Campervan hire Malaga planning tips
- Autovias are the main motorways in Spain. They are good quality roads that are great for long-distance drives. Country roads and village lanes can offer a more scenic route but can be a tight squeeze. Go slow and be prepared to pull over to allow other vehicles to pass. On narrow mountain roads, yield to drivers travelling uphill.
- It is not recommended to go to Malaga Park after hours when it is dark. Whenever you travel in your motorhome or campervan hire in Spain, always keep your vehicle locked up and don’t pick up strangers. Consider investing in an alarm, and padlock valuables if you are leaving your RV rental for long periods like while camping.
- Get to know the rules surrounding campervan travel, where you can stay, and the associated costs. The Coastal Law expressly prohibits parking on the coast and beaches and it is forbidden for any vehicle to stay in the National Parks between 10 pm and 6 am.
- Free parking is rare in the bigger cities, and finding space will be difficult. However, there are many spots set aside for campers and motorhomes to stay overnight on the outskirts of town called “aires”.
- There are several toll roads close to Málaga. Be prepared to pay these tolls with the appropriate payment method, or plan to avoid them accordingly. Check with your rental provider about your responsibilities with regard to toll payments.
- Planning to go to Gibralfaro Fortress? It’s a long way to reach, which will take almost half a day to climb the stairs.
What to see and do in your Malaga camper hire

Alcazaba
An 11th-century Moorish castle that sits on a hill in the middle of the city, Alcazaba has incredible views of the sparkling sea below. This old fort holds a number of relics from excavations on the site, and beneath it lies the beautiful remains of an old Roman theatre. It’s free to enter, where you can walk past the old stage and sit on the stone steps.
The Castillo
Sitting on a larger hill behind the Alcazaba, the ancient fortress of Castillo de Gibralfaro holds beautiful gardens and an exhibit on the various military forces to have occupied the fort. The Castillo requires a hefty hike, so if you need to choose between the Moorish castles, pick Alcazaba.
