Spanish couple Juanma and Tony have lived for four years in a converted Peugeot Boxer van of 5 m², spending about 100 euros a week and paying no utility bills.
In Spain, the interactive app Camper Check has been launched to help choose a motorhome route based on who you travel with: a couple, friends, children, or pets. The service filters thousands of options, taking into account preferences and budget, and offers a tailored itinerary. The tool targets the growing demand for motorhome travel in the country.
On Saturday evening, a motorhome caught fire in the parking lot of the Outariz thermal baths in Ourense. The fire was caused by a short circuit in a light fixture. Firefighters and police responded to the scene. No injuries were reported, but the vehicle sustained material damage.
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.
Ahead of the total solar eclipse on August 12, demand for motorhome rentals has increased significantly. Enrique Rita, manager of AC LLAR, said that all motorhomes are booked and the reservation level is at 100%. This allows tourists to explore inland areas of the peninsula and comfortably witness the event.
Cordoba firefighters responded this morning to extinguish a motorhome fire at the El Arenal fairground. The alert was received at 8:55 after local police reported the blaze, which produced a column of black smoke visible from several points in the city. No injuries have been reported; the cause is under investigation.
In A Guarda (Pontevedra), the motorhome parking area at the port, designed for six vehicles, is hosting more than twenty this summer, causing neighbor complaints. BNG spokesperson Anxo Baz criticized the location next to a museum in the urban center, as well as insufficient control and confusing signage. He said the facility fails as a park-and-ride, contrary to Mayor Roberto Carrero's promise, and is becoming an uncontrolled camping area.
