The Castrillón City Council has begun drafting a new ordinance to regulate parking of long vehicles, motorhomes and overnight stays in the municipality. The measure aims to address road saturation, traffic safety issues and coexistence problems during the summer season, particularly in the urban core and coastal front of Salinas. Proposed measures include daytime parking restrictions for vehicles over 5.5 metres in Salinas, a 24-hour ban on wild camping throughout the municipality, development of a network of areas such as El Agüil and a planned one on Avenida de Raíces, permits for registered residents, and specific time slots for commercial loading and unloading. The goal is not to ban itinerant tourism but to manage a scarce public resource: parking in an area that receives peaks of over 40,000 daily visitors against a population of just over 4,000.
