In Brief

Police in Sant Josep dismantled an illegal settlement of 12 caravans and a tent in the protected Ses Salines Natural Park on Ibiza. Ten fines of €10,000 to €30,000 were issued, and three caravans were seized. About half a ton of rubbish was left behind.

On 2 June, police in Sant Josep (Ibiza) dismantled an illegal settlement of a dozen caravans and a tent that had sprung up within hours in the protected Ses Salines Natural Park. Some caravan owners had moved there after being evicted from another location.

Consequences

Kitchens, fire remains, gas cylinders, batteries and generators were found on site, posing a threat to safety and the environment. After the eviction, about half a ton of rubbish remained. Ten reports were filed for overnight stays in rural areas with the aggravating factor of being in a protected zone. Fines under Law 5/2024 range from €10,001 to €30,000. Three caravans were seized, and a fourth is planned to be seized.

Authorities' response

The municipality announced a special summer campaign to detect and prevent caravan parking outside campsites.
