Benicarló as an alternative to Peñíscola for camper travel
Original source: motorpasion.com

Benicarló, a town neighboring Peñíscola on the Castellón coast, offers a more relaxed atmosphere and beaches with full services. The Gurugú, Morrongo, and Caracola beaches have amenities and restaurants, while the historic center features monuments from the 15th–16th centuries. The Puig de la Nau archaeological site is one of the best-preserved Iberian settlements in the Valencian Community, with walls over 2 meters high. For overnight stays, Camping Alegría del Mar is recommended, located 1.5 km from the center with electricity and waste disposal; parking at Partida Solaes beach is prohibited for overnight stays.

Moncofa in Castellón: a quiet spot for motorhome holidays

Moncofa, a former fishing village in the province of Castellón, is attracting motorhome and camper travellers with its calm beaches, historical heritage and convenient overnight options. The beach of Moncofa stretches over two kilometres, nearby Belcaire beach allows swimming with dogs, and the Sendero Azul del Belcaire trail runs about four kilometres along the Mediterranean. The village has a campsite by the sea and several parking areas listed on Park4Night where overnight stays are usually permitted. It is important to note that sleeping inside a vehicle counts as parking, while setting up tables, chairs or awnings outside the vehicle is considered camping and may be subject to local restrictions.

Cartagena approves El Limonar motorhome eco-area project and sends file to regional government

The local government board of Cartagena has approved the proposal to support the processing of the El Limonar motorhome eco-area in Los Nietos, considering that the necessary requirements are met to continue the exceptional authorization procedure on non-urbanizable land. The project, promoted by Eco Área Caravanas El Limonar SL, includes 229 motorhome pitches on a 68,285 square meter site, with an investment of over 1.8 million euros and 18 direct jobs. During the public information period, nine objections were filed questioning the public interest, potential impact on the Mar Menor, and risk of hidden urbanization; the final decision rests with the regional government, which will request sectoral reports and conduct an environmental impact assessment.
