Spain: Opposition seeks alternatives for motorhome parking

In Brief

In Ribamontán al Mar, PP questions blue-zone parking rules for motorhomes, while in El Paso a new ordinance is proposed to distinguish parking, overnight stays and camping.

In Spain, debates continue over motorhome parking regulations. In Ribamontán al Mar (Cantabria), the opposition People's Party (PP) has questioned changes to the parking ordinance in the blue zone of Somo and Loredo. According to the opposition, the current rule already prohibits parking such vehicles in these spaces, so they are asking for alternative options.

Meanwhile, on the island of La Palma, in the municipality of El Paso, the PP has put forward a proposal to develop a municipal ordinance regulating motorhome parking. The document, to be presented at the next plenary session by councillor Nayra Castro, aims to distinguish between parking, overnight stays and camping for campers and motorhomes. It also includes rules on waste management, environmental protection and municipal control, as well as studying the possibility of creating special areas for such vehicles.

The initiative seeks to ensure coexistence and protect the urban and natural environment, as El Paso currently lacks specific regulation for this type of tourism.

The People's Party of Lanzarote will present a draft ordinance to the island's municipalities to regulate parking and overnight stays of motorhomes, caravans, and campervans. The aim is to organize parking, limit wild camping, and establish equipped areas with basic services (water, grey water disposal, waste management). The initiative responds to the growth of this type of tourism since the pandemic and the lack of uniform regulation among municipalities, which has caused pressure on various points of the island. The proposal is part of a regional plan to approve regulations for campsites and motorhome areas.
