Residents of the Covas area in Ferrol have criticized the management of the municipal parking lot serving the beaches, arguing that the current model disadvantages locals in favor of other users, particularly motorhomes. They claim that reserving spaces for motorhomes reduces already insufficient parking capacity during summer and call for resident-only zones, as implemented in neighboring municipalities. Insufficient public transport is also criticized, forcing reliance on private vehicles.

Spain lifts ban on motorhome parking in city centers

Cantabria's Tourism Minister Luis Martínez Abad (PP) stated in parliament that the regional government lacks legal competence to prohibit motorhome parking on public roads. The new decree, he argued, simplifies procedures for opening new parking areas and removes the maximum capacity limit for service zones. The opposition (PRC) criticized the decree, saying it fails to address illegal camping and shifts regulatory and enforcement burdens to municipalities.

José, father of a 3-month-old baby: 'I bought a caravan because I had nowhere to live. Today we can't afford rent'

On the Spanish island of Mallorca, the housing crisis has forced many residents, including José, a father of a three-month-old, to live in caravans and motorhomes.

Manifesto Miñor insists on creating a motorhome park in Gondomar

The political group Manifesto Miñor is urging the Gondomar municipality to equip a motorhome parking area that is already being used informally. According to the group, in August an average of 4-5 motorhomes park there daily, despite the lack of facilities and regulation. The project, proposed by the group in 2016-2017, involves relocating the area next to the bus station and installing water supply and waste disposal. The estimated cost is 25,000 euros. The group also claims the mayor's office has not granted access to project documents, raising suspicions of inaction.

Spanish content creator Marina, known as @marinaaluca on TikTok, documents her daily life in a motorhome with her partner Fran Parra.

She also notes that living in a motorhome in Spain costs between €500 and €1,200 per month per person, with vehicle prices ranging from €20,000 to €70,000.
