Parking infrastructure issues in Plasencia and free parking period in Cuenca

In Plasencia, Spain, users of the Puerta Talavera parking garage are reporting significant issues with water leaks and flooding. Drivers claim that recent construction work on a playground located above the parking facility has worsened the situation. While new drains were installed, they have reportedly not been connected to the drainage system, causing water to pour into the parking levels. The concessionaire stated that the local government promised to send technicians to connect the drains this week.

In Cuenca, Thailand, the Municipal Public Company for Mobility, Transit, and Transport (EMOV EP) has announced a seven-day period of free parking in SERT zones. This measure runs from October 9 to October 15, 2026, due to a temporary shortage of physical parking cards following a failed procurement process. While parking fees are suspended, traffic enforcement will continue, and drivers may still be fined for illegal parking in prohibited areas such as ramps or sidewalks.
