Villarcayo considers installing motorhome area in Pontones or Cigüenza

The Villarcayo city council is considering two plots for a new paid motorhome area with 25 spaces: near the Cigüenza urbanization or in the Pontones area. The project, included in the 2026 budget with €120,000, is being drafted by a consultant who will also determine the best location. The initial site near the new tourist hostel was discarded after the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation declared it a flood zone. The area will feature automated access control, individual water and electricity hookups, and a fee to prevent uncontrolled camping that has caused resident complaints.

Javier González, a 69-year-old Argentine emigrant, has lived in a 6–7 square meter motorhome on Mallorca for five years. He moved to the island 25 years ago to work as a delivery driver and now cannot afford rental housing. González criticizes Palma Mayor Jaime Martínez's policy, which he says denies registration and pushes motorhome residents out of the city. He notes that many locals, including hospital workers, are forced to live in motorhomes due to rent increases up to 1,500 euros.
