Caravans paralyze TF-1 highway in Tenerife in protest

A head-on collision between a car and a motorhome occurred on the N-340 highway in Roda de Berà (Tarragona). The car driver died at the scene; the motorhome driver was unharmed. Traffic was closed in both directions for nearly two hours.

The BNG party in Monforte will present a motion at the next municipal plenary session requesting the expansion and upgrade of the existing motorhome area. The current facility, with about 20 spaces, is considered insufficient given the growth of motorhome tourism and the town's role as the capital of the Ribeira Sacra region. The party highlights a lack of basic services such as water supply, dump station, lighting, and electrical hookups, which limits visitor stays. According to BNG, inaction would mean losing economic opportunities, as some visitors are forced to move to other municipalities due to lack of space or adequate services.

Valcaravan, a company with 40 years in caravanning, has reopened a renovated store in Beniparrell (Valencia) after damage from the Dana flood. The facility covers 5,500 m² and offers motorhomes, campervans, and caravans (new and used), plus parts, accessories, and a service workshop. It is an official dealer of Rápido, Itineo, North Cape, Sterckeman, Ranger, and Rimor. A rental service under the Walabi brand will also operate on site.

Spanish National Police dismantled a criminal organization involved in drug trafficking on the island of Lanzarote. The operation began after a school in Costa Teguise reported a suspicious motorhome parked on its premises. Authorities seized over 21 kg of cocaine, valued at €750,000 on the illicit market, and €115,000 in cash. Five individuals aged 55 to 58 were arrested, with the main suspect remanded in custody.

Police in Arrecife arrested five people aged 55–58 on suspicion of drug trafficking. The investigation began in September 2025 after a school reported a suspicious motorhome on its lot. Over 21 kg of cocaine and €115,000 in cash were seized.

The Iniciativa por La Gomera (IxLG) party stated that the opposition has been proposing the creation of camping zones for motorhomes for years, but the ruling Agrupación Socialista Gomera (ASG) did not support these initiatives. None of the island's six municipalities have suitable facilities for motorhome parking. According to IxLG representative Guzmán Correa Marichal, the lack of planning and infrastructure hinders orderly and sustainable tourism development despite growing demand.
