Last year, 7,146 caravaning vehicles were registered in Spain, making the question of overnight stays in motorhomes by the sea particularly relevant. According to the General Traffic Regulations, sleeping in a properly parked motorhome is not considered camping if the vehicle remains within its own perimeter and does not occupy additional space. However, deploying an awning, setting up chairs or a table can be considered camping, leading to fines. Parking on beaches is prohibited, and in some municipalities such as Malaga, Tarifa and A Coruña, fines reach €1,500–€3,000. Campgrounds and designated motorhome areas are recommended for overnight stays.
