Caravaning Alicante is back! And it does so with more strength than ever, thanks to the good moment the sector is going through.

This will be the 32nd edition of one of the top fairs in the caravanning sector in Spain and, without a doubt, the largest in the Levante region.

In this edition you will be able to find a wide range of caravans, motorhomes, campers, mobile homes and products related to caravanning, as well as numerous offers on second-hand vehicles, promotions and rental vehicles.

If you are thinking of joining this more sustainable and free way of travelling, it is an excellent opportunity to deal directly with many suppliers of the most important brands in the market, and thus save time and unnecessary journeys.

As always, you will also find a large accessories section, as well as a range of spare parts, and the latest in energy and technology solutions for our motorhomes.

And of course, at Caravaning Alicante you will also find leisure and tourism, represented by campsites, tourist offices and holiday offers.

Have you had enough? Don’t worry, during your visit you can recharge your batteries in the Food Trucks area and in the on-site cafeteria.

More visitors are expected to attend than in previous editions, as the boom in this sector means that more and more people are attracted to this form of travel and, for many, a new way of life.
