Cantabria Parliament calls for restrictions on motorhome overnight stays outside designated areas
Original source: elDiario.es

In Brief

The Parliament of Cantabria has approved an initiative urging the regional government to tighten control over motorhome overnight stays on public land. The proposal was backed by opposition parties, while the ruling PP voted against.

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.

Spain lifts ban on motorhome parking in city centers

Cantabria's Tourism Minister Luis Martínez Abad (PP) stated in parliament that the regional government lacks legal competence to prohibit motorhome parking on public roads. The new decree, he argued, simplifies procedures for opening new parking areas and removes the maximum capacity limit for service zones. The opposition (PRC) criticized the decree, saying it fails to address illegal camping and shifts regulatory and enforcement burdens to municipalities.
