Ibiza demolishes illegal caravan settlement: sixth eviction since 2024
Original source: Diario de Ibiza

In Brief

Ibiza has begun demolishing an illegal settlement where up to 80 people lived in caravans, tents and shacks. It is the sixth eviction since 2024 amid a housing crisis that has lasted over a decade.

Ibiza has begun demolishing an illegal settlement where up to 80 people lived in caravans, tents and shacks. The eviction is based on a court order obtained by the company Inmo Sirenis and two other landowners. This is the sixth eviction since 2024 amid a housing crisis on the island that has lasted more than ten years.

Resident Julio Lambaré said: "People who rent out housing abuse you; you want to wash a pot and they charge you, they don't let you cook." Earlier, pensioner Chema left Ibiza after 30 years on the island because he could no longer afford rent. Authorities impose fines of up to 20,000 euros for living in caravans, while around 1,200 workers are forced to live this way due to high housing costs.
