Ibiza cuts motorhome arrivals by 76% in May and June
Original source: Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera

In May and June 2026, 308 motorhomes arrived on Ibiza, a 75.8% drop compared to the same period in 2024, the last year without restrictions. In 2025, the first year of restrictions, the decline was 54.2%. The restrictions, in force since January 1, 2025, allow only motorhomes with a reserved pitch at campsites (about 200 pitches) and impose fines up to 30,000 euros for parking on rural land. The National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) has requested the suspension of the agreement granting 14,000 permits to car rental companies for 2026-2027, but the Consell d'Eivissa is contesting this in court.

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.

Motorhome rentals in Spain fully booked for solar eclipse

Motorhome rentals in Spain have reached full occupancy for the solar eclipse in August. According to the Association of Caravanning Companies of the Valencian Community (ACCVal), all motorhomes are already rented out, and in some regions like Soria and León, no vehicles are available. In Madrid, only four motorhomes are available for the eclipse week, with rental prices exceeding 1,000 euros for four nights. Demand is also boosted by the Perseid meteor shower, making it impossible to find a free motorhome.

French couple plans to watch solar eclipse from motorhome in Aragon

Maryline and Roland Grelet, retirees from Nantes, plan to drive nearly 1,000 km to Nuévalos in Aragon to observe the total solar eclipse on August 12 from their motorhome. They chose the location for its clear view and have already purchased certified glasses for safe viewing. The couple also noted that traveling by motorhome will save them from high accommodation costs in the observation area.

Caravaners back new Canary Islands decree: 'We were 60 years behind the mainland'

The president of the Autonomous Motorhome Platform (P.A.C.A.), Jesús Gallardo, supported the new outdoor accommodation regulation being prepared by the Canary Islands Tourism Ministry. He noted that the archipelago still lacks legal campsites, putting it 60 years behind mainland Spain. The 18-article regulation sets requirements for motorhome areas, which are currently absent, leading to informal parking on beaches and commercial lots. All nine associations involved in the consultation approved the document.
