Cartagena, located in the southeast of Spain and washed by the Mediterranean, is the second most populous city in the Region of Murcia. Famous for its large natural harbour and its rich history spanning over two millennia, Cartagena is a benchmark destination both for its cultural heritage and its coastal surroundings.

At Furgocasa Campervans we do not have a physical branch in Cartagena, but our main base in Murcia (Casillas) is only 51 km away (about 45 minutes by car), making access to our high-quality campers convenient and quick. Pick-up at our Murcia base is worthwhile due to its proximity, excellent road links, and our guarantee of professional service and a fleet of vehicles in perfect condition.

Discovering Cartagena by Motorhome

The city of Cartagena offers numerous attractions for motorhome travellers. Its historic centre, full of remains from Punic, Roman and Byzantine civilizations, invites you to get lost among monuments such as the Roman Theatre, the Forum, the Punic Wall, or take the panoramic lift up to Concepción Castle.

The natural surroundings of Cartagena are also unsurpassed, with beaches and coves in the Calblanque Regional Park, the area of La Manga, and proximity to the Mar Menor. The combination of culture, cuisine, and natural landscapes makes Cartagena and its surroundings a perfect option to explore by camper.

Local regulations and considerations

Overnight stays in a motorhome are permitted in Cartagena as long as no camping activities (setting up tables, awnings, etc.) are carried out outside authorised areas. We recommend always checking the local signage, especially in the city centre and coastal areas, and respecting environmental regulations. Cartagena currently does not have a Low Emission Zone (ZBE) restricting the circulation of camper vehicles, but the rules may change, so it is advisable to get information before every trip.

• Plan overnight stays in authorised areas to avoid fines and guarantee all services.
• In summer months, avoid parking right on the seafront without consulting local regulations or availability, as coastal areas tend to be regulated.
• Cartagena is a city with a lot of heritage to discover on foot; park in quiet areas and access the centre by public transport or bicycle.
