Málaga mayor expects caravans to leave Sacaba voluntarily, seeks campsite

In Brief

Mayor Francisco de la Torre hopes caravans will voluntarily leave Sacaba after signs and access restrictions. He ordered a search for a campsite, while 140 families await eviction on July 7.

The mayor of Málaga, Francisco de la Torre, said he hopes caravans will voluntarily leave the Sacaba area after the installation of no-parking signs and future access restrictions. He cited neighbor complaints about coexistence, hygiene, and safety issues. Most motorhomes are on private land, and the municipality has called on owners to resolve the situation.

City authorities have been blocking access since July 7 to a private plot on Camino de la Térmica, where dozens of caravans, campervans, and tents have gathered. Police have notified those present to remove their vehicles by July 7. 140 families in the Sacaba Beach settlement are awaiting eviction scheduled for July 7 and have been on site since early morning, hoping for dialogue.

De la Torre has instructed municipal staff to find a site for a caravan campsite, which could be implemented by both municipal and private efforts. He acknowledged that both tourist interest and a housing problem lie behind the situation and promised to find a solution in cooperation with the private sector. Deputy spokesperson for the Con Málaga municipal group, Toni Morillas, demanded dialogue and negotiation from the mayor's office, noting that the housing crisis is forcing more people to live in their vehicles. Rafael Sanchís, spokesperson for the group 'Sacaba no se toca', said residents are not asking for free housing but simply want to stay in the city and continue contributing to its life.

Concentration of Motorhomes on Avenida Carlos III in Toledo

During Holy Week, up to fifty motorhomes are parked on Avenida Carlos III in Toledo, despite a designated area being available. The city council set up a temporary zone at the La Peraleda exhibition center with potable water and wastewater disposal points, plus a shuttle bus to the historic center for €1.40. Authorities are recording license plates of vehicles parked outside the designated area and searching for a location for permanent infrastructure, as the current one operates only during holidays.

Toledo plans regulated motorhome parking with minimal intervention

The Toledo City Council has commissioned a technical pre-project for a regulated motorhome parking area. The plan mandates a 'light, reversible, and non-invasive' approach, including a 20 cm layer of natural gravel and demountable installations to avoid damaging the archaeological subsurface. The aim is to address the growing issue of motorhomes parking in residential areas and green spaces.

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.

Developer seeks permit for motorhome campsite near Rambla Salada in Albatera

A developer has applied to the regional government for a declaration of community interest (DIC) to build a campsite for motorhomes and camper vans in La Dehesa de Albatera. The 9,339-square-meter plot, on non-developable land, would include 48 pitches, capacity for 144 people, a pool, bar, and green area. The project requires a lengthy administrative process because the land is classified as common non-urbanizable, with the final decision resting with the regional government. The site is in a zone with geomorphological flood risk, which could affect approval.
