Jed’s Campervan Adventure: Exploring Spain, Portugal, and Beyond!

The adventure begins with a ferry ride from Portsmouth to Santander on Spain’s northern coast, allowing Jed to skip the long drive through France and dive straight into the scenic regions of northern Spain. From Santander, he will follow the coastline through the areas of Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia, known for their dramatic cliffs and stunning beaches—perfect for campervanners seeking unspoilt camping spots. After exploring northern Spain, the journey continues south along the Portuguese coast, tracing the shoreline to the southern Algarve, where Jed will check out Portugal’s famous seaside towns, surfing hotspots, and hidden gems, all while gathering insights for future van life adventures.

Our latest adventure isn’t just about soaking up the beautiful landscapes of Spain and Portugal —it’s also a fact-finding mission for all of you who love campervan travel but want to save time on those long drives to Europe. Jed will be taking the trusty yellow T25 Vanagon on a unique journey, looking for ways to make campervan travel in Spain even easier and more accessible.

Finding the Perfect Campervan Storage

One of the main goals of this trip is to explore campervan storage facilities in Spain. Jed will be checking out locations where you can safely store your van, meaning you don’t have to drive all the way from the UK every time you want to explore Spain or Portugal. Instead, you can leave your van in Spain and fly back whenever you have the time, ready to hit the road without the hassle of a long drive.

This idea opens up a whole new way of travelling, making short, spontaneous trips possible whenever you can grab a few days away. And with the rising cost of fuel, it’s a smart and economical way to get more out of your campervan adventures.

Why Seville?

Jed’s first stop for campervan storage is Seville, a city rich in culture and adventure potential. What makes Seville especially exciting is its location—it’s the perfect base for quick trips into Portugal or even across to Morocco. With a secure storage facility in such a prime location, you can easily fly in, pick up your van, and be on your way to explore new destinations with minimal fuss.

Throughout this trip, Jed will be gathering tips and tricks for campervan travel in Spain and Portugal, discovering the best storage options, and finding those off-the-beaten-path spots that every campervan enthusiast dreams of.
