The Zestoa city council has finished painting parking spaces for motorhomes and camper vans in the Estación industrial estate. From Friday evening, parking is provisionally available in the blue zone and spots 9–18 of the green zone. Cars and caravans are not allowed. Once all procedures are completed, the area will operate 24/7 with a 72-hour limit and overnight stay permitted, initially free of charge. A wastewater dump point and a time-control machine will be installed, with police patrols to prevent abuse. There are 22 spaces for local motorhomes.
A trend for stealth campers — vans externally indistinguishable from commercial vehicles — is growing in Europe and the US. These vehicles have no side windows, extra lights, awnings, or vinyl decals, but inside they are equipped with a bed, kitchen, and toilet. In Spain, sleeping inside a properly parked camper is legal as long as no external elements are deployed, but local restrictions in Galicia and the Balearic Islands are tightening. A key camouflage element is an opaque bulkhead behind the front seats that hides the living area.
