Almería, located in the region of Andalusia, is an ideal destination for travelers who wish to explore the southeast of Spain on wheels. With an exceptionally dry and sunny climate, pristine Mediterranean beaches, and unique natural landscapes like the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, the province of Almería stands out as one of the best options to tour by motorhome or campervan.

Currently, Furgocasa does not have a physical location in Almería. The main base is located in Murcia (Casillas), about 220 km away (approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes via motorway). This small detour is compensated by the premium quality and equipment of Furgocasa campers, along with personalized service and competitive prices for motorhome rentals. If you are planning a long trip and are closer to Madrid, you can also choose to pick up your campervan in the capital for extended routes.
