Definitely also it's Easter, and the police are making the most of it. 80 euro fine plus release fee for those clamped.Delayed ship maybe ?
I think there was a cancellation on uk ferry. However we came over on Sunday/Monday and used the Elephant aire. It was overflowing with vans squeezed in every gap. Mostly Spanish vans.Delayed ship maybe ?

Try to get the pics uploaded. I have contemplated using this aire a number times, but have always chickened out with worries about turning up and finding it full.The aire takes only a limited number, about 30. Last night there were some 100 vans using the roadside parking. Today the police were ticketing EU vans and clamping UK vans.
Have pics but for some reason they won't upload
Yep, we have been stuck here since 27/03. Due out tomorrow 31/03.I think there was a cancellation on uk ferry. However we came over on Sunday/Monday and used the Elephant aire. It was overflowing with vans squeezed in every gap. Mostly Spanish vans.
when there is a problem at Dover with ferries and artics are backed-up on the Motorway .. the police render assistance .. they don't start clamping and fining ..today the police were ticketing EU vans and clamping UK vans.

I tend to agree.when there is a problem at Dover with ferries and artics are backed-up on the Motorway .. the police render assistance .. they don't start clamping and fining ..
seems to me the Spanish police, rather than helping to ease the backup by assisting with parking, they are just piling on more misery and cashing in..
that's how it looks to me .. maybe there is another reason..

I would have ANPR at the borders and track anyone of them down that stays more than 6 months without declaringI would vote to Clamp every motorhome that arrives in Spain from France. Germany or other neighbouring country...this would ease the congestion on the Costas every winter, and allow us residents and citizens of Spain to have a bit of freedom again...Only Joking...
A mammoth task to catch those sort of numbers....I would have ANPR at the borders and track anyone of them down that stays more than 6 months without declaring

spoil sportSo ANPR cameras at every road into France, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar? And cross-checked over a whole six-month period for each vehicle?
If not our last trip to Santander which was 2 days before we left by a mountain road into the French Pyrenees would show our MH as still in Spain, although we have never been back in 5+ years.
Not workable I think, Trevor.
If true that is in a lovely area and I would be pleased to be able to use it.It seems the Santander council is preparing a new parking for motorhomes, in the Mataleñas area.
Could be open next summer.
To be precise, this will be the location of the future parquing.If true that is in a lovely area and I would be pleased to be able to use it.
