The Parliament of Cantabria has approved an initiative obliging the regional government to take measures to prevent uncontrolled motorhome overnight stays outside designated areas. The proposal, tabled by the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC), was supported by PSOE, Vox, and an independent deputy, while the ruling People's Party (PP) voted against.

Key measures

  • Ban on overnight stays outside specially designated areas.
  • Strengthened inspections in coastal and protected areas, and crackdown on illegal parking during peak tourist season.
  • Creation of a map of high tourist pressure areas (sensitive zones) for temporary restrictions.
  • Revision of the recently adopted sector decree to include environmental regulations.
  • Development of balanced regulation to prevent unfair competition with legal tourist facilities.
