In Brief

Residents and visitors of Lagunas de Ruidera natural park complain about uncontrolled motorhome parking outside permitted areas, threatening the ecosystem and causing litter and safety issues.

Residents and visitors of the Lagunas de Ruidera natural park in Castilla-La Mancha have raised concerns about uncontrolled parking of motorhomes and caravans outside permitted areas. They say this threatens the park's ecosystem, leads to litter accumulation, and violates safety rules. The problem is especially acute during holidays and the vacation season.

The group "Ruidera limpia" reported illegal overnight stays during the May bank holiday. Despite a designated area opened by authorities in 2021, its capacity is insufficient during peak periods, and vehicles are often left in unauthorized spots, causing environmental degradation and risks to visitors.
