Spain updates motorhome parking rules
Original source: Majorca Daily Bulletin

Spain's traffic authority (DGT) has implemented new regulations for motorhomes and camper vans effective March 11. Key updates include revised MOT inspection intervals, parking regulations based on a Supreme Court ruling, and official recognition of tourist reception areas. Municipalities may impose parking restrictions, and deploying awnings or furniture outside designated zones is considered illegal camping.

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.
