Sagulpa

What Sagulpa does

Sagulpa (Sociedad Municipal de Aparcamientos de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, S.A.) is a wholly-owned municipal mercantile company constituted in 1993 by the Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to study, regulate, construct, and operate parking facilities within the municipality. Following a 2001 partial spin-off that separated its urban management functions into GEURSA, Sagulpa's mandate narrowed to parking, towing, and mobility services, formalized in 2008 when it was designated a "medio propio y servicio técnico" of the municipality. The company operates public parking facilities (eight named sites including Metropol, Nuevos Juzgados, and Rincón), regulated on-street parking (Zona Azul for short-term rotation and Zona Verde for residents), vehicle towing and municipal deposit services, and the MOXSI bicycle/electric scooter sharing network in collaboration with the city's bike-share operator.

The company monetizes primarily through transaction fees on regulated parking (collected via physical STRADA meters and the LPA Park mobile app, which integrates PayPal, Visa, and Bizum payment), annual subscription fees for resident green-zone permits, and fees from vehicle towing and custody. It serves commuters and visitors, city residents, self-employed workers with specific parking entitlements, and electric vehicle owners eligible for fee exemptions. Supporting infrastructure includes a Ventanilla Virtual digital portal for administrative procedures and a real-time sensorization network monitoring 3,488 regulated parking spots with live occupancy data displayed publicly on the Sagulpa website.

Sagulpa's technology stack centers on the LPA Park mobile application (iOS/Android) featuring ticket purchase, balance management, and an AI Mode that learns user habits to suggest parking optimizations. The 2026 launch of Bettair smart air quality and noise sensors extends the company's scope into environmental monitoring for the city's Low Emission Zone. The company maintains ISO 14064-verified carbon footprint reporting (registered with MITECO), 100% renewable electricity certification, and an extensive corporate social responsibility program that has allocated over €767,000 to 323 social projects since 2018. Headcount is 51-100 employees, all based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.

Comparable for parking facility management, technology platforms (Telpark app), and customer experience benchmarks, but with a broader private commercial footprint.
• Empark: One of the largest private parking operators in Spain and Europe, managing thousands of off-street facilities across multiple countries. Comparable as a competitor / benchmark for facility operations at scale, but operates privately and across geographies rather than as a single-city municipal monopoly.

Emerging players

• EasyPark Group: European mobile parking payment platform operating across multiple Spanish cities including Madrid and Barcelona. Comparable as a digital parking app competitor with multi-city reach, though it focuses on the software layer rather than operating physical infrastructure.
