To start ... 3 maxims about Galicia in a motorhome
1 Be responsible in a motorhome: do not overcrowd, you see in low season or in interior parts of Galicia
Before going to Galicia by motorhome you should know that Galicia by motorhome in summer and mainly on the coast is very crowded in recent years. That and that the parking spaces are sometimes very small makes the best time to go to Galicia in a motorhome is always out of high season, that is, outside of July and August, which is when the coastal points are overcrowded above all.
If you're traveling in a motorhome in July and August, here's a recommendation : always stay in campsites or motorhome areas and get around if possible by motorbike or small rental car.
2 Under no circumstances camp, be responsible, wild camping is totally prohibited
Camping is prohibited in all of Spain, but Galicia also has protected natural areas, for which all the more reason we must be the most respectful of the environment.
We know that the vigilance by the civil guard and local police is maximum before the encampments and that they are fined 200 euros for it. So, do not camp and do not spend the night in the forbidden places.
REMEMBER, CAMPING IS OUT OF THE PERIMETER OF YOUR VEHICLE (take out a table and chairs, awning, open windows, spend more than 72 hours in the same place ...).
