Álava is a perfect province to explore by camper: lush landscapes, quiet roads, charming villages, and nature that invites you to stop and enjoy. From the Ullíbarri-Gamboa reservoir to Salinas de Añana, including the Llanada Alavesa, Valderejo Natural Park, and Vitoria-Gasteiz, there’s plenty to see and experience. And if your van doesn’t have a shower—or you’re just looking for a more comfortable option—here are some handy places to stay clean and fresh on the road.
While Álava doesn’t have a large number of campsites, the ones it does have are well located. Many allow access to showers even if you’re not staying overnight. Just ask at reception to confirm.
Along major roads like the AP-68, N-1 or A-1, you’ll find gas stations with showers. Though they’re mainly for truck drivers, they’re also available for camper travelers.
A practical and budget-friendly option is to use the showers in public sports centers or municipal pools. In many towns across Álava, you can access them with a one-time entry fee.
Especially along the Camino de Santiago, many hostels and albergues will let you use their showers without needing to stay overnight. A polite request is usually all it takes.
