The Less Idyllic Side of Caravanning

The rising popularity of motorhomes and campers in Spain has led to conflicts in coastal areas and natural spaces. Registrations of new motorhomes and campers in February increased by 84% compared to the same month in 2025. Many municipalities are imposing restrictions on overnight parking due to overcrowded parking lots and increased waste, while the industry is calling for more regulated areas.

Salinas residents demand ban on caravan parking in urban area

Residents of Salinas are demanding that the Castrillón council ban caravan parking in urban areas, calling the situation unsustainable. The nighttime parking restriction from 00:00 to 08:00, introduced at the start of summer, has not solved the problem: caravans have moved from the grass to the asphalt, occupying parking spaces and obstructing traffic. The residents' association points to deteriorating sanitary conditions and calls for applying the model of Llanes or Laredo. The council cites regional bureaucracy: a plan to rent private plots for 50,000 euros is stalled due to a missing CUOTA report, and the San Juan de Nieva parking project has been deemed unviable.

The move responds to the growing popularity of motorhome and camper tourism in Spanish natural areas. The municipality is one of the main gateways to the park from León province and receives thousands of visitors each year.
