In Brief

Basconcillos del Tozo opens a 12-pitch motorhome stop, while Tapia de Casariego reports nearly 7,000 overnight stays in its first year of automated management

Spain's motorhome infrastructure continues to expand. The municipality of Basconcillos del Tozo (Burgos) has opened a fully equipped motorhome parking area near the N-627 highway. The site offers 12 pitches, a rest area with tables and benches, and all necessary services. The project was driven by rising tourist numbers, partly due to the nearby Las Loras Geopark and the filming of the Netflix series "Lobo". Previously, travelers parked spontaneously near the sports complex, causing waste disposal issues.

Meanwhile, the municipal motorhome parking in Tapia de Casariego (Asturias) has reported results from its first year of automated management. From April 2025, it recorded 6,950 overnight stays, with revenue exceeding €31,600. The 59-pitch site attracted visitors from 36 countries, with an average stay of 1.69 nights. Automation, implemented in partnership with TripStop, improved occupancy control and reduced incidents.
