In Brief

The 10th Yakart Camino de Santiago motorhome route is underway in Galicia. 53 motorhomes stopped in Pontevedra, where the mayor welcomed them. The route runs until July 12 and ends in Santiago de Compostela.

From July 1 to 12, the 10th Yakart Camino de Santiago motorhome route is taking place in Galicia. Participants travel through various cities in the region, combining nature, gastronomy, culture and itinerant tourism.

On Tuesday, 53 motorhomes (about 53 families, mostly from other parts of Spain) set up a temporary camp on part of the exhibition center square near Pazo da Cultura in Pontevedra. Mayor Miguel Anxo Fernández Lores visited them, thanked them for choosing the city and invited them to return.

The convoy started from Sabucedo and by noon headed to the Baiona campsite, where the local mayor welcomed them. The route will continue to San Vicente do Mar and end on Sunday in Santiago de Compostela. Organizers note the growing popularity of this type of tourism and call on authorities to create infrastructure for motorhomes.

Spanish municipalities must change signs banning motorhome parking from October 1

From October 1, 2024, a reform of Spain's General Traffic Regulations takes effect, prohibiting municipalities from discriminating against motorhomes and camper vans in parking. Restrictions on parking or overnight stays must now apply equally to all vehicles, not just to motorhomes. Municipalities retain the right to regulate parking by size, height, or time, but not by vehicle use. Signs specifically banning motorhome parking must be replaced.

62-year-old retiree from Barcelona offers free motorhome parking service in Lleida

Josep Jané, a 62-year-old retiree from Barcelona, has been voluntarily maintaining and welcoming guests at the motorhome parking area in Bovera (Lleida) since February. He helps drivers park, informs them about local services, and resolves issues. He moved to the village in April and rents a house there. The initiative was proposed to the municipality, which supported it. The parking area has 9 spaces, with a rotation of 2 per day, hosting over 60 motorhomes monthly, 90% of which are foreign visitors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Jané plans to systematize data collection on visitors. The mayor set a fee of €3/day for electricity and noted that signs prohibit motorhomes from driving through the village.
