The municipality of O Grove (Galicia) provisionally approved its General Urban Plan (PXOM) for the fourth time at an extraordinary plenary session on June 16, 2026. The document has been sent to the Xunta de Galicia's Directorate General for Urban Planning for final ratification. Simultaneously, a motorhome ordinance was unanimously adopted, banning parking on local beaches from 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM for all vehicles and prohibiting vehicles over 3,000 kg from parking on coastal areas without a hard surface. The ordinance allows for the creation of a public motorhome area, but the municipality considers existing private camping facilities sufficient.

The municipality of O Grove (Spain) has approved a regulation at a plenary session to control where motorhomes can park. The aim is to prevent uncontrolled parking and avoid uncomfortable situations.

Mayor José Cacabelos Rico urged residents and political groups to submit proposals for a municipal ordinance regulating the parking of motorhomes, camper vans, and caravans, aiming for enactment before next summer. He stated that the municipality lacks public parking spaces and that acquiring land in the city center or near beaches is difficult due to high costs and failed negotiations with owners. The goal is to prevent uncontrolled parking, especially in beach and dune areas, which have seen massive influxes in recent years.
