Spain's traffic directorate has issued a new instruction regarding the parking of motorhomes and camper vans. This is in response to a motion approved by Congress in October 2020 which called for a study to be carried out to analyse regulations. The motion was itself partly motivated by the increased use of motorhomes during the pandemic.
Fines announced for parking motorhomes by the sea
In the Balearics there aren't specific regulations

OMG! Again a bunch of mumble jumble from our great Balearic government. Fan or no fan, these vehicles pay there road taxes and therefore have a right to park in public parking spaces. I still see these street terraces taken up parking spaces that we pay taxes for..! That makes me angry 😡 So I hope our great politicians here in Mallorca will get there poop together and make some good decisions this time.
Very timely article as I just witnessed an angry confrontation between a frontline homeowner and a camper driver. Camper was huge and completely blocking the owner's sea view. Owners must take precedence in these situation since they pay property taxes and the like while the camper drivers throw out their dirty waste water into the street and their litter into refuse bins to be collected by the council all without a cent out of their pockets. Designated camper parks are the solution with a ban on street parking of campers overnight.
No I do not understand paying large amounts of money for these vehicles. When that money could pay for good Hotels where ever they want to go.!!! Hoteliers are losing business from these Mobile People. Plus they are becoming an eyesore and a problem for parking. Clearance of their rubbish and Chemical Toilets must be a health concern.
