Galicia sees rise in campervan projects amid night-stay ban disputes

The surge in camper tourism has led to overcrowding in coastal areas of Galicia. Several municipalities, including O Grove, are drafting ordinances to prohibit overnight parking of motorhomes and camper vans in public and natural spaces, restricting it to designated areas and campsites. Local authorities describe the situation as an "invasion" and cite ecological concerns, while caravanning associations argue the measures are discriminatory and call for more serviced parking areas.

Motorhome and camper van boom transforms tourism in Spain

Tourism in Spain is undergoing a shift driven by increasing demand for motorhome and camper van travel. This segment has grown significantly post-pandemic, attracting tourists who value freedom of movement and wish to avoid crowds. The rental market is expanding, making this type of travel more accessible, although registrations of compact campers saw temporary dips in August and October 2024.

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.
