The municipality of Ibiza is taking legal action to evict an illegal caravan settlement on public land in the Sa Joveria area.

A similar procedure was previously required to clear illegal shacks from the same site.

Authorities in Lanzarote are preparing a ban on tourist buggy and quad caravans on rural roads and protected natural areas. Territorial Planning Councillor Jesús Machín Tavío described the situation as 'unsustainable' and said work on restrictions is already underway. The ban is based on the Island Planning Plan, which allows stopping the activity if convoys exceed three vehicles or lack an acoustic impact report.

In the first month of the summer campaign, Sant Antoni (Ibiza) police checked 73 vehicles, issued 19 fines and seized six abandoned vehicles. Fines can reach €30,000.

Police have started fining motorhomes, caravans and campervans for overnight stays or camping outside authorized areas as of Wednesday. The fine is 600 euros, reduced to 300 if paid on the spot, and vehicles may be immobilized. The measure follows a transition period since 2025.

The Valencian regional government has opened a public consultation on a project to build a three-star campsite for motorhomes in Elche, in the Valverde Bajo area.

The documentation will be available for review and objections for 20 working days via the regional digital planning platform.
