Cantabria Government Will Allow Motorhomes to Overnight in Any Public Space
Original source: eldiariocantabria.es

The Government of Cantabria approved a new decree regulating campsites and service areas for motorhomes. The regulation simplifies the creation of new sites but maintains the possibility of overnight stays in any public space. Overnight stays are not considered camping unless awnings, tables, chairs are set up or waste is discharged. This has drawn complaints from residents and campsite owners, especially in summer, but authorities highlight the economic benefits of this tourism segment.

Cartagena approves El Limonar motorhome eco-area project and sends file to regional government

The local government board of Cartagena has approved the proposal to support the processing of the El Limonar motorhome eco-area in Los Nietos, considering that the necessary requirements are met to continue the exceptional authorization procedure on non-urbanizable land. The project, promoted by Eco Área Caravanas El Limonar SL, includes 229 motorhome pitches on a 68,285 square meter site, with an investment of over 1.8 million euros and 18 direct jobs. During the public information period, nine objections were filed questioning the public interest, potential impact on the Mar Menor, and risk of hidden urbanization; the final decision rests with the regional government, which will request sectoral reports and conduct an environmental impact assessment.

Developer seeks permit for motorhome campsite near Rambla Salada in Albatera

A developer has applied to the regional government for a declaration of community interest (DIC) to build a campsite for motorhomes and camper vans in La Dehesa de Albatera. The 9,339-square-meter plot, on non-developable land, would include 48 pitches, capacity for 144 people, a pool, bar, and green area. The project requires a lengthy administrative process because the land is classified as common non-urbanizable, with the final decision resting with the regional government. The site is in a zone with geomorphological flood risk, which could affect approval.
