The Asturias Motorhome Club (CAPA) has called for a march in Gijón on March 21st to protest restrictions on motorhomes. Participants demand the removal of height restrictions and the alignment of local ordinances with national law, citing a Ministry of the Interior instruction that allows motorhomes to park under the same conditions as other vehicles.

Gijón to install barriers to block motorhomes from parking lots

The Gijón City Council is planning to install height-restriction arches at the entrances to major city-center parking lots to prevent motorhomes from parking. The barriers will limit access to vehicles under 2.2 meters tall, reserving spaces for cars with higher turnover. This extends a measure implemented two years ago in the El Rinconín area.

Caravaners back new Canary Islands decree: 'We were 60 years behind the mainland'

The president of the Autonomous Motorhome Platform (P.A.C.A.), Jesús Gallardo, supported the new outdoor accommodation regulation being prepared by the Canary Islands Tourism Ministry. He noted that the archipelago still lacks legal campsites, putting it 60 years behind mainland Spain. The 18-article regulation sets requirements for motorhome areas, which are currently absent, leading to informal parking on beaches and commercial lots. All nine associations involved in the consultation approved the document.

Motorhomes overwhelm A Guarda

In A Guarda (Pontevedra), the motorhome parking area at the port, designed for six vehicles, is hosting more than twenty this summer, causing neighbor complaints. BNG spokesperson Anxo Baz criticized the location next to a museum in the urban center, as well as insufficient control and confusing signage. He said the facility fails as a park-and-ride, contrary to Mayor Roberto Carrero's promise, and is becoming an uncontrolled camping area.
