Road Genius compares campervan rentals from many trusted suppliers in Spain. Málaga Airport (AGP) is the main pick-up point on the Costa del Sol, with fast motorway connections to Granada, Seville and the Algarve. The region has mild winters, long beaches and quick access to mountain roads, so plan your route to include both sea and mountain areas.
| Season | Average High Temperature (°C / °F) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | 17°C / 63°F | Quiet city visits and hiking, but sea is cold |
| Spring (Mar–May) | 22°C / 72°F | Best combination of mild weather and open campsites |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | 30°C / 86°F | Beach season but crowded and hot; book in advance |
| Autumn (Sep–Nov) | 24°C / 75°F | Warm sea, lower prices, some heavy rain |
Motorways have 120 km/h (75 mph) speed limits. Rural two-lane roads have 90 km/h (55 mph) limits.
The AP-7 is a toll road that runs parallel to the free A-7 motorway. Pay by card at toll booths or use the Telepeaje electronic tag if your rental vehicle has one.
Blue curb markings indicate Zona Azul paid parking areas. Parking meters operate 09:00-14:00 and 17:00-20:00 on weekdays. Parking is free overnight.
