The joy of Free camping?

The bay of La Azohia

Having dragged ourselves away from the Camperstop at Totana we headed back to the coast and the huge gravel area opposite the beach at La Azohia, it's one of our favourite places to free camp as you can park up almost anywhere and have a great view of the sea and the gorgeous bay with the mountains in the background.
We always love it here, it's not overcommercialised or spoilt by a multitude of high rise hotels, there is also an abundance of cycle rides and walking routes nearby (also a Mercadona, Lidl, Aldi and other supermarkets close by at Puerto de Mazarron - this is an added bonus for us discerning shoppers!)

If this all sounds too good to be true, well it is. The truth is this lovely area is spoilt by its popularity with the touring motohomers of all nationalities and the ill feeling it causes to the local community (the people who complain the loudest are the Ex-pats not so much the Spanish locals) The land on which we all park is private land and undisputed, but we all need water and a place to empty our grey and black waste. The motohomers are accused of stealing the water from the beach taps or emptying their waste inappropriately.

One member of a Motohome forum even called the motorhomers 'Scum'. Whilst parked up there we often see passersby stopping, staring, pointing and obviously talking about the many motohomers parked up on what is just a large piece of wasteland. But we are all spending our Euros in the local businesses, most of us are respectable retired folk, we don't have wild parties and there is not so much as a toffee wrapper left on the ground, all our waste is disposed of appropriately.
But whenever we are here we get an uneasy feeling of not being welcome - apart from by the local businesses, restaurants and especially the Spar shop who must thrive on our business!
It's just an unfortunate thing that the number of motorhomers overwintering on the Spanish costas is increasing every year and we can't spread ourselves thinly enough not to be constituted to be a nuisance to some.
It's a controversial issue, there are two sides to it. What needs to happen is for the Spanish to welcome the many motorhomers and provide more facilities to accommodate them - designated areas to park with services provided thereby bringing an added boost to the Spanish economy. What better way to utilise all the empty space they have?  What do you think?
