Spanish authorities have clarified rules for parking and camping of motorhomes on streets and roads to prevent discrimination compared to passenger cars. A motorhome cannot be prevented from parking where other vehicles of the same size can park; signs banning motorhomes are generally not allowed, but height restrictions or other obstacles applying to all vehicles of the same size may be introduced. When parking, it is prohibited to set out chairs, extend an awning, lower support legs or open side windows — that constitutes camping. The new rules take effect on 1 October 2026, though enforcement remains at the discretion of individual police officers.
