What You Need Before Leaving
If you’re thinking about trying this travel style, consider an alquiler de autocaravanas en Madrid (motorhome rental in Madrid). Many people start their route from the capital, head to Cantabria or directly to Asturias, enjoying the journey slowly.
Traveling by camper lets you be spontaneous, but it’s still important to prepare: rain gear, power banks, offline apps, and a good attitude.
The Secret Spot We Promised: Mexota Beach
In western Asturias, near Tapia de Casariego, lies one of the most spectacular and least known beaches. Mexota is small, with a massive split rock in the middle of the sea. No services, but nearby you can sleep peacefully in your motorhome. The road is narrow, but worth it. This is the kind of place you’ll remember forever.
