Caravaners back new Canary Islands decree: 'We were 60 years behind the mainland'

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.

Motorhomes overwhelm A Guarda

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.
