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 a makeshift caravan settlement in the sa Joveria (Sa Xoveria) area. In the morning, access to the site 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 (according to one source) or legal action (according to another). About ten caravans were removed by cranes and taken to a municipal lot.

According to the city council, between 10 and 12 people did not know where to go at the time of removal; social services offered them payment for the first month's rent or a deposit. Witnesses said 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.

Villarcayo considers installing motorhome area in Pontones or Cigüenza

The Villarcayo city council is considering two plots for a new paid motorhome area with 25 spaces: near the Cigüenza urbanization or in the Pontones area. The project, included in the 2026 budget with €120,000, is being drafted by a consultant who will also determine the best location. The initial site near the new tourist hostel was discarded after the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation declared it a flood zone. The area will feature automated access control, individual water and electricity hookups, and a fee to prevent uncontrolled camping that has caused resident complaints.
