Hello everyone!
I am a spanish MH user.The reason for registering here, is to warn all those who have thought about coming to Spain, the problems that we are taking the MH users in Santander.The council has banned parking MH throughout the municipality, so that every camper parked, will be blocked, withdrawn by a crane and fined.
We hope to see you in Spain, but prevents the city of Santander.
A hug

Good Morning. I send my greetings to every body . I wanted to warn our English and all abroad Motorhome owners from the undiscriminated persecution we are suffering in the Spanish city of Santander. Many Motorhomes have been towed away and everybody who parks in any part of the city is fined.We would not like that this attitude perjudicates the tourism in other parts of Spain. We especially warn anyone who might be coming on the ferryboat. Kind regards . Robert.

This is a very serious problem, a disaster for the m/h people of Santander and it will be a greater disaster if this is copied throughout Spain.

robemkro, LOLO do you know why the city fathers have taken this step and is it a permanent one, i have never seen that much wild camping when i have visited Santander and what do the residents have to do so as to be able to park their own m/hs up securely.

So from now on we will have to drive out of the city after we get off the ferry, will we not be able to park up and spend time and money in the city, even if we pay a fee for parking, is this correct.

Bob

hmm...

"excepto turismos" translates to "except tourism" in my basic Spanish (and in babelfish), so what is that supposed to mean?

Maybe it's on some streets only?

one of the team who is adept in these things is trying to re-size the pics, don Laughing


A possibility is that the local authority is trying to remove the vehicles that are parked up permanently (by locals, and "white vans"?) and the "excepto turismos" should mean tourist visitors excluded?

Hi Mike,

One of the members of O & A lives in Spain and claims A 'turismo' is a family car.

We will have to wait for conformation from someone else but it would make sense given the sign.
