If you’re dreaming of a quick adventure, nothing beats a weekend on the road. For me, it’s simple: with a motorhome rental from Adventure Campers, I pack my bags in no time and hit the road from Valencia with total freedom. We’re the number-one company in Valencia, Madrid, and Barcelona, and it shows in how easy it is to pick up the camper, start the engine, and enjoy. Today I’m sharing my favorite getaways for 48 hours of pure disconnection, with route ideas, tasty stops, and tips to help you enjoy your motorhome like a pro.
Why Choose a Motorhome Rental with Adventure Campers (Valencia)?
I love it because everything is designed for hassle-free travel: inspected vehicles, practical equipment for sleeping and cooking, and a super-fast pickup process. Plus, when you start from Valencia, you can be by the sea, in the mountains, or surrounded by vineyards in under an hour. If another city works better for you, remember that we also operate in Madrid and Barcelona, with the same attention to detail. All in all, renting a motorhome with Adventure Campers is the most comfortable and fun way to make the most of a weekend.
5 Weekend Motorhome Getaways from Valencia
1) Albufera & El Saler: Picture-Perfect Sunsets and Soulful Rice
A perfect express plan just 20–30 minutes from Valencia. I usually start with a walk through the rice fields and end the day watching the sunset at Gola de Pujol. In the morning, head to El Saler or Devesa Beach for a barefoot stroll and, of course, enjoy paella at a traditional restaurant. For overnight stays, choose motorhome-friendly areas and campsites—they let you empty tanks, refill water, and rest peacefully. Ideal if you’re new to motorhome rentals and want a smooth, beautiful, and delicious first getaway.
2) Montanejos & Alto Mijares: Hot Springs and Mountains
In about 1 hour 30 minutes, you’ll be in Montanejos. I always bring a swimsuit, no matter the season: the waters of the Mijares River stay pleasantly warm at the famous Fuente de los Baños. Add a hiking route (there are spectacular viewpoints) and dinner featuring local products. To spend the night, look for a campsite or motorhome area near the village. A perfect escape if you love nature with a natural “spa” twist and the feeling of waking up among mountains.
3) Peñíscola & the Costa del Azahar: Castle, Beach, and Cinema Vibes
About 2 hours away, Peñíscola has it all: a movie-worthy old town crowned by Papa Luna’s castle, white alleyways, coves, and long seaside promenades. I like mixing cultural visits with beach time and, if I’m feeling active, a ride along the Benicàssim–Oropesa Greenway. You’ll find several campsites and motorhome areas in nearby towns. It’s the ideal route if you want to enjoy the Mediterranean in panoramic mode without sacrificing comfort.
4) Sierra de Espadán: Cork Oak Forests and Charming Villages
Roughly 1 hour from Valencia, this mountain range is my green refuge. Villages like Aín, Almedíjar, or Eslida smell of baked goods and olive oil, and the trails wind through cork oak forests—with perfect shade for summer. I love stopping to buy local products and preparing a “zero-kilometer” dinner in the motorhome. There are municipal areas and campsites perfect for staying overnight. Pure nature, silence, and that authentic travel feeling that hooks you in.
5) Utiel-Requena & Hoces del Cabriel: Wine, Adventure, and Starry Skies
In less than 1 hour 15 minutes, you can enjoy a plan that mixes wine tourism with adrenaline. In the morning: winery visit and Requena’s famous cured meats. In the afternoon: gentle rafting or hiking in the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park. I always save a moment here to take in the night sky—light pollution is low, and the stars are spectacular. For overnight stays, choose interior motorhome areas or campsites with good facilities. A very complete weekend route.
Quick Tips for Your First Adventure
- Plan your overnight stops: Find areas and campsites in advance. You’ll avoid extra driving and arrive in time for sunset.
- Pack the essentials: Comfortable clothes, headlamp or flashlight, walking shoes, a basic first-aid kit, and a bag to sort waste.
- Drive calmly: Remember the vehicle’s height, keep extra distance, and use engine braking on descents.
- Respect nature: Don’t camp where it’s not allowed and leave every place better than you found it.
- Gourmet on wheels: Bring basics (oil, salt, coffee) and buy local products at your destination. They taste better and support local businesses.
When to Book and How to Make the Most of Your Weekend
If you’re planning a long weekend or high season, I book ahead to secure the model I want. Leaving on Friday afternoon and returning late Sunday gives you enough time to avoid rushing. With Adventure Campers, you can choose vehicles for couples, families, or friends, and add extras depending on your plan.
