In Brief

Spanish municipalities Almería and Aljaraque launch measures against illegal caravan and motorhome parking. Almería installs bollards and earthworks at the former fairground; Aljaraque starts a campaign with warnings and fines.

Two Spanish municipalities, Almería and Aljaraque, have begun campaigns to regulate the parking of caravans, motorhomes and trailers.

Almería

Almería city council has started work to block unauthorized parking at the former fairground (antiguo recinto ferial). Bollards are being installed and earthworks carried out to physically prevent access. The measure aims to restore order near the Maestro Padilla Auditorium and the Parque de las Familias. Work began the week of April 8, with bollard installation scheduled for the 13th. The operation involves the departments of traffic, public safety and public works. A new traffic regulation, currently being drafted, will strengthen the legal framework.

Aljaraque

The municipality of Aljaraque announced a campaign against improper parking of caravans, trailers and similar vehicles throughout the city. The measure responds to residents' complaints about lack of parking spaces and street pollution. Local police will notify owners to remove vehicles within 10 days, after which forced removal and fines will follow.

The Palma city council will act in two phases to reclaim the car park at the Son Hugo municipal pools and curb a long-standing motorhome settlement.

The first phase is tendered at €48,291.77 including VAT, with a 30-day execution period. In April 2025, 60 motorhomes were counted on the site, the largest concentration in Palma.
