Driving an RV around Mallorca

  • Ferries from Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia carry RVs to Palma. Vehicle passengers and foot passengers board separately, so have your ID/passport and booking confirmation ready at the vehicle lane.
  • Mallorca’s main roads are toll-free. The Ma-11 Sóller tunnel has been free since 2017 (check posted height limits before entering).
  • Palma’s Low Emission Zone (ZBE) for downtown entered into force on 22 December 2024. Cameras check licence plates against the DGT database, so foreign-registered vehicles must register for a temporary authorization (up to 6 months) before entering.
  • Mountain routes through the Serra de Tramuntana, especially the Ma-10, are narrow with sharp turns and have occasional signed width restrictions in villages.
  • Gas stations are easy to find on main roads like the Ma-13 but are rarer in the Serra de Tramuntana, so fill up your tank before driving into the mountains.
  • Overnight camping outside authorized areas is prohibited around Palma. A vehicle is treated as "camping" if you deploy items outside the vehicle perimeter (awnings, tables, levelling supports, etc.), and serious offences can be fined up to €1,500—keep everything packed away if you are simply parking.
  • Beach parking lots fill early in July and August. If you want to avoid driving/parking, TIB bus routes 302 and 324 connect Can Picafort and Platja de Muro (check seasonal timetables).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is wild camping in an RV permitted in Spain?

Wild camping (acampada libre) in an RV is generally not permitted in Spain, and camping rules are set by the autonomous communities and municipalities (not traffic law).

Overnight parking is usually allowed where parking is permitted, as long as the vehicle is correctly parked and you don’t set up outside (awnings, tables, levelers) or discharge fluids. Many towns also offer dedicated motorhome stopover areas (“áreas de autocaravanas”), which may be free or low-cost.

In addition, there are plenty of campsites, prices vary by region and season, but many off-peak stays fall in the €13 to €27 per night range.

Do I need a special licence to drive an RV in Spain?

All drivers must have a current and full driver’s licence to rent a vehicle. For foreign licences, an IDP (International Driving Permit) is also required.

Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
