€200 fine for van and camper van drivers from November for brakes and tires

Researchers from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria have published a study proposing parking limits for motorhomes on 24 beaches on the northern coast of Fuerteventura (between El Cotillo and Corralejo). The physical capacity of the beaches was estimated at 7,761 people, but after accounting for wind, rain, bird sensitivity, and lack of services, the effective capacity drops to 557 users. Based on this, the study recommends 159 parking spaces for the entire analyzed coastline to prevent unregulated parking and environmental damage.

Spain's DGT has started fining drivers who tow a trailer or caravan without carrying a fire extinguisher. The regulation applies to all vehicle combinations, including cars with light trailers. The fine for not having a certified, accessible extinguisher is up to 200 euros.

The Provincial Council of Seville has allocated €30 million over three years to expand tourist infrastructure in 60 municipalities. Funds will be used to build campsites, hostels, guesthouses, and motorhome parking areas. The first phase (€10 million) already funded projects in 21 municipalities; the second phase (€20 million) targets 40 locations, mostly with fewer than 5,000 residents. Maximum subsidy per project is €500,000, and facilities must be publicly owned.

Police in Oviedo have arrested a person suspected of setting fire to a motorhome parked in the La Bolgachina area. The incident occurred on Friday morning, with a thick black smoke plume visible for several kilometers. The owners had previously filed two complaints with police after the lock was broken and the vehicle was entered. Firefighters contained the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby cars, but the motorhome sustained major damage.

The Badajoz city council will install 20 parking sensors at the motorhome area on the right bank of the Guadiana River. Work is scheduled for June 29–30, during which the parking will be closed. The €499,651 project is funded by the EU's NextGenerationEU funds.

The Canary Islands Association of Motorhomes and Campervans (ACAT) has formally requested Arona Town Hall to explain the legal basis for signs restricting certain public parking spaces to cars and motorcycles only. ACAT submitted a written request for access to administrative files, technical reports, and legal documentation behind the signs installed in Los Cristianos and other areas. The association stated it is not challenging the council's authority but wants to ensure compliance with legality, proportionality, and equal treatment. As of writing, Arona Town Hall has not publicly responded.
