Economist Páez warns about caravans: 'The law does not look at the structure, it looks at the use'

Economist José María Páez stated that placing a caravan on agricultural land for permanent residence is illegal, even if it has wheels or is not anchored. The law assesses not the type of structure but its use: if the caravan is used as a home (continuous living, connection to utilities), it is considered a violation. Offenders face fines up to €30,000 and forced removal. Registering the caravan as a residence does not legalize the situation.

The program included a communal meal, board games, bingo, theater, a concert, a visit to the Memory Monolith, and a tour of the facsimile of the Orestes Sarcophagus. The gathering aimed to integrate travelers into village life and showcase local cultural and natural resources.
