The España Discovery guide: The connection between agri-food producers and travelers in motorhomes and campervans

Sounds exciting! Traveling by motorhome or camper in Europe offers a truly unique experience, giving you the freedom to explore places in a more flexible and sustainable way. Even more tempting is the idea of combining campervan tourism with the discovery of Spain’s rich gastronomic diversity.

Spain is a country full of culture, natural landscapes, and an age-old tradition of quality food production. The España Discovery app not only provides information on parking and overnight stays across the country, but also offers an inspiring way to connect motorhome travelers with local artisans from different industries — encouraging sustainability and promoting responsible tourism.

The sustainable economy is about ensuring the survival of traditional practices through support and sharing, nourished by the relationship between travelers and hosts at every step. It also promotes production methods that live in harmony with the environment, respecting its cycles, characteristics, and needs.

As a motorhome traveler, you can support local businesses by taking part in the experiences your hosts have prepared for you. These may include activities such as guided tours, food and wine tastings, fairs, and much more — combining fun with learning.

If you’d like to show your appreciation after meeting your hosts (within a maximum of 24 hours), you can purchase their products to enjoy with your friends and family, helping to boost the local economy and reinforce the hosts’ work.

The tourism model promoted by España Discovery allows authentic travelers from all over Europe to connect with the richness of rural Spain and its age-old secrets — preserved for generations thanks to the passion of the people and families behind each historic local business. Now it’s your turn to enjoy the experience.

If you’ve already chosen your destination, simply show a copy of the current year’s España Discovery Guide — or the digital ID available in the +INFO section of the app — to your host upon arrival. The guide or digital ID is your identification and passport within this system. And please don’t forget to respect the GOLDEN RULES. We’re waiting for you!
