In Brief

Bueu and Ribeira in Spain are working on camper van parking rules: Bueu with the University of Vigo under an Interreg project, Ribeira on a PSOE initiative.

The municipality of Bueu, together with the University of Vigo, has launched a study under the European Interreg Atlantic Area programme aimed at reducing spontaneous camper van parking on beaches and developing a municipal regulatory framework. The project includes mapping of 'hot spots', user surveys and subsequent workshops with all stakeholders. The programme budget is 3 million euros, and the study will conclude in December 2027.

In the neighbouring municipality of Ribeira, the municipal council unanimously approved a PSOE proposal to develop regulations governing the parking of camper vans, caravans and motorhomes. The document aims to organise the use of public space, support private campsites and prevent long-term parking on municipal land.

The prosecutor's office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife has requested a three-year prison sentence for a man accused of misappropriating €53,000 in a motorhome sale. Buyers paid €53,000 as a partial deposit for a vehicle priced at €86,000 but never received the motorhome or a refund despite repeated demands. Although the seller's son is the official partner and manager, the father acted as the authorized agent and controlled the company, leading prosecutors to charge him with taking the money.

A motorhome based on the Lada Granta, previously unknown to the European market, appeared in Spain and attracted attention from specialized media. However, buyers face a shortage of spare parts and difficulties with registration due to the engine not meeting Euro emission standards. The price starts at 13,000 euros, and the interior includes a double bed, kitchen, and shower. Experts note that the case is more an exception than the start of a mass trend, due to the lack of dealer support and strict safety requirements.
