Motorhome conflicts in Spain: Oyambre park protest and Almería clampdown
Original source: La Razón

In Brief

In Spain, tensions rise over motorhome parking: a planned area in Oyambre Natural Park (Cantabria) faces environmentalist opposition, while Almería authorities install barriers and evict vehicles from sensitive zones.

Cantabria: protest against motorhome area in Oyambre

The Salvar Oyambre platform warned that installing a motorhome area on the coast of San Vicente de la Barquera would damage the natural park. Activists say the project is incompatible with the park's protected status and violates the law.

Almería: barriers, displacement and control

In Almería city, authorities installed bollards and blocked access to the former fairground to prevent illegal motorhome parking. As a result, about 20 trailers moved to the fence of Parque de la Familia and the Auditorio Maestro Padilla parking lot, another 20 to new streets in the Vega de Acá district and Parque Andarax, where they occupied bus spaces. The official Delta del Andarax motorhome parking by the sea remained partially free.

In Cabo de Gata Natural Park, vehicles are being evicted from protected areas due to environmental damage. The municipality is also drafting specific regulations for motorhomes. New motorhome and camper registrations in Spain rose by 26.4% in March.
