Original source: inselradio.com

The city of Palma plans to close the parking lot at the Son Hugo swimming pool to caravans, making it accessible only to users of the sports facility. The area will be fenced and access controlled via license plates or access cards. The move follows numerous complaints about a lack of parking spaces and litter. In April 2025, around 60 caravans were counted there.

Caravan dwellers in Palma seek official recognition as neighborhood

Approximately 150 people living in caravans on the grounds of the Son Hugo public sports facility in Palma de Mallorca plan to formally constitute a residents' association. They cite unaffordable rents, with a simple two-room apartment in Palma costing around 1500 euros per month.

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.

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.

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.

According to the Yescapa Campervan 2026 survey, 59% of Spaniards traveling by motorhome actively seek places without mobile signal or Wi-Fi, placing Spain at the forefront of Europe in the trend toward digital disconnection. The deliberate search for areas without coverage reflects a clear need to escape constant notifications and the frenetic pace of daily routine.
