Audi Motor Pacífico holds Caravana RS in Alicante with new Audi RS 5 Avant as highlight

Residents of Liérganes (Cantabria) have accused local authorities of citing budget constraints for not repairing rural roads while funding a bypass and a new motorhome parking area. The motorhome area is budgeted at €700,000 from public and European funds, whereas roads linking Casa del Monte to Pámanes and Liérganes are in poor condition with large cracks. Residents note that a functional motorhome area has existed in the town center for over 20 years, questioning the new project's viability.

Blogger Miriam Talavera from Ibiza compared monthly expenses of living in a motorhome versus renting an apartment. According to her data, motorhome costs range from €350 to €850 per month, including loan, insurance, fuel, and gas. Renting an apartment costs between €700 and nearly €2,000, including utilities and other fees. However, on Ibiza, motorhome living is complicated by overnight parking bans and high fines, potentially raising costs to €1,800 per month.

Travel expert Marina clarified the difference between overnighting and camping for motorhome and campervan owners. According to DGT regulations, overnighting is allowed as long as you do not extend beyond the vehicle's perimeter.

TikTok user @miss_whitejuditart bought a used caravan for 1,900 euros and placed it on a plot of land. In a series of videos, she documents the renovation process, including replacing rotten wooden parts, fixing water leaks, and painting 31 cabinet doors. For the kitchen countertop, she uses porcelain tiles and handmade wooden trims to keep costs low. The project is ongoing, with a folding table still to be installed.

The Zestoa city council has finished painting parking spaces for motorhomes and camper vans in the Estación industrial estate.

A wastewater dump point and a time-control machine will be installed, with police patrols to prevent abuse. There are 22 spaces for local motorhomes.
