Two motorhome parking projects in Basque Country: height limit and redesign
Original source: El Diario Vasco

In Brief

A new parking lot in Landa at the Ulíbarri-Gamboa reservoir restricts tall motorhomes due to a solar panel canopy. In San Sebastián, the Igara parking project will be modified after the provincial council's rejection.

Landa: height restriction

The new motorhome parking lot at the Ulíbarri-Gamboa reservoir in Landa, not yet open to the public, has a height limit of 3.10 metres due to a solar panel canopy. This excludes capuchin and large integral motorhomes, as well as models with additional roof equipment. The parking lot has 288 spaces, 25 reserved for motorhomes, with water filling and waste disposal points. The investment by the province of Álava was 951,085 euros.

Igara: project to be redesigned

The municipality of San Sebastián is not abandoning plans for a motorhome parking lot in the Igara area, despite the provincial council's refusal to declare the project of public interest. Authorities are preparing changes to the project to convince the administration of the need for the facility to manage tourist flow, which has caused complaints from residents and drivers.

Gipuzkoa Provincial Council rejects motorhome parking project in Igara

The Department of Territorial Planning of Gipuzkoa denied the declaration of 'public interest' for a private motorhome parking project in the Igara area on non-developable land. The resolution states that neither sectoral legislation nor territorial planning considers such a facility to be of public interest, and that similar services can be located in urban areas, as already done in Donostia. The project included 80 spaces with water supply and gray/black water disposal, but authorities insist that placement on non-developable land requires a direct functional link to rural areas, which is not the case here.

Gijón to install barriers to block motorhomes from parking lots

The Gijón City Council is planning to install height-restriction arches at the entrances to major city-center parking lots to prevent motorhomes from parking. The barriers will limit access to vehicles under 2.2 meters tall, reserving spaces for cars with higher turnover. This extends a measure implemented two years ago in the El Rinconín area.

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.
