Motorhome owner illegally retrieves vehicle from police impound on Costa del Sol

In Torremolinos, a man illegally retrieved his motorhome from a secured police impound lot. Police had confiscated the vehicle on March 17 after stopping the driver with a blood alcohol level of approximately 1.7‰, and finding the vehicle lacked mandatory inspection and insurance. The following day, the owner broke the gate lock and dismantled part of the fence to remove the vehicle, leading to his arrest on suspicion of taking the law into his own hands.

Motorhomes exacerbate parking situation and fray nerves of residents in Fuengirola

Authorities in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol are grappling with the issue of long-term motorhome parking, which is causing discontent among local residents. The number of motorhomes staying in one spot for several days or weeks has increased significantly, particularly in the Feria area, exacerbating the parking shortage in the densely populated city. The opposition group Vox has demanded urgent action at the March plenary session of the city council to stop this practice.

Discontent in Fuengirola over motorhomes occupying fairground parking

The EuroWeekly publication reports growing discontent among residents of Fuengirola over the fairground parking lot, which has been filled with motorhomes and caravans for months. According to the report, the parking lot has become an unofficial free camping area, with vehicles staying for weeks, leading to a shortage of parking spaces and waste management issues. Similar tensions have been reported in other Costa del Sol towns like Benalmádena and Torrox. The Fuengirola city council has not yet announced concrete measures to address the situation.

Test Drive: Toyota Proace Max Camper Version More Suited for Work Than Leisure

The Toyota Proace Max conversion by Tamlans is a utilitarian van with basic camping equipment, not a full-fledged motorhome. The modification includes insulation, a 2 kW heater, an auxiliary battery, a refrigerator, and a microwave, along with six seats and a transverse sleeping berth. The 2.5-meter height limits parking, and noise levels on the highway are high.
