PSOE accuses Tenerife government of inaction: 350 motorhome parking plan stalled for three years
Original source: Diario de Avisos

In Brief

The Socialist Party of Tenerife (PSOE) said the island government (CC and PP) has failed to implement a plan to create 350 motorhome parking spaces with €10 million investment, presented in May 2023.

The Socialist Party of Tenerife (PSOE) has accused the island government, formed by Coalición Canaria (CC) and Partido Popular (PP), of a three-year delay in implementing the Island Plan for Caravan and Motorhome Areas. The project, presented in May 2023, involved an investment of 10 million euros and the creation of about 350 spaces across six sites in municipalities including Granadilla de Abona and La Laguna.

PSOE Secretary General Tamara Raya stated that more than three years have passed since the presentation and 27 months since the agreement was approved, yet nothing has been done, even though the plan was nearly ready for execution. The plan included infrastructure for water supply, electricity, and sewage. Raya believes that waiting for a regional decree does not justify the inaction, and that the time could have been used to prepare sites and projects.

33 municipalities in Spain join forces to ban motorhomes and caravans from local roads

The 33 municipalities that make up the Aran Valley in Catalonia have agreed to prohibit motorhomes and caravans from using all local tracks and roads. The decision follows overcrowding and repeated breaches of coexistence rules by some users. Fines range from €200 to €3,000, with higher penalties for ecological damage. Authorities stress the legal distinction between parking (including sleeping inside the vehicle) and camping (setting up tables, chairs, awnings, etc.), which remains banned.

Canary Islands Government Acknowledges Over 30-Year Legal Gap in Campervan Tourism

The Canary Islands government is finalising new regulations for outdoor accommodation to address legal gaps that have existed for over 30 years. The new rules are expected to come into effect before 15 September, pending approval from the Consultative Council and the Government Council. Director General for Tourism Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Martínez acknowledged the lack of regulation since 1995. The government lacks official statistics on existing sites, but user numbers can reach tens of thousands during peak seasons.

Spanish municipalities must change signs banning motorhome parking from October 1

From October 1, 2024, a reform of Spain's General Traffic Regulations takes effect, prohibiting municipalities from discriminating against motorhomes and camper vans in parking. Restrictions on parking or overnight stays must now apply equally to all vehicles, not just to motorhomes. Municipalities retain the right to regulate parking by size, height, or time, but not by vehicle use. Signs specifically banning motorhome parking must be replaced.
