Showers for travelers in Ávila

Where to Shower in Ávila When Traveling by Camper or Motorhome?

Ávila is the perfect province to explore in a camper: ancient city walls, traditional villages, hiking routes, and untouched nature. From the walled city itself to the Sierra de Gredos, and through spots like Arenas de San Pedro, El Barco de Ávila, or Piedrahíta, this corner of Castilla y León has a lot to offer. And as every road traveler knows, finding a good shower along the way is essential. Here are some handy options to stay fresh during your adventure through Ávila.

Campsites with Showers

Ávila has several well-located campsites, especially in the southern part of the province near Gredos. Some allow access to their showers without an overnight stay, so it’s worth asking at reception.

• Campsites in Arenas de San Pedro, Hoyos del Espino, El Arenal, or Navarredonda de Gredos
• Rural campsites in the Tiétar Valley or close to Sierra de Gredos

Gas Stations with Showers

While not too common, some service stations along roads like the N-110, N-502, or A-50 do offer showers—mainly for truck drivers, but often available to camper travelers too. Just ask at the counter.

• Stations near Ávila city, Arévalo, and nearby areas
• Rest stops along intercity routes with accessible restrooms and showers

Sports Centers and Public Pools

A great alternative is to stop at public swimming pools or sports centers, found in many towns across the province. With a day pass, you can access clean locker rooms and showers. Perfect for hot days or after a hike in the mountains.

Hostels, Albergues, and Local Stays

In many mountain villages or along hiking routes—especially near Gredos—some accommodations will let you use their showers even if you’re not staying the night. Just ask kindly.
