Lanzarote sees over 400% increase in motorhomes in ten years
Original source: Lancelot Digital | Noticias de Lanzarote y Canarias

According to official records from the Lanzarote Cabildo Data Centre, just over 400 motorhomes were registered on the island in 2015, while the current figure exceeds 2,000. This represents an increase of more than 400% in a decade. The statistics do not include converted camper vans. In 2026, the island's southern campsite, open until 4 October, has upgraded its facilities and recorded record camper numbers. The Cabildo is considering a specific area in the north of the island to manage the activity; parking or overnight stays in prohibited places can result in fines.

Canary Islands lose millions: over 11,000 motorhome owners travel to mainland

The Autocaravanas Autónoma La P.A.C.A. platform has backed the new tourism regulation for the Canary Islands, currently under review by the Consultative Council. According to platform president Jesús Gallardo, more than 11,000 Canarian motorhome owners travel to the mainland each year, spending significant amounts there. Gallardo stressed the need for municipal parking areas to prevent the outflow of tourists and money from the islands.

PP Lanzarote proposes municipal ordinances to regulate motorhome use

The People's Party of Lanzarote will present a draft ordinance to the island's municipalities to regulate parking and overnight stays of motorhomes, caravans, and campervans. The aim is to organize parking, limit wild camping, and establish equipped areas with basic services (water, grey water disposal, waste management). The initiative responds to the growth of this type of tourism since the pandemic and the lack of uniform regulation among municipalities, which has caused pressure on various points of the island. The proposal is part of a regional plan to approve regulations for campsites and motorhome areas.

Living in a caravan year-round in Spain is cheaper than a studio in Limoges

A cost comparison shows that an annual pitch for a caravan on the Costa Blanca costs €250–350 per month, including water and sometimes electricity. A studio in Limoges rents for around €380 excluding charges. With electricity (€30–50), groceries (10–15% cheaper than in France) and basic health insurance, the caravan budget totals €400–480 per month, versus €480–550 for the studio. Stays over 90 days require resident registration.

Benimar Kaleo: entry-level motorhome range with no separate options

Spanish manufacturer Benimar unveiled the Kaleo series at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, comprising three semi-integrated motorhomes and one alcove model on a Citroën Jumper chassis. The range is positioned as entry-level but follows a closed concept: standard equipment is comprehensive, and no individual options are available except for an automatic transmission. An optional Onroad package adds Thunder Grey metallic cab paint with body-coloured bumper, 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, cab blackout, leather steering wheel with radio controls, swivel cab seats, awning, extra garage door, a 150-litre compressor fridge, a Dometic habitation door with window and double glazing, a panoramic roof window, an electric drop-down bed (except on the alcove K625), and preparations for equipment including a reversing camera.
