Spain's Supreme Court: Mobile and prefab homes are not trailers and require a license
Original source: Vozpopuli

Spain's Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that mobile homes and prefabricated houses are akin to prefabricated houses and require an urban planning license for land use. The ruling came after Agrocamping S.L. challenged a decision by the Tarragona city council denying the legalization of mobile homes in a campsite. The court stated that an activity license does not cover urban planning control, and environmental protection and the urban environment justify the refusal. It also clarified that such homes cannot be treated as trailers because their primary purpose is residence, not towing.

Valdoviño residents complain about incivility of motorhomes

Residents of the municipality of Valdoviño in Galicia have complained about the behavior of tourists staying overnight in motorhomes near beaches. They point out that these vehicles take up a lot of space on roads, hindering access for locals, including those with reduced mobility. There have also been reports of human feces found near the river that flows into the beach. Every summer, thousands of tourists visit the area's beaches in motorhomes, and locals regularly voice complaints about such incidents.
