Campervans overcrowd shopping centre car parks in Murcia
Original source: murciatoday.com

Car parks at shopping centres in Murcia are becoming informal campsites for motorhomes. Foreign-registered campers occupy spaces for weeks, despite a 72-hour limit, and the Park4night app lists the locations. The local council acknowledges the need for tighter controls but has not announced concrete measures.

Motorhomes in Spain: beach parking ban, hospital staff living in campers, and coastal surge

Hundreds of motorhomes have occupied seafront parking areas and land near a natural park in the Spanish municipalities of Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja, raising concerns about overcrowding and environmental impact. Authorities have installed signs banning vehicles wider than 2.2 meters from parking, but measures have had limited effect due to complex jurisdiction and stretched police resources. The municipal car park next to Zenia Boulevard, covering over 20,000 sq m, has effectively become a long-stay site, while mobile apps are directing more vehicles to areas with little enforcement.

Torrox residents demand action against illegal campervan settlements by river

Residents of the El Faro lighthouse area in Torrox are protesting against dozens of motorhomes that have been parked for months at the river mouth. They report waste dumping and the use of the natural environment as a toilet, criticizing the inaction of authorities. One resident claims over 50 caravans are parked long-term in the riverbed, while local officials only reiterate the 24-hour parking limit.

62-year-old retiree from Barcelona offers free motorhome parking service in Lleida

Josep Jané, a 62-year-old retiree from Barcelona, has been voluntarily maintaining and welcoming guests at the motorhome parking area in Bovera (Lleida) since February. He helps drivers park, informs them about local services, and resolves issues. He moved to the village in April and rents a house there. The initiative was proposed to the municipality, which supported it. The parking area has 9 spaces, with a rotation of 2 per day, hosting over 60 motorhomes monthly, 90% of which are foreign visitors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Jané plans to systematize data collection on visitors. The mayor set a fee of €3/day for electricity and noted that signs prohibit motorhomes from driving through the village.
