Environmentalists demand inspections of beach bars in Strait Natural Park after 78 caravans evicted

Economist José María Páez stated that placing a caravan on agricultural land for permanent residence is illegal, even if it has wheels or is not anchored. The law assesses not the type of structure but its use: if the caravan is used as a home (continuous living, connection to utilities), it is considered a violation. Offenders face fines up to €30,000 and forced removal. Registering the caravan as a residence does not legalize the situation.

The Spanish municipality of Husillos (Palencia) hosted a caravan meeting on June 19–21, organized by the town hall and the Cultural Caravaning Association of Galicia. The event brought together about thirty motorhomes and roughly a hundred participants, mostly from Galicia, as well as from Madrid, Valencia, and Castile and León. The program included a communal meal, board games, bingo, theater, a concert, a visit to the Memory Monolith, and a tour of the facsimile of the Orestes Sarcophagus. The gathering aimed to integrate travelers into village life and showcase local cultural and natural resources.
