Spain's Civil Guard detained a woman at the Tarajal border checkpoint in Ceuta trying to smuggle about 800 kg of hashish hidden in a specially equipped compartment of a motorhome. A court remanded her in custody; she faces up to 4 years in prison.

On April 13, 2026, at the Tarajal border crossing in Ceuta, officers of the Civil Guard detained a woman traveling alone in a motorhome. During a routine inspection, structural anomalies were detected in the vehicle, leading to the discovery of a specially constructed hidden compartment (false floor) containing approximately 800 kilograms of hashish.

Details of the operation

The detainee, the sole occupant of the motorhome, is suspected of a crime against public health. The drugs were seized, and the woman was arrested. The operation was part of standard border checks. According to investigators, the hideout was carefully designed to conceal the cargo.

Court decision

Later, a court in Ceuta ordered the suspect to be remanded in custody. According to judicial sources, she faces up to four years in prison on charges of drug trafficking. An investigation is underway to identify the entire drug trafficking network.

Gipuzkoa Provincial Council rejects motorhome parking project in Igara

The Department of Territorial Planning of Gipuzkoa denied the declaration of 'public interest' for a private motorhome parking project in the Igara area on non-developable land. The resolution states that neither sectoral legislation nor territorial planning considers such a facility to be of public interest, and that similar services can be located in urban areas, as already done in Donostia. The project included 80 spaces with water supply and gray/black water disposal, but authorities insist that placement on non-developable land requires a direct functional link to rural areas, which is not the case here.

BNG Monforte calls for expansion and improvement of motorhome area

The BNG party in Monforte will present a motion at the next municipal plenary session requesting the expansion and upgrade of the existing motorhome area. The current facility, with about 20 spaces, is considered insufficient given the growth of motorhome tourism and the town's role as the capital of the Ribeira Sacra region. The party highlights a lack of basic services such as water supply, dump station, lighting, and electrical hookups, which limits visitor stays. According to BNG, inaction would mean losing economic opportunities, as some visitors are forced to move to other municipalities due to lack of space or adequate services.
