Residents of Sornàs who own paid parking and overnight spaces for motorhomes (annual fee of 250 euros) report that the lot is constantly occupied by tourists who do not pay and exceed time limits, leaving no room for paying users. Complaints to the police have not resolved the issue. A new regulation banning overnight stays outside designated areas (fines up to 600 euros) is considered ineffective due to a chronic lack of legal alternatives.

San Vicente de la Barquera bans motorhome parking on beaches and key municipal points

The city council of San Vicente de la Barquera has banned parking for motorhomes and large vehicles at several locations, including Tostadero beach, the breakwater, the area around Santa María de los Ángeles church, and near the sports center. New signs prohibit parking for vehicles over 1,600 kg, effectively limiting motorhomes, camper vans, and other bulky vehicles. The measure addresses issues observed in recent summers: sidewalk occupation, road encroachment, and pedestrian traffic difficulties. As an alternative, the municipality has opened a new 82-space parking lot on national road N-634, connected to the town center by a bike lane and pedestrian access.

Andorra introduces €600 fine for overnight stays in motorhomes and caravans outside permitted areas

Andorra has enforced a ban on overnight stays and camping in motorhomes and caravans outside official zones since 2025. Violators face a €600 fine, reduced to €300 if paid on the spot; refusal to pay results in vehicle seizure by police. The measure aims to reduce pressure on nature and infrastructure, following similar restrictions in Spain, Portugal, and France. Legal overnight options include campsites and designated areas, with an updated list available from the tourism office.
