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.

Galicia sees rise in campervan projects amid night-stay ban disputes

The surge in camper tourism has led to overcrowding in coastal areas of Galicia. Several municipalities, including O Grove, are drafting ordinances to prohibit overnight parking of motorhomes and camper vans in public and natural spaces, restricting it to designated areas and campsites. Local authorities describe the situation as an "invasion" and cite ecological concerns, while caravanning associations argue the measures are discriminatory and call for more serviced parking areas.

Cartagena approves El Limonar motorhome eco-area project and sends file to regional government

The local government board of Cartagena has approved the proposal to support the processing of the El Limonar motorhome eco-area in Los Nietos, considering that the necessary requirements are met to continue the exceptional authorization procedure on non-urbanizable land. The project, promoted by Eco Área Caravanas El Limonar SL, includes 229 motorhome pitches on a 68,285 square meter site, with an investment of over 1.8 million euros and 18 direct jobs. During the public information period, nine objections were filed questioning the public interest, potential impact on the Mar Menor, and risk of hidden urbanization; the final decision rests with the regional government, which will request sectoral reports and conduct an environmental impact assessment.

Developer seeks permit for motorhome campsite near Rambla Salada in Albatera

A developer has applied to the regional government for a declaration of community interest (DIC) to build a campsite for motorhomes and camper vans in La Dehesa de Albatera. The 9,339-square-meter plot, on non-developable land, would include 48 pitches, capacity for 144 people, a pool, bar, and green area. The project requires a lengthy administrative process because the land is classified as common non-urbanizable, with the final decision resting with the regional government. The site is in a zone with geomorphological flood risk, which could affect approval.

Sleeping in a motorhome is allowed, but extending the awning is not: new rules in Aragon

The reform of the General Traffic Regulations, effective October 2026, will explicitly allow sleeping, eating, and resting inside a motorhome if it is parked legally, with no elements protruding and no liquid discharge. However, deploying an awning, placing tables or chairs, lowering stabilizer legs, or emptying gray or black water will classify the stop as camping, requiring a campsite or designated area. Fines for violations may range from 100 to 200 euros, depending on the nature of the offense.

San Sebastián issues up to five daily fines for motorhomes parked on streets

In San Sebastián (Donostia), 2,558 fines have been issued since January 2025 for overnight parking of motorhomes on public streets, averaging four to five sanctions per day. The practice is prohibited by the local Civility Ordinance and is classified as a minor infraction, punishable by fines ranging from 50 to 200 euros. The lack of infrastructure for motorhome users is cited as a contributing factor.
