The autumn holiday periods continue to offer opportunities for outdoor getaways once the height of summer is over. According to data from Pitchup.com, the leading platform for outdoor accommodation bookings, bookings for arrivals between 9 and 12 October rose by 35 per cent compared with the same period in 2025. Furthermore, these four days accounted for 26 per cent of all bookings made during October – approximately one in four.
This growth was also seen during the following autumn holiday period. Bookings for arrivals between 30 October and 2 November, coinciding with All Saints’ Day weekend, rose by 28% compared with the same period the previous year. Andalusia, Catalonia and the Valencian Community occupy the top three positions among the regions with the most bookings during the two periods analysed. All three regions also offer options for enjoying outdoor tourism all year round, such as Camping El Sur in Ronda; Camping Esponellà in Girona; and Camping La Escalada in Gandía. All are situated in areas linked to activities such as cycling, hiking and via ferrata, broadening the range of options for enjoying outdoor tourism beyond the summer months.
