Axarquía opens areas for camping and motorhomes to encourage tourism
Original source: Sur in English

The Mancomunidad association of town halls of the Costa del Sol-Axarquía has, for the first time, compiled and digitised a list of over 20 camping and motorhome sites in the eastern part of Malaga province. The list includes locations in Vélez-Málaga, Torrox, Nerja, Rincón de la Victoria, and inland towns. The information has been added to the official Axarquía tourism website, distinguishing between campsites and overnight parking areas for motorhomes. Authorities hope this will reduce tourism seasonality and boost economic activity in rural areas.

Arcos resident with reduced mobility lives in unfit caravan

Jesús Muriana, a resident of Arcos with reduced mobility, has been living in an old caravan on a plot without basic hygiene since February 2025. The municipality is processing a adapted home in Barrio Bajo, but the property still lacks a habitability certificate. Due to a back operation scheduled for September, Muriana is seeking a second-hand caravan with a separate bedroom to recover. He appeals to neighbours for help to raise €7,000, as the bank denied a loan without a guarantor.

Santa María del Páramo aims for August opening of new campsite after electrical delays

The municipality of Santa María del Páramo (León) now targets an August opening for its new municipal campsite, after missing the initial June deadline due to delays in securing permanent electricity supply. The motorhome area could be finished by late July, but opening hinges on completing electrical installations. The campsite will feature 48 motorhome pitches, a tent area, toilets, showers, and a pool (likely to open later). Access and payments will be managed via a digital system, allowing 24/7 entry.
