A Guarda has officially opened a new motorhome service area at its port. The project is part of the PSTD A Guarda sustainable tourism plan, funded by NextGenerationEU. Total investment amounted to 305,000 euros. In addition to the motorhome area, a park-and-ride facility and connections to coastal trails were created. Mayor Roberto Carrero and Galicia's Tourism Director Xosé Merelles attended the opening. The works also improved pedestrian and cycling mobility, restored native vegetation, and renewed pavements, drainage, lighting, signage, and street furniture. The park-and-ride aims to reduce traffic pressure near the port and Monte Santa Trega. The overall PSTD A Guarda plan has a budget of 1 million euros and covers four areas: green transition, sustainable mobility, digital transformation, and tourism competitiveness.

The Government of the Canary Islands is drafting a law to regulate areas for motorhomes, caravans and campervans, while Fuerteventura authorities are studying limiting access for non-resident motorhomes and campervans. The island accounts for about 70% of all camper tourism in the Canaries. In Ajuy, a village of about 90 residents, there is no official motorhome area, but three free parking spots listed on Park4Night were used by campers in 2026. The nearest equipped motorhome area is in Tarajalejo, about 35 minutes away by road.

The Tres Cantos municipal council approved partial amendments to its Municipal Mobility and Traffic Ordinance on the afternoon of 24 September. The vote was 16 in favour and 8 abstentions. For personal mobility vehicles, including e-scooters, the minimum age is set at 15, helmets become mandatory, and visibility and lighting requirements are tightened. The changes also adjust rules for motorhomes and other vehicles equipped as dwellings, and update exclusion zones for goods vehicles over 12 tonnes, with attention to residential streets and areas with high pedestrian presence. The amendments align local rules with the updated General Traffic Regulations.
