Complete Guide to Motorhome Areas in Asturias: Where to Stay Overnight in Natural Paradise

One of the great advantages of travelling in Asturias by motorhome is that the Principality has one of the most complete networks of service and overnight areas in northern Spain. From the east to the west, passing through the interior of the mountains, there are dozens of municipal, private and camping options that allow you to rest with all the necessary services after a day of riding.

In this guide we present the main areas organized by zones so that you can plan your trip without surprises.

Eastern Zone: From Llanes to Ribadesella

Llanes Area

One of the most popular in all of Asturias. Located at Avenida de la Paz, 45, in the centre of Llanes, it has a maximum stay of 48 hours and is especially well valued for its location: a few minutes’ walk from the medieval historic centre of Llanes, the beaches of Los Cubos and the port. You can only pay by bank card. Parking is not allowed in the urban area outside this area.

Ribadesella, known for the international descent of the Sella and its beaches, has a well-equipped area just outside the town centre. Perfect as a base to explore the eastern beaches and the surroundings of the Picos de Europa on its coastal slope.

Central Zone: Gijón, Oviedo and Avilés

Gijón Area (West)

Located next to the beach, very close to the Port of El Musel, the area of Gijón on Avenida de Portugal is one of the best located in the entire region. It has a direct city bus stop to the city centre, which makes it an excellent option to visit Gijón without worrying about parking in the centre.

Oviedo has a lot to offer: the Asturian pre-Romanesque, the Cathedral, the Old Town and the famous Woody Allen sculpture on Calle Milicias Nacionales.

The Avilés area, in front of the San Agustín hospital, is private and paid. With capacity for 7 people and a maximum stay of 48 hours, it has drinking water and complete emptying.
