The province of Castellón (Spain) sees increased demand for motorhomes for summer travel, driven by uncertainty over airfare and fuel costs. Sales peaked at 65 units in 2024 and reached 61 in 2025. Weekly camper rental in high season costs €1,000–1,300, with prices unchanged since 2024. Spain has 372,500 caravanning vehicles, including 100,000 motorhomes.

Spanish municipalities must change signs banning motorhome parking from October 1

From October 1, 2024, a reform of Spain's General Traffic Regulations takes effect, prohibiting municipalities from discriminating against motorhomes and camper vans in parking. Restrictions on parking or overnight stays must now apply equally to all vehicles, not just to motorhomes. Municipalities retain the right to regulate parking by size, height, or time, but not by vehicle use. Signs specifically banning motorhome parking must be replaced.

62-year-old retiree from Barcelona offers free motorhome parking service in Lleida

Josep Jané, a 62-year-old retiree from Barcelona, has been voluntarily maintaining and welcoming guests at the motorhome parking area in Bovera (Lleida) since February. He helps drivers park, informs them about local services, and resolves issues. He moved to the village in April and rents a house there. The initiative was proposed to the municipality, which supported it. The parking area has 9 spaces, with a rotation of 2 per day, hosting over 60 motorhomes monthly, 90% of which are foreign visitors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Jané plans to systematize data collection on visitors. The mayor set a fee of €3/day for electricity and noted that signs prohibit motorhomes from driving through the village.
