The Parliament of Cantabria has approved an initiative urging the regional government to tighten control over motorhome overnight stays on public land. The proposal, tabled by the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC), was supported by PSOE, Vox and an independent deputy; only the ruling People's Party (PP) voted against.
The initiative includes a ban on overnight stays outside designated areas, increased inspections in coastal and protected zones, and the creation of a map of high-tourism-pressure areas for temporary restrictions. It also calls for revising the recently adopted sector decree, strengthening environmental oversight, and combating illegal parking, especially in coastal areas and specially protected rural territories during peak tourist season. The aim is to develop balanced regulations to prevent unfair competition with legal tourist accommodations.
