There is an Update on Brittanty Ferries Website
Important Information :

The photographs were not taken this year but 2008.
This is totally illegal. The documents I have uploaded are to help avoid this but the area of "Cantabria" is completely hostile towards Motorhome vehicles ... and therefore their occupants ... which is another reason for the Complaint lodged with the EU.
I came back via Santander on 16 August and had to stop overnight
I pulled off the autopista A8 at Orinon (El Pontarron de Guriezo) onto the N634, about 40 minutes from Santander, and went down to the car park on the beach
There is a campsite but I was quite late having driven from Barcelona and check in had closed
There were 6 other motorhomes there overnight, French, German and Spanish all wild camping. There were "no over nightstay" notices
There are lots of small beaches and viewing points on the N 634 old coast road and no one seems to mind about over night stays at the more remote ones. Don't try it on the promenade at the bigger resorts however
There are also lots of sites which happily take camper vans. NB the N634 road is really windy and up and down but the views are spectacular
its just like UK, use discretion, don't rub the locals noses in it, don't make noise or leave a mess.
At least 2 of the overnighters joined me on the boat. I pitched up to the ferry terminal at 10.00 on the dot, checked in and waited and was first private vehicle on and first off at Portsmouth enabling me to get up to Heysham and the midnight boat home instaed of having to overnight in England!
Is this still an issue in Santander? We will be there in July visiting a local family who own a restaurant near the sea. Our intention is to try to stay in Camping Cabo Mayor but they do not take advance bookings. We really want to avoid a big fine as soon as we arrive!
