Tenerife opens free caravan area in Arona with waste dumping and water
Original source: Atlántico Hoy

In Brief

The Cabildo de Tenerife invested €3.5 million to convert the Malpaso waste station into a logistics hub, including a free caravan service area with grey/black water dumping and drinking water.

A new free caravan area has opened in the municipality of Arona, located at the waste reception point. The facility allows dumping grey and black water, refilling drinking water, and connecting to electricity. The Cabildo de Tenerife invested €3.5 million in the project.

The measure aims to prevent uncontrolled discharges in protected areas and is part of a strategy to adapt the waste reception network to the growing number of motorhomes on the island. Authorities plan to extend this model to other waste reception points, keeping the service free.

In 2025, the station processed 161,925 tonnes of waste, and the reception point was visited by 29,000 users. The new infrastructure will reduce truck trips by up to 995 per year.

Salinas residents demand ban on caravan parking in urban area

Residents of Salinas are demanding that the Castrillón council ban caravan parking in urban areas, calling the situation unsustainable. The nighttime parking restriction from 00:00 to 08:00, introduced at the start of summer, has not solved the problem: caravans have moved from the grass to the asphalt, occupying parking spaces and obstructing traffic. The residents' association points to deteriorating sanitary conditions and calls for applying the model of Llanes or Laredo. The council cites regional bureaucracy: a plan to rent private plots for 50,000 euros is stalled due to a missing CUOTA report, and the San Juan de Nieva parking project has been deemed unviable.

Oseja de Sajambre plans motorhome area in Picos de Europa

The municipality of Oseja de Sajambre, on the Leonese side of the Picos de Europa National Park, has given initial approval to a project for a motorhome parking area, budgeted at 324,000 euros. The move responds to the growing popularity of motorhome and camper tourism in Spanish natural areas. The municipality is one of the main gateways to the park from León province and receives thousands of visitors each year.
