Original source: Diario de Arousa

In Brief

The municipality of O Grove has launched a campaign to control parking and overnight stays of motorhomes in natural areas and beaches, including Reboredo and As Pipas. Restrictions for vehicles over 3000 kg are introduced.

The municipality of O Grove (Spain) has announced a campaign of intensified control over parking and overnight stays of motorhomes in natural areas, especially in protected zones such as beaches. Local police will monitor vehicles that set up camping elements (tables, chairs, awnings) and obstruct passage.

Authorities are also installing new signs restricting access for vehicles heavier than 3000 kg on narrow roads and in Natura 2000 areas. Mayor José Cacabelos stated the intention to adopt a municipal regulation for motorhomes before summer. According to officials, the goal is not prohibition but the regulation of tourism, a problem that worsens in the summer season when population and tourism triple.

Meco Council aims to bring caravan regulations to plenary session in June

The municipality of Meco (O Grove) is finalizing the public consultation phase for a draft ordinance regulating motorhome parking. The final draft is expected to be presented to the plenary in June, with the regulation potentially taking effect this summer. The introduction of a tourist tax has been postponed due to a lack of consensus in the council. Authorities also denied plans to restrict access to the island of A Toxa, calling the proposal a private initiative that will not be implemented.
