In Brief

The municipality of Ibiza has completed the dismantling of an illegal caravan settlement in the Sa Joveria area. Most residents left voluntarily, fearing fines. About ten caravans were towed to a municipal lot.

The municipality of Ibiza has completed the dismantling of an illegal caravan settlement in the Sa Joveria area, where dozens of people without access to housing on the island were living.

In the morning, the access road was blocked by garbage trucks, and later by a police car, to prevent residents from returning. Most occupants paid rent for their caravans but chose to leave voluntarily, fearing fines and lawsuits. Municipal services used cranes to remove about ten remaining caravans to a municipal lot.

According to the city council, between 10 and 12 people did not know where to move at the time of removal; social services offered to pay for the first month's rent or a deposit for a room. Witnesses reported that residents scattered to other parking lots.

Ibiza City Council gives 48 hours for caravans in sa Jovería to leave the area

The municipality of Ibiza has notified caravan dwellers in the sa Jovería area to vacate within 48 hours or face vehicle removal by municipal services. Local police posted warnings on each caravan, citing violations of the municipal traffic and road safety ordinance. Earlier, a court-ordered eviction of an illegal settlement dismantled makeshift shelters and tents but left caravans untouched as they were not part of that proceeding. Residents, including families with young children, express desperation due to lack of affordable housing, noting that a single room rents for €900 while salaries average €1,300.

Ibiza City Council launches offensive against caravans in sa Joveria

The Ibiza City Council has begun the process of evicting owners of approximately 30 caravans parked on a lot in sa Joveria, behind the Can Misses hospital. Authorities affixed warnings to the vehicles stating they will be removed within 48 hours for violating municipal traffic regulations and road safety laws. The council insists this is not an eviction but an identification and tracking of abandoned vehicles, offering owners the chance to leave voluntarily to avoid fines and legal proceedings. Previously, on April 21, tents and makeshift shelters were cleared from the same site, which last summer reached a record 500 residents and 200 shacks.

Arcos resident with reduced mobility lives in unfit caravan

Jesús Muriana, a resident of Arcos with reduced mobility, has been living in an old caravan on a plot without basic hygiene since February 2025. The municipality is processing a adapted home in Barrio Bajo, but the property still lacks a habitability certificate. Due to a back operation scheduled for September, Muriana is seeking a second-hand caravan with a separate bedroom to recover. He appeals to neighbours for help to raise €7,000, as the bank denied a loan without a guarantor.
