Two motorhome incidents in Spain: fire in Dénia and reopening after flood in Valencia

A motorhome valued at 300,000 euros was completely destroyed by fire on Wednesday at El Raset beach in Dénia. Firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading to dozens of other motorhomes and caravans that form an informal camp along the shoreline. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of vehicles, often with foreign plates, overstaying the 24-hour parking limit in the area.

Port Saplaya and La Patacona open motorhome parking areas with 72-hour limit

The municipality of Alboraya has set up two designated parking zones for motorhomes, caravans and campers at Port Saplaya and La Patacona beaches. Maximum stay is 72 hours, and camping is expressly prohibited. Users may not set up tables, chairs, barbecues, awnings or other camping equipment outside, nor light fires, cook, wash vehicles or discharge grey and black water within the areas. The zones are unguarded, and owners are responsible for their vehicles and belongings. The measure follows complaints from residents and businesses in 2023 and police reports of excessive parking in 2025.
