More than 6,000 van enthusiasts Volkswagen gather on the Costa Brava

The passion for a hobby drives those who enjoy it to travel to any place where they can be together with other people who share the same hobby, the same passion. In the automotive world it is easy to find meetings and events aimed at those who follow a particular brand, whether it is a super-luxury marque or simply one that has made a certain mark on the market. For example, Volkswagen. This brand holds several events in different countries and, although the best known is the gathering on the shores of Lake Wörthersee, in Spain the owners of the brand’s vans get together.

The meeting takes place at the La Ballena Alegre Costa Brava campsite, a venue the brand has been choosing for several years so that fans of this iconic vehicle can come together in an atmosphere of camaraderie, joy, celebration and, above all, classic Volkswagen vans. This fourteenth edition of FurgoVolkswagen has brought together around 6,000 people who, along with the 755 vans of the brand, have created the atmosphere needed to enjoy this intense weekend.

The Volkswagen vans have been a cult object since the legendary T range was launched, so from the 1950s and 60s they have become more than just a vehicle, coming to symbolise a way of life. Adventure, long holidays and leisure have been an important part of the life of these vans, as well as being useful for everyday work.

Fans of Volkswagen vans gather once again on the Costa Brava Among the activities held, such as the photocall, the big beach barbecue and all the workshops for the little ones, Volkswagen took the opportunity to present new models of these commercial vehicles, such as the Caravelle Premium, the Multivan Highline and the 4Motion versions of the Multivan Outdoor and the Caddy Outdoor. Attendees were able to drive these models and enjoy all their advantages and appeal.

The meeting coincided with one of the sports most associated with the classic Volkswagen models, surfing. The World Windsurfing Championship took place at the same time as this event, so many fans travelled to take part aboard one of the German brand’s vans.

The Volkswagen vans are one of the brand’s strong points and always receive special consideration, since owners of one of them feel special being able to drive any of the models that have appeared over the years and that have been part of many people’s lives. Have you owned any of these models?
