Spain: Motorhome parking disputes in Santander, Siero and Cuntis
Original source: Diario de Arousa

In Brief

Santander cancels a 30-space lot in Mataleñas, Las Llamas awaits new management. Siero's PP demands a zone in La Pola, Cuntis plans a site on Rúa da Presiña.

Spanish municipalities are debating motorhome parking. In Santander, a planned 30-space lot in Mataleñas was cancelled due to local protests. The municipality has not yet found a management company for the existing Las Llamas lot to introduce fees, and rules out new such facilities in the city.

In Siero, the People's Party demands a motorhome zone in the La Pola periurban park. A party spokesperson said refusal would be discriminatory, as neighboring Lugones already has a similar new zone. Lugones has 30 regulated spaces built for 165 thousand euros, while Pola de Siero's parking is insufficient and unattractive to tourists. The party will point to available municipal land over 21,000 m² and present a proposal at the next plenary session.

In Cuntis, the municipality is studying the possibility of creating a motorhome zone. A site on Rúa da Presiña is being considered, already used as parking and with water access, a necessary condition.

They say their weekly expenses are around €70, with main costs being motorhome insurance, mobile phones, butane and diesel. They spent €1,631 on converting the vehicle themselves, compared with a quote of more than €3,000 from a workshop. The couple installed solar panels to generate their own electricity.
