Driving a Campervan around Bilbao

• The AP-8/A-8 Cantabrian motorway skirts Bilbao. A light campervan (vehículo ligero) pays about €13.81 from the Bilbao-area ‘Accesos Oeste’ to Donostia (Zarautz Bar) (IVA included; 2026 tariff table—exact depends on entry/exit).
• The Artxanda tunnels (Ugasko–Txorierri and La Salve–Txorierri links) are tolled; light vehicles pay €1.55 per pass (IVA included; 2026). Height clearance is monitored, so check the posted gálibo before entering.
• The low-emission zone (ZBE) applies to Abando and Indautxu Monday to Friday (working days) from 07:00 to 20:00. Vehicles with 0, ECO or C labels can access/circulate/park freely; B-label vehicles can access until 15 June 2025 (and until 31 December 2029 if entering an authorised public car park). Vehicles A (no label) are restricted except for listed exemptions.
• Morning traffic is typically busiest from 08:00 to 09:30 on the BI-623 and BI-631 roads leading into the city. You can park at Etxebarri or Leioa and take the metro instead.
• The scenic BI-2122 coast road to Getxo and Sopela is narrow with sharp turns, so allow extra time.
• Service areas on the A-8/AP-8 west of the city provide facilities (fuel/food/toilets); water taps and overnight parking availability vary, so check the specific area and local signage.
