Vitoria fines caravan owners for parking near the paid Portal de Foronda lot without paying. In another city, about a dozen fines were issued in a month for violating parking and living rules.

In Vitoria (Spain), local police have begun fining caravan owners who park near the official Portal de Foronda lot and use its infrastructure without paying. Previously, the lot was free and unlimited, leading to its use as permanent housing and complaints from residents. In 2025, authorities introduced a fee and a 3-day limit.

In another municipality, about a dozen fines were issued in a month to caravan and motorhome owners for violating local regulations. Violations include parking in one spot for more than seven days, camping, and using the vehicle as permanent housing.

Villarcayo considers installing motorhome area in Pontones or Cigüenza

The Villarcayo city council is considering two plots for a new paid motorhome area with 25 spaces: near the Cigüenza urbanization or in the Pontones area. The project, included in the 2026 budget with €120,000, is being drafted by a consultant who will also determine the best location.

The area will feature automated access control, individual water and electricity hookups, and a fee to prevent uncontrolled camping that has caused resident complaints.
