Look … they are not harming you; the Ayuntamiento are turning a blind eye, as are the police. Clearly they recognise that it’s good for the local economy … why are you getting so upset about it? Live and let live Biggles, they are not harming you or your way of life, they are not bloc...

...king access to the beach or any facilities - I know this for certain because I moved to the Palomares end of Vera Playa in August - in fact I am right on the border of Palomares close to the Repsol garage so I get clear view of the multitudes of camper vans.
And they are not a permanent fixture, they come, they go, and then someone else comes - and they likely all spend money at the Repsol, at Monika’s, with Paco for Fruit and Veg, in Palomares itself. They are good for the local economy and I suggest that is why the “no overnight parking” is not strictly enforced - certainly not in the “off” season when every visiting €€€ will be most welcome to local businesses
I agree with you. Looks like you may be next door neighbours with Biggles though lol. Just be on the lookout for a guy who walks his dog from his car 🤪 and looks like Victor Meldrew. Sorry Biggles but it is funny.

Making assumptions again. For whatever reason you just don’t like them and are vainly trying to justify your prejudice with bluster and false assumption. Shame on you.
live and let live; and a quote from a book I don’t myself follow, but holds true nonetheless - “judge not, lest ye yourself be judged”. Probably a good one to remember when spluttering about others breaking the law, hmmm?...

False assumptions,maybe you would like to check on the number of vans down there?They are clearly breaking the local bylaws with their presence.They are unsigtly blots on the landscape.The official campsites are there for a reason....

To you, maybe they are an “unsightly blots on the landscape”, but to the community, they are a great source of income, of which you too will benefit.
As for the ‘official campsites’, have they elcted you to represent them and complain on their behalf, or are you just mentioning them to add support to your prejudices?

Fly tipping is everywhere when there is no residence in sight and in bins that are not viewable from residences. Local bins have furniture, sinks and other items that may be of some use left at one side and most of it goes before the bin men arrive. The nearest Punto Limpio I have found is in Huercal-Overa unless someone can inform me of one nearer, so people know to leave these things in certain places where they get cleared away. Maybe you should make them a sign and direct them to where the rubbish should go?
Campervan owners know the code about waste and know where the waste toilet points are etc and do not form a nuisance. The law is for the police to exercise when they see a need, across Spain. However, Spain is moving in the direction of France where known places are often equipped with water and toilet facilities. Why? As Darrio says they add to the local tourist economy, they do not pollute and I can't imagine anyone with the kind of money spent on these machines being fly tippers?
You will be complaining about unsightly tourists sunbathing on the beach next, spoiling nature?
