Campillos – Classic Cars, Music, and Real Spain in Andalusia
From May 6th to 11th, 2025, my dog Zuky and I stayed in Campillos – a small town in the inland region of Málaga province that turned out to be far more vibrant than expected. The occasion was a motorhome gathering, attended almost exclusively by Spanish campers from across the country. It was refreshing to be surrounded by locals – it gave the event a very different and more authentic feeling.

The weekend brought several highlights: a beautifully organized classic car show where vintage vehicles gleamed in the sun right in the heart of town. And in the evening, there was a lively concert in front of the Ayuntamiento (town hall), with music echoing through the streets well into the night.

Zuky and I made the most of our stay with long walks – sometimes through the surrounding countryside, sometimes through the narrow streets of town. The atmosphere was relaxed, the people friendly and welcoming.

One particular highlight: Campillos provides a free motorhome parking area, complete with waste disposal station, located very close to the town center. A big thank you to Campillos for offering this great service!

Campillos gave me a real taste of Andalusia – no tourist crowds, just honest charm and a strong sense of local community.
