Spanish Civil Guard arrested a 31-33-year-old Real Sociedad fan for dangerous driving. He and two other vans chased a motorhome with Atlético Madrid fans after the Copa del Rey final. The video of the incident went viral.

The Spanish Civil Guard has arrested a Real Sociedad fan on suspicion of dangerous driving. The incident occurred on April 19-20, 2026, on the A-66 highway near Almendralejo (Badajoz) after the Copa del Rey final between Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad.

According to the investigation, three vans with Real Sociedad fans surrounded a motorhome carrying Atlético Madrid supporters, blocking its movement and performing dangerous maneuvers. One passenger opened the side door while driving, demanding the motorhome stop. The motorhome contained fans with children. The incident lasted about ten minutes and, according to witness testimony, was related to a Spanish flag sticker on the Atlético fans' vehicle.

Video of the maneuvers, posted on social media, allowed authorities to identify the vehicle. The arrested individual is a 31-33-year-old man, a resident of Lazkao (Gipuzkoa). Earlier reports mentioned two arrests, but the government delegation clarified that information was premature and the investigation continues. The case is being handled by the court in Almendralejo.

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.
