Alicante is becoming one of Spain's most attractive destinations for motorhome travel. The rise in interest is driven by the search for freedom, flexibility, and connection with nature. Key factors include mild climate, good road connections, diverse scenic routes, and lower saturation compared to other regions. This boosts the local economy: campsites, service areas, and small businesses are adapting to the new demand.

Malaga mayor calls caravan settlement a long-standing issue, asks for understanding

Malaga Mayor Francisco de la Torre stated that the informal caravan settlement in the Sacaba area is a long-unresolved problem and called for understanding from all parties. He noted that the city is exploring the possibility of establishing a cheap campsite within the municipality but lacks suitable public land. Opposition parties PSOE and Con Málaga criticized the eviction plans, demanding housing solutions for families who, they argue, are victims of high rental prices and a city model that displaces residents.

Mechanic on trial for fraud in motorhome repair

The Provincial Court of Palencia (Spain) will hold a preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, for mechanic G. G. M., accused of fraud. The victim contacted the accused via a website offering services and paid €2,450, but only €65 worth of work was actually performed. The parties have reached a plea agreement: considering mitigating circumstances (reparation of damage and significant procedural delays), the accused accepts a six-month prison sentence, a €360 fine, and compensation of €2,385.46.

Family Motorhome Trips from Zaragoza: Routes in Aragon with Kids

The article highlights the benefits of traveling by motorhome or camper van with children in Aragon. Key advantages include flexible schedules, no hotel dependency, and cost savings for large families. Three routes are suggested: Monasterio de Piedra (waterfalls, 110–120 km from Zaragoza), the Pyrenees (Tena and Ordesa valleys), and Dinópolis in Teruel (dinosaur park, 175 km). Practical tips include limiting driving to 2 hours with a break, using designated service areas, avoiding overnight parking in national parks, and carrying cash.

Lleida remains one of the few Spanish provincial capitals without a motorhome area or campsite

The city of Lleida (Catalonia) lacks both a public motorhome service area and a campsite within its municipal boundaries. According to the author, this undermines the city's tourism potential and economic benefits from the growing motorhome travel segment. The lack of infrastructure leads to unauthorized parking and public space management issues.
