Son Hugo caravan residents accuse Palma city council of harassment

Residents living in caravans in the Son Hugo area of Palma de Mallorca claim they are being systematically pressured by local authorities and subjected to police raids. They argue that living in caravans is not a choice but the only affordable option due to soaring housing costs on the island. Many residents say they hold stable jobs in essential sectors of Mallorca's economy. They criticize the census methods used by police and demand a solution to the housing crisis rather than the removal of caravans.

Palma caravan dwellers move to other towns due to municipal pressure

Residents of Palma living in caravans have started moving to neighboring municipalities due to pressure from the city council. One of them, Daniel, after 14 years in Mallorca and a divorce, moved to Marratxí, where he says the level of coexistence is better and there is less pressure. He notes that in settlements with dozens of caravans, police appear if a few people break the rules. Another resident, Javier, criticizes councilor Mercedes Celeste's statements that caravans are unwelcome in the Balearic Islands and reminds that they are protected by DGT directive 8V74.

Malaga mayor calls caravan settlement a long-standing issue, asks for understanding

Malaga Mayor Francisco de la Torre stated that the informal caravan settlement in the Sacaba area is a long-unresolved problem and called for understanding from all parties. He noted that the city is exploring the possibility of establishing a cheap campsite within the municipality but lacks suitable public land. Opposition parties PSOE and Con Málaga criticized the eviction plans, demanding housing solutions for families who, they argue, are victims of high rental prices and a city model that displaces residents.

Family Motorhome Trips from Zaragoza: Routes in Aragon with Kids

The article highlights the benefits of traveling by motorhome or camper van with children in Aragon. Key advantages include flexible schedules, no hotel dependency, and cost savings for large families. Three routes are suggested: Monasterio de Piedra (waterfalls, 110–120 km from Zaragoza), the Pyrenees (Tena and Ordesa valleys), and Dinópolis in Teruel (dinosaur park, 175 km). Practical tips include limiting driving to 2 hours with a break, using designated service areas, avoiding overnight parking in national parks, and carrying cash.

Lleida remains one of the few Spanish provincial capitals without a motorhome area or campsite

The city of Lleida (Catalonia) lacks both a public motorhome service area and a campsite within its municipal boundaries. According to the author, this undermines the city's tourism potential and economic benefits from the growing motorhome travel segment. The lack of infrastructure leads to unauthorized parking and public space management issues.
