Sandra, known on TikTok as @sandra_patricia6830, lives year-round in a caravan at a campsite on the Costa Blanca. Her monthly pitch fee is 297 euros, fixed regardless of season. She has access to a pool, tennis court, private security, and gardening services. In France, over 100,000 people live in campsites year-round, but legislation prohibits using a campsite as a permanent residence.

In 2026, the regional government of Valencia granted €395,941 to 16 municipalities in Castellón at risk of depopulation to create or improve motorhome service points. The funding covers construction, renovation, and equipment such as waste-water disposal and potable water supply. The initiative aims to support sustainable mobile tourism and economic development in rural areas.

The municipality of Piélagos in Cantabria is advancing two privately promoted projects for motorhome areas, one of which would be located less than a kilometer from the Liencres Dunes Natural Park, near Valdearenas and Canallave beaches. The projects are still undergoing administrative and environmental procedures, with updates expected in autumn. The town hall is cooperating with the promoters, and Mayor Carlos Caramés has not ruled out a third facility in the future.

The 11th Moñeco Fest in Llerena (Badajoz province) will take place on September 18-19 and will for the first time include a gathering for caravans, campers, and campers. Organized by the O.G.E.T.E. association with support from the Diputación de Badajoz and Llerena City Council, participation is free but requires prior registration. The program features concerts, workshops, a market, and a camping area.
