In Brief

Platform Salvar Oyambre has called on the Cantabrian government to reconsider applying the new motorhome decree in protected natural areas, warning of irreversible damage to Oyambre Natural Park and Natura 2000 zones.

Platform Salvar Oyambre has demanded that the Government of Cantabria reconsider the application of the new motorhome decree (Decree 35/2026) in protected natural areas. Activists warn of irreversible damage to Oyambre Natural Park, including mass tourism and simplified procedures for setting up parking areas.

According to the organization, the document prioritizes tourism development over nature protection. The decree, published in the official bulletin of Cantabria, removes capacity limits for new service areas and simplifies administrative procedures, posing risks to ecosystems, including Natura 2000 sites. Risks include degradation of soils, dunes, and salt marshes.

Salvar Oyambre calls for an immediate halt to motorhome parking projects near Oyambre Natural Park, independent environmental assessments, and strict application of the precautionary principle.

Tourism withdraws tender for motorhome area in Liérganes

The Cantabrian tourism ministry halted the tender for a 27-space motorhome area in Liérganes due to a missing permit from the Cantabrian Hydrographic Confederation. The municipality expects the process to resume soon. The project, costing around 600,000 euros, sparked controversy: opposition deemed it excessive, while the PP-PRC government defended it as a way to ease pressure on the historic center.

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.
