the protected area
IT DEPENDS
- The rules on permitted uses in each protected area are set out in its own Plan de Ordenación de los Recursos Naturales, approved by the autonomous community. That is where things are prohibited or permitted, and that is where one has to look.
- Ley 42/2007 does NOT classify sleeping in the vehicle overnight or camping as offences. Its art. 80 covers discharges, damage to habitats and the capture of species. The fine bands in art. 81 only come into play if the conduct falls within one of those cases.
Ley 42/2007, de 13 de diciembre, del Patrimonio Natural y de la Biodiversidad art. 36.1
«La declaración de los Parques y Reservas Naturales exigirá la previa elaboración y aprobación del correspondiente Plan de Ordenación de los Recursos Naturales de la zona.»
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.
