Hope for Motorhome Fans: Will There Be a New Camping Hotspot in Cala Ratjada?
Original source: Mallorca Zeitung

Over the weekend (April 25–26), dozens of motorhomes and camper vans occupied the Gravera parking lot in Cala Ratjada (Mallorca) as part of an event coordinated with the Capdepera town hall. The lot, opened last summer as an alternative to the closed dune parking at Cala Agulla, is usually empty due to its distance from the beach. Participants used it as a base for local tourism without issues, according to transport and environment councilor Manuel Filgueiras. However, permanent camping is not planned: the site is closed at night, and infrastructure (electricity, toilet disposal) is not under discussion. Authorities will evaluate the experience and may allow similar events with prior approval.

The resort town of Schliersee in Germany has developed a plan to regulate motorhome parking. The concept involves designating five specific parking areas with infrastructure, banning parking elsewhere, and introducing overnight fees including a tourist tax. The final decision on the plan will be made at the municipal council meeting on February 24, 2026.

Residents of urbanizations near the Río Torrox lighthouse report dozens of motorhomes parked in the riverbed for weeks, despite a 24-hour parking limit. They cite illegal wastewater dumping, littering, and the use of vegetation as toilets, criticizing the inaction of local police and the Civil Guard. The conflict is linked to the post-pandemic boom in motorhome tourism, with the lack of specific infrastructure and stricter regulations in neighboring municipalities exacerbating the situation.
