Salinas residents demand ban on caravan parking in urban area

Residents of Salinas are demanding that the Castrillón council ban caravan parking in urban areas, calling the situation unsustainable. The nighttime parking restriction from 00:00 to 08:00, introduced at the start of summer, has not solved the problem: caravans have moved from the grass to the asphalt, occupying parking spaces and obstructing traffic. The residents' association points to deteriorating sanitary conditions and calls for applying the model of Llanes or Laredo. The council cites regional bureaucracy: a plan to rent private plots for 50,000 euros is stalled due to a missing CUOTA report, and the San Juan de Nieva parking project has been deemed unviable.

O Grove local police fined over 80 caravans since July

The municipality of O Grove has responded to complaints about caravan control, stating that this summer enforcement has been stricter. Mayor Jose Cacabelos said that between July 10 and last Sunday, local police issued more than 80 fines to caravans, mostly for improper parking. Surveillance has been intensified, especially in popular areas like A Toxa and A Lanzada, and a significant decrease in caravans has been noted at As Pipas and Reboredo beaches, where prohibition signs were installed.

Oseja de Sajambre plans motorhome area in Picos de Europa

The move responds to the growing popularity of motorhome and camper tourism in Spanish natural areas.
