Original source: directoalpaladar.com

Authorities on Ibiza evicted about 200 people from makeshift settlements in Sa Joveria and Can Misses. Most were tourism workers unable to afford local rents (a room costs from €1,000/month). Simultaneously, the island enforced Law 5/2024 restricting motorhome and caravan parking to authorized campsites, which are scarce and expensive.

Housing crisis in Ibiza forces 200 workers to live in campers, now evicted

Ibiza is evicting about 200 people living in campers in settlements like Sa Joveria and Can Misses. These are employed workers unable to afford housing: a room costs over €1,000 per month, an apartment around €2,100, while many salaries are below €1,800. Law 5/2024 requires a camping reservation for camper living, but the island has only five campsites, booked months ahead. Social groups say evictions don't solve the problem, just displace it, as the island relies on workers without homes.

Ibiza evicts caravan settlements with hundreds of tenants. The problem is who lives there: workers with no alternative

Ibiza has intensified evictions of illegal settlements where hundreds of people live in caravans, vans, and shacks. On April 21, police cleared Sa Joveria, the island's largest such settlement, which housed over 130 people. On April 29, a similar operation took place at Can Misses, home to 70–80 residents. Most evicted are hospitality and construction workers earning up to €1,600 per month, who cannot afford rental housing: the cheapest apartment (32 m²) costs €799 in winter.

Ibiza evicts 200 people living in campers and closes the door to motorhomes

Ibiza has begun evicting about 200 people from illegal settlements in Sa Joveria and Can Misses. Most are service workers who cannot afford rent (from €1,000 for a room) on salaries up to €1,800. Authorities enforce Law 5/2024, requiring non-residents to have a campsite booking to enter, and the Rural Land Law, enabling summary evictions. Drones are used to detect habitation in forests, and in urban areas the 24-hour rule applies: any sign of living in a vehicle leads to fines.

Retired Couple from Mallorca Shares Reality of Living in a Motorhome: Freedom and Savings vs. Cramped Quarters

A retired couple from Mallorca has been living in a motorhome of about 10 square meters for five years. They save around 1,400 euros per month, cap fuel spending at 700 euros, and rely on solar panels for energy independence. However, the lack of space, the need for constant joint decisions, and technical breakdowns create tension in their relationship. The couple notes that Mallorca's humid climate was difficult for one of them, and the drier air during travels improved their well-being.

Spanish man shares costs of living in a camper van

Jesús, creator of the Viaja en tribu project, shared his experience of living in a six-meter camper van. His monthly expenses range from 300 to 500 euros, half the cost of maintaining an apartment. He noted that after selling his flat, his costs decreased, and life on wheels helped him overcome anxiety and depression. Jesús also warned about rising camper prices: his Fiat Ducato model increased from 50,000 to 80,000 euros.

Motorhome boom reaches Galicia amid new areas and coastal restrictions

Hundreds of motorhomes are traveling Galicia's roads this summer, reflecting a boom in such vehicles despite local restrictions. The Galician Motorhome Association (AGA), with about 800 members, says the more than 200 public areas are insufficient due to increasing vehicle numbers. From October 1, a reform of traffic regulations will distinguish between parking and camping. Municipalities like Vigo, O Grove, and Cangas de Morrazo have imposed restrictions on parking, overnight stays, and vehicle dimensions.
