In Brief

The Valencian Government has granted subsidies to 22 municipalities at risk of depopulation to create or upgrade motorhome service points. The total aid amounts to €542,035.

The Vice-Presidency and Ministry of the Presidency of the Generalitat Valenciana has allocated €542,035 to 22 municipalities in the provinces of Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante for the creation or modernization of motorhome service points. The funds are intended for the construction of new service areas, renovation of existing ones, and site preparation, including project work.

The service points include infrastructure for discharging grey and black water, as well as supplying drinking water. The initiative aims to attract motorhome travelers, boost the economy of small towns, and promote sustainable tourism.

According to the Motorhome Owners Association, the Valencian Community has only 12 year-round public overnight parking areas, causing a shortage, especially during holidays. Registrations of new motorhomes and campers in March increased by 26.4% compared to the previous year, reaching 785 units.

Economist Páez warns about caravans: 'The law does not look at the structure, it looks at the use'

Economist José María Páez stated that placing a caravan on agricultural land for permanent residence is illegal, even if it has wheels or is not anchored. The law assesses not the type of structure but its use: if the caravan is used as a home (continuous living, connection to utilities), it is considered a violation. Offenders face fines up to €30,000 and forced removal. Registering the caravan as a residence does not legalize the situation.

Over 100 residents of Villas Caravaning in Cartagena to lose water supply from July 1

The Socialist Group warns that more than 100 families living in Villas Caravaning in Cartagena will lose access to drinking water from July 1 due to a debt of €732,166 owed to Veolia (formerly Hidrogea). The homeowners' association cannot meet the demanded payment of €200,000 upfront plus €130,000 monthly, with only €16,846 in available funds. Outstanding member fees total €582,324. Socialists urge the local government to apply the Social Water Fund, noting that Spain's government has extended the ban on cutting off water for vulnerable consumers until December 31.
