Original source: El Periódico Extremadura

In Brief

Spain has split into friendly and hostile municipalities for motorhome owners after a March 14 instruction. ASEICAR's map shows coastal areas are most restrictive, while inland regions are more welcoming.

Spain has split into friendly and hostile municipalities for motorhome and caravan owners after a traffic authority instruction on March 14 that delegated regulation to local authorities. The association ASEICAR compiled a map based on a survey of a thousand motorhome owners.

According to the map, coastal areas such as Cantabria, Costa Brava, Costa del Sol, the Cadiz coastline and the Canary Islands are the most restrictive. Inland regions, including Castile and León, are more welcoming. On Ibiza, a fine of €40,000 was issued for parking for three days on a natural site.

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.

French couple plans to watch solar eclipse from motorhome in Aragon

Maryline and Roland Grelet, retirees from Nantes, plan to drive nearly 1,000 km to Nuévalos in Aragon to observe the total solar eclipse on August 12 from their motorhome. They chose the location for its clear view and have already purchased certified glasses for safe viewing. The couple also noted that traveling by motorhome will save them from high accommodation costs in the observation area.

Caravaners back new Canary Islands decree: 'We were 60 years behind the mainland'

The president of the Autonomous Motorhome Platform (P.A.C.A.), Jesús Gallardo, supported the new outdoor accommodation regulation being prepared by the Canary Islands Tourism Ministry. He noted that the archipelago still lacks legal campsites, putting it 60 years behind mainland Spain. The 18-article regulation sets requirements for motorhome areas, which are currently absent, leading to informal parking on beaches and commercial lots. All nine associations involved in the consultation approved the document.
