Andalusia cracks down on campervans: fines and evictions in Cádiz and Cabo de Gata
Original source: Diario de Cádiz

In Brief

Municipalities in Cádiz province and Cabo de Gata Natural Park in Andalusia are tightening controls on campervan parking. Fines range from 80 to 200 euros, overnight stays outside campsites are banned in Chiclana, and evictions are carried out in Tarifa for environmental violations.

In Cádiz province and Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park (Andalusia), authorities are intensifying controls on campervans and motorhomes amid a post-pandemic surge in this type of tourism.

In Cádiz, fines for illegal parking range from 80 to 200 euros. Chiclana has completely banned overnight stays outside campsites. Tarifa conducts evictions for environmental violations. Most towns lack dedicated infrastructure, and projects to create parking areas are progressing slowly.

In Cabo de Gata, agents have evicted vehicles from prohibited zones and temporarily closed some parking areas due to overcrowding. Fines for violating environmental regulations can exceed 200 euros.

Min Ji-young reveals new cancer cells found in thyroid

Actress Min Ji-young said cancer cells were found in her left thyroid, preventing her from receiving a full recovery. In a video on her YouTube channel 'Min Ji-young TV', she explained that five years after undergoing surgery to remove the right side of her thyroid, the disease has now affected the left side. Despite this, the family continues their camper van world tour, having returned to Madrid. However, the trip has faced setbacks: a toe injury confined Min to the camper for three months, and a leak in the diesel heater's antifreeze led to damage to the heater unit itself.

Palma to restrict access to Son Hugo car park to curb motorhome settlement

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. First, it will complete the perimeter fence and limit entry to the sports facility's opening hours; later, it will install an access control system allowing only users of the complex. 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.

Vandals damage motorhome area in Cunit days before opening

In Cunit (Baix Penedès), vandals damaged the new motorhome area, leaving trash and pulling out posts just days before its opening. The municipality condemned the act and will repair the damage, possibly installing surveillance cameras. The area, located next to the sports pavilion, offers grey water disposal and charging, plus a picnic zone. It is part of a network of four municipalities coordinated by the Baix Penedès County Council.
