route through the north of Spain by van
We continue on and reach the edge (although you can take a more inland route back, it's all beautiful) with Galicia. In Lugo, we can explore the charming villages and eat like nowhere else.
Later we found other amazing places like the Mougás Pools , along the road between Balona and A Guarda. Here we can experience that magic of the North on the Witches' Routes . As you can imagine, it's not to be missed—a land of witchcraft, covens, the Santa Compaña (a ghostly procession)... Getting there is easy because it intersects with the Camino de Santiago (how about that?). For years, Santiago de Compostela was a "forbidden" place until a local saw a light there that drew him in, and it became known as Campus Stellae (field of stars), hence Compostela. If we continue along the Camino de Santiago and beyond, we'll reach the end of the world and our route: Finisterre. And the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death).
And so far this great route through the north of Spain in a camper van.

The most beautiful route that I traveled through Galicia was the one that goes from Ortigueira to Pontedeume, the coast of Ferrol – Artabra Route – has a large number of immense beaches without crowding, no problem to spend the night, free areas with services, the entrance of the Ria de Ferrol with the two castles on each shore, in Ferrol we were surprised by the movement of the city, the towns Mugardos, Ares, Redes (the Galician Venice ), Pontedeume, a medieval town with a natural park and spectacular beach…….I will repeat this summer, by the way, with very affordable prices and no crowds.
Thank you for your very interesting contribution Ana, a big hug.
