Motorhomes in Spain: new area in Arguedas and shortage of spaces in Toledo

The parking lot in Vall d'Uixó (Spain) after a €400,000 renovation now features 90 new trees, 2,000 plants, and 300 sq m of permeable pavement. Motorhome spaces have been increased to 20, tripling the previous capacity. The project is part of a broader €2 million+ site improvement that includes an archaeological museum and a pedestrian link to the Sant Josep natural area.

Operator R has started a tour of Galicia with an Airstream motorhome, offering residents of remote areas access to 5G technology and connectivity consultations. Inside, equipment demonstrates rural internet services (up to 1 Gbps via 5G), coverage solutions (femtocell), and VoWiFi. Smartwatch giveaways from vivo are also held. The route includes municipalities Caldas, Ordes, Arzúa, Melide, ending in early July in A Estrada and Cambados.

On July 1, 2026, the 10th Yakart Camino de Santiago motorhome route will start from A Coruña. 53 motorhomes and 120 participants will travel through Galicia for 12 days, finishing at the Obradoiro square in Santiago de Compostela.

On the evening of June 16, a fire in Montbrió del Camp (Tarragona) destroyed two caravans and a wooden shed. After extinguishing the blaze, firefighters discovered a man's body. The cause is under investigation.

A new trend in illegal squatting has emerged in Vitoria-Gasteiz, with parked motorhomes now being targeted. A resident found a squatter inside his motorhome, which had been damaged and ransacked. Local police arrested the suspect, and the owner filed a complaint. He expressed concern that this indicates rising crime, contradicting official statements.

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 initial site near the new tourist hostel was discarded after the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation declared it a flood zone. The area will feature automated access control, individual water and electricity hookups, and a fee to prevent uncontrolled camping that has caused resident complaints.
