Salvar Oyambre warns motorhome area will harm natural park
Original source: elDiario.es

In Brief

Environmentalists warn of 'consented deterioration' from a planned motorhome area near Oyambre park. They say it conflicts with Natura 2000 status and is being pushed through with simplifications.

The Salvar Oyambre platform has criticized a project to build a motorhome parking area on the coast of the Oyambre Natural Park in San Vicente de la Barquera. Activists said the facility would lead to "consented deterioration" and is incompatible with the status of a specially protected natural area, including its status as a Natura 2000 site of Community importance.

According to the platform, the project is being promoted using simplifications under a recent Cantabrian law and has not yet undergone mandatory sectoral approvals (road, environmental, hydrological). Activists believe the amendments to the Administrative Simplification Act prioritize tourism interests over nature protection.

Tourism withdraws tender for motorhome area in Liérganes

The Cantabrian tourism ministry halted the tender for a 27-space motorhome area in Liérganes due to a missing permit from the Cantabrian Hydrographic Confederation. The municipality expects the process to resume soon. The project, costing around 600,000 euros, sparked controversy: opposition deemed it excessive, while the PP-PRC government defended it as a way to ease pressure on the historic center.

Salinas residents demand ban on caravan parking in urban area

Residents of Salinas are demanding that the Castrillón council ban caravan parking in urban areas, calling the situation unsustainable. The nighttime parking restriction from 00:00 to 08:00, introduced at the start of summer, has not solved the problem: caravans have moved from the grass to the asphalt, occupying parking spaces and obstructing traffic. The residents' association points to deteriorating sanitary conditions and calls for applying the model of Llanes or Laredo. The council cites regional bureaucracy: a plan to rent private plots for 50,000 euros is stalled due to a missing CUOTA report, and the San Juan de Nieva parking project has been deemed unviable.
