Salón Internacional del Caravaning 2027 – Barcelona, Spain

What to expect

Salón Internacional del Caravaning 2027 is one of Spain’s major exhibitions dedicated to motorhomes, caravans, campervans, outdoor travel and the wider caravaning lifestyle. Organized by Fira de Barcelona with the support of ASEICAR and GREMCAR, the event brings together vehicle manufacturers, specialist dealers, camping businesses, rental companies, conversion specialists, accessory brands, travel providers and outdoor lifestyle companies. The official event website describes it as a major international exhibition of vehicles, equipment, accessories and experiences connected with caravaning, adventure and outdoor tourism.

Visitors can compare a very wide selection of recreational vehicles in one location, including motorhomes, caravans, campervans and overland vehicles. The exhibition also extends beyond vehicles, with products and services for people who want to improve, customize or begin a caravaning lifestyle.

The current 2027 visitor information highlights 250 leading brands, more than 700 models and approximately 65,000 square metres combining exhibition and leisure activities. The event is designed for both experienced caravaning enthusiasts and people considering their first vehicle or camper conversion.

Major areas of interest include:

• Motorhomes and integrated motorhomes
• Campervans and converted vans
• Caravans and lightweight caravans
• Overland 4×4 vehicles
• Campervan conversion
• Camping and glamping
• Vehicle rental
• Outdoor equipment
• Accessories and spare equipment
• Trailers and tents
• Travel destinations
• Outdoor clothing and sports accessories
• Insurance and specialist services
• Clubs and associations
• Travel agencies
• Tiny and modular accommodation solutions

The exhibition is also designed as an experience rather than a conventional vehicle showroom. Visitors can attend talks, receive advice about choosing a vehicle, discover travel ideas, enjoy food and family activities and learn more about adapting vehicles for different types of travel.

Venue & exhibition site

Salón Internacional del Caravaning 2027 will be held at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via exhibition complex in the Barcelona metropolitan area.

Venue: Fira de Barcelona – Gran Via

Address: Av. Joan Carles I, 64, 08908 L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain

Gran Via is one of the largest exhibition complexes in Spain and provides extensive exhibition halls, visitor services, restaurants, parking facilities and public transport connections. Its location makes it convenient for visitors travelling from central Barcelona, the airport and other parts of Catalonia.

The event’s return to Gran Via is particularly useful for a show of this scale because the venue can accommodate large vehicles and extensive display areas. The previous completed edition used Halls 2 and 3 and occupied approximately 34,000 square metres of net exhibition space.

The final 2027 hall distribution and stand map should be checked through the official organizer once the detailed floor plan is released.

Full event programme

The complete 2027 programme is still developing, but the organizer has already confirmed a combination of vehicle displays, product showcases, talks, experiences, advice areas, food and family activities.

The current official activity structure includes Travelvaning, Caravaning Kids, Gastrovaning and the Advisory Area.

Travelvaning: This space focuses on travel inspiration, routes, destinations and practical advice. Talks and presentations are aimed at people planning road trips, camper adventures and outdoor holidays.

Caravaning Kids: A family-oriented area provides creative activities and games designed for younger visitors, making the event accessible to families travelling with children.

Gastrovaning: The gastronomic area combines the caravaning atmosphere with food-truck style dining and themed food offerings.

Advisory Area: Experts help newcomers understand how to select a vehicle, begin caravaning, prepare a trip and identify equipment suitable for their needs.

The wider exhibition also provides opportunities to investigate camper conversions, rental options, outdoor equipment, camping destinations, accessories, vehicle technology and new models.

The organizer emphasizes that the exhibition is intended to provide everything visitors need to understand and develop their preferred outdoor travel lifestyle.

Key speakers & keynote speakers

The final 2027 speaker list has not yet been published. Rather than assuming individual speakers, visitors should wait for the official programme to confirm the names and organizations represented.

Previous editions have featured industry representatives, experienced travelers, specialist media contributors, technical experts and professionals who can advise visitors on practical caravaning issues.

Travelvaning is the principal content area for talks and presentations. Its themes can include routes, destinations, vehicle conversions, travel preparation, practical experiences and changing trends in outdoor tourism.

The event also benefits from the participation of sector organizations such as ASEICAR and GREMCAR. These organizations represent important parts of Spain’s caravaning industry and provide industry expertise around vehicle sales, manufacturing, distribution and professional activity.

The 2027 speaker programme should be reviewed once published because individual sessions and contributors may change as the event approaches.

Conference sessions & tracks

Unlike a highly technical trade conference, Caravaning is structured around practical visitor experiences, demonstrations, talks and specialist advice.

Travel and destinations: Sessions can focus on road-trip planning, destinations, routes, outdoor tourism and practical travel experiences.

Camper lifestyle: Presentations can introduce visitors to van life, camper travel, vehicle use and ways to make mobile travel more comfortable.

Vehicle conversion: Camperization is an increasingly important part of the exhibition, particularly for visitors interested in transforming vans into flexible travel vehicles.

Vehicle selection: Newcomers can receive guidance on choosing between motorhomes, campervans, caravans and other recreational vehicles.

Technology and comfort: Previous editions have highlighted connected vehicle systems, smart controls, solar equipment, energy management and technologies that make vehicles more comfortable and efficient.

Family travel: Caravaning Kids and family-oriented activities address visitors who want to travel with children.

Outdoor lifestyle: The event also connects vehicles with camping, glamping, outdoor clothing, sports equipment and nature-based tourism.

The programme is therefore useful to both experienced owners looking for upgrades and first-time visitors researching their options.

Session times & schedule

The detailed 2027 schedule has not yet been published.

The organizer’s activity programme indicates that talks, presentations and practical content will be distributed across dedicated spaces rather than being limited to one conventional conference auditorium. Travelvaning is intended as a meeting point for presentations and practical travel information, while other areas provide advice and family activities.

Visitors should check the official online agenda before attending to identify the exact times and locations of:

• Travel talks
• Expert presentations
• Destination sessions
• Practical advice
• Family activities
• Food and leisure activities
• Product demonstrations
• Specialist presentations

Because Caravaning combines shopping, exhibitions and leisure activities, visitors can build either a highly focused vehicle-buying visit or a broader family day around the different activity areas.

Ticket types & registration

The official 2027 ticket pricing has not yet been published in full. Previous editions provide a useful reference for expected admission costs.

The most recent published visitor pricing showed an online adult ticket at approximately $13.48 for a standard weekday admission and approximately $14.60 for a weekend admission, based on previous prices of $12 and $13 respectively and an exchange rate of €1 = $1.123.

No specific 2027 ticket-registration deadline has been announced.

The organizer operates an online ticketing system and encourages visitors to obtain tickets through the official website. The most recent editions also offered online prices that could be lower than buying tickets at the venue.

Networking & business meetings

Caravaning is both a consumer-facing exhibition and an important commercial platform for the caravaning industry.

For visitors, networking happens naturally through direct conversations with manufacturers, dealers, conversion specialists, camping businesses, rental companies and travel providers. The exhibition gives potential buyers an opportunity to compare different suppliers and ask detailed questions before making a purchase.

The organizer’s exhibitor information states that the show connects participating brands with more than 60,000 potential buyers and that 41% of visitors arrive with purchase intentions.

For businesses, this makes Caravaning an important sales and brand-positioning opportunity. Exhibitors can present new products, demonstrate vehicles, distribute information and speak directly with customers.

The official e-catalogue also helps visitors identify participating brands, products, sectors and countries and locate exhibitors within the venue.

Visitors who are seriously considering purchasing a vehicle can make their visit more productive by preparing questions about pricing, specifications, warranties, servicing, financing, rental options and delivery arrangements.

Industry sectors & highlights

Caravaning covers a broad outdoor mobility ecosystem.

Motorhomes: Integrated and other motorhome formats are among the principal attractions, giving visitors the opportunity to compare layouts, sizes, equipment and technologies.

Campervans: Compact campervans are especially important for younger and newer audiences seeking flexibility, lower operating complexity and spontaneous travel.

Caravans: Traditional caravans remain an important part of the exhibition, offering different layouts and levels of equipment for families and experienced caravan users.

Overland 4×4: Specialized off-road and camperized vehicles appeal to visitors interested in adventure travel and remote destinations.

Camper conversion: Conversion products and modular solutions allow owners to transform vans according to their preferred travel style.

Camping and glamping: Campsites, glamping operators and related destinations connect the vehicle exhibition with actual travel opportunities.

Accessories: Solar systems, storage, cooking equipment, safety equipment, comfort products, awnings, technology and other accessories allow owners to upgrade their vehicles.

Outdoor lifestyle: Clothing, sports equipment, tents and travel products broaden the event beyond vehicles.

Rental: Vehicle rental gives visitors an alternative to ownership and can be especially attractive to newcomers who want to experience caravaning before purchasing.

Technology and sustainability: Previous editions highlighted smart systems, connected vehicle functions, improved energy efficiency and growing interest in electric and hybrid technologies.

Event rules & visitor information

Caravaning is designed for a broad audience, including families, experienced caravan users and people completely new to the lifestyle.

Visitors should purchase or register their tickets through the official ticketing system and follow the admission instructions provided by the organizer.

Children: Previous visitor rules allowed children up to 7 years old to enter free, while a separate youth ticket applied to visitors aged 8 to 17. The exact 2027 conditions should be checked when ticket sales open.

Accessibility: Fira de Barcelona provides accessibility services across its venues, although visitors with specific requirements should contact the venue or organizer before travelling.

Vehicles: Visitors arriving with their own motorhome or camper should check the dedicated vehicle-parking arrangements before arrival. A dedicated parking facility for camper and caravan visitors was introduced in the most recent completed edition, but parking access is separate from exhibition admission.

Family facilities: The event includes family-oriented spaces such as Caravaning Kids, making it suitable for visitors attending with children.

How to get there

Fira de Barcelona Gran Via is located at Av. Joan Carles I, 64, in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, immediately within Barcelona’s metropolitan area.

By car: The venue is connected to Barcelona’s major road network and can be reached from several metropolitan motorways and major roads.

By taxi: Barcelona’s yellow-and-black taxis provide direct access to the exhibition complex, with taxi ranks around the venue.

By metro: Fira and Europa/Fira stations provide convenient metro access to the Gran Via exhibition district.

From central Barcelona: Visitors staying in central neighborhoods can use the metro, bus or rail connections to reach the venue.

From the airport: Barcelona-El Prat Airport has public transport connections toward the Gran Via exhibition area, including the L9 South metro route.

Visitors travelling with large equipment or a caravan should plan their route separately from ordinary passenger-car travel and check the organizer’s vehicle-access information.

Public transport & parking

Metro: The Gran Via complex is served by the L9 South metro line, including Fira and Europa/Fira stations. This is one of the most useful connections for visitors travelling between the exhibition venue, Barcelona and the airport.

FGC: Europa/Fira is connected to the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya network, providing additional regional connections.

Bus: Several metropolitan bus routes operate close to the exhibition complex.

Rail: Barcelona-Sants is the city’s major railway station and provides regional, national and international services. Visitors can continue from Sants to the exhibition area using public transportation.

Parking: Gran Via provides substantial parking infrastructure around the exhibition complex. Visitors driving to the show should check current parking conditions and rates before travelling.

Camper and caravan parking: A dedicated parking area for visitors arriving with their own caravan or camper was introduced for the most recent completed edition. The previous price was approximately $28.08 per day, converted from $25 at the same reference exchange rate, and parking did not include exhibition admission.

The availability and price of dedicated caravan parking for 2027 should be confirmed when the official visitor information is updated.

Accommodation areas

Visitors can stay close to Gran Via or in central Barcelona depending on their priorities.

L’Hospitalet de Llobregat: This is one of the most practical choices for visitors prioritizing proximity to the exhibition complex.

Fira Gran Via area: Hotels around the exhibition district minimize commuting and are convenient for visitors planning a full day at the show.

Plaça d’Espanya: This area offers convenient public transport connections and provides access to both the exhibition district and central Barcelona.

Sants: The area around Barcelona-Sants is particularly useful for visitors arriving by train.

Eixample: Eixample offers a large range of hotels, restaurants and shops and remains well connected with the exhibition venue.

Barcelona city centre: Visitors who want to combine the exhibition with sightseeing can stay in central neighborhoods and use public transportation to reach Gran Via.

Exhibitors can also access hotel offers and travel services through Fira de Barcelona’s exhibitor services.

Previous year’s highlights

The most recent completed edition attracted more than 60,000 visitors and brought together 180 exhibiting companies with more than 700 vehicle models. The organizer described it as a leading event in Spain and an important European reference for the caravaning sector.

The visitor profile showed strong commercial interest. More than 70% of surveyed attendees expressed a high interest in purchasing, while 75% of visitors considering a new vehicle preferred motorhomes or campervans rather than traditional caravans.

Campervans and motorhomes were therefore major attractions, while accessories, tiny houses, tents and trailers also generated strong interest.

Technology and sustainability were prominent themes. Exhibitors showcased connected vehicle systems, smartphone-controlled functions, solar technology, energy-saving solutions and increasingly efficient vehicle designs. Camper conversion was another major trend, particularly among younger and first-time users.

The event also expanded its experiential side through Travelvaning, Caravaning Kids, Gastrovaning and advisory services. Almost half of surveyed visitors expressed particular interest in spaces dedicated to guidance and learning.

The most recent edition also introduced dedicated parking for visitors arriving with their own camper or caravan, improving the practical experience for vehicle-owning attendees.
