Different rules for overnight stays in campers in Spain and Portugal
Original source: motorpasion.com

Overnight regulations for motorhomes and camper vans differ between Spain and Portugal, risking fines. In Spain, sleeping in a vehicle is permitted if it does not occupy extra space or discharge waste, though local authorities can impose bans. In Portugal, overnight stays are generally only allowed in designated areas, with a 48-hour exception for motorhomes outside protected natural zones.
