In recent years, traveling in a van, even living in a van, has pierced the trend, being fashionable and has reached the level of way of life, of subculture almost. The pandemic also accelerated and intensified this the need to escape, to connect with nature and to be able to move according to our own rules, Finding our own space.
During this time, roadsurfer, the greatest expert in campers (or camperized vans) in Europe, It has gone hand in hand with this movement and has grown with it, especially in countries like Spain. The increasing demand for this type of vehicle for vacations led them to open in 2021 new rental offices in Seville, Valencia and Bilbao, which were added to those already present in Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga.
Travel, park, continue the road.
"For roadsurfers, the Spanish market is one of the most interesting," he says Susanne Dickhardt, manager and co-founder of this camper rental company. “In many places in Spain you can see the coast and the mountains in the same day and without traveling too far. The possibilities for getaways are endless.”
The road has regained (if it ever lost it) that powerful halo of Infinite freedom. That ability to convince us that the important thing was the journey, not the destination. Although on that trip, we can reach destinations that also mark us forever.
The freedom to travel “with the house in tow”, in a camper with everything you need, allows us to change the route at each intersection. Extending a stay in a town that we fell in love with, shortening it in another that did not give us what we wanted. Curiously, this lack of planning, this freedom is what ends up giving us the best memories, lasting travel memories.
A place for everyone.

Travel in a camper, that is, travel in freedom It also adapts to all kinds of people and needs. That is why it continues to grow, it continues to be in demand. In roadsurfer they know it.

BEAUTIFUL AND SUSTAINABLE ROUTES
Campers are also associated with a new way of traveling more in communion with nature. In the greatest respect for the environment, is a more sustainable way of tourism, in which we tend to avoid large agglomerations, highly exploited points of geography. We want to sleep and camp, legally, in places or spots where you lie down and wake up looking at the sea, in the middle of a mountain and listening to unknown animals.
