Spain's DGT has issued instruction PROT 2026/04, clarifying inspection rules for camper vans and motorhomes. Vans in category N, converted without official registration, must now pass inspection every six months once they exceed 10 years old. This has boosted demand for portable lithium batteries (LiFePO4), which are not considered fixed installations and require no registration if not connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

In the Cabo de Gata Natural Park (Almería), overnight stays in campers and motorhomes are prohibited outside designated areas and campsites. In the village of La Isleta del Moro, known for its beaches and cuisine, tourists can stay in one of three motorhome areas (from €12 per day) or in two campsites (from €20 per night).

Rising housing prices in Spain are pushing more people to consider camper vans as an alternative to traditional housing. According to a BBVA study, house prices are expected to rise by about 5.7% in 2027, following an estimated 12% increase this year. Jesús, creator of the Viaja en tribu project, converted a van into a living space, reducing his monthly expenses to between 300 and 500 euros. He installed truck boxes for 100 euros and a roof tent for 1,500 euros. Jesús says the nomadic lifestyle helped him cope with stress and depression.

In Xàbia, motorhomes have reappeared near the Gorgos river, next to the Les Mesquides football field, prompting complaints from local residents. They report vehicles staying for extended periods, use of external space, and dogs tied to railings. The municipality confirms the area is not designated for motorhome parking and reminds that overnight stays in vehicles are prohibited. Local police will continue monitoring, with attention to potential waste accumulation.

The third Van Experience gathering on La Palma has attracted around a hundred caravans, double the number of the first edition. Participants completed a six-day route across the north of the island, ending at Puerto Espíndola. The convoy includes 200 people, mainly from the ESAD association and Caravaning Club Tinerfe. The fleet is 74% motorhomes and 37% campervans. The Rock & Road festival takes place on Friday with Celtas Cortos, Obús, Coti and Valdivia; tickets cost 25 euros.
