- PARKING itself is prohibited, not only sleeping: nothing needs to be set out
Ley 22/1988 de Costas art. 33.5 y 97
«Quedarán prohibidos el estacionamiento y la circulación no autorizada de vehículos, así como los campamentos y acampadas.»
These rules cover part of the municipality, not all of it. A municipal by-law may forbid what the State allows, but it may not allow what the State forbids.
The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Arenys de Mar is a small municipality measuring 4 by 3 kilometres. It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. It borders 5 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

- sleeping inside with everything packed away is PARKING, not camping: it is not a defined offence
- stabilising legs: forbidden, they turn parking into camping
- awning, table, chairs, hanging out washing, discharging waste water: camping
Reglamento General de Circulación; Ley 7/1985; Ley 42/2007 art. RGC, sin el apartado 92.4 (se añade el 1-10-2026) · verified on 2026-08-08
«Se añade el apartado 4, con efectos de 1 de octubre de 2026, por el art. único.15 del Real Decreto 518/2026, de 24 de junio»
On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.

Signage on site and the local authority prevail. This reproduces the written rule as of the date indicated: it is neither legal advice nor an authorisation.
