Chloe, creator of TikTok channel @furgoenlibertad, who lives in a 2-square-meter camper van with her dog and cat, outlined ways to secure internet for remote work.

The monthly cost of vanlife in Spain ranges from €500 to €1,200, with initial investment for buying and converting a van between €20,000 and €70,000.

Audi Motor Pacífico Alicante hosted a two-day Caravana RS event for customers, featuring seven S and RS models on a 105 km route through Alicante province. The centerpiece was the new Audi RS 5 Avant, a plug-in hybrid with 639 hp and up to 83 km of electric range (WLTP).

Residents of Liérganes (Cantabria) have accused local authorities of citing budget constraints for not repairing rural roads while funding a bypass and a new motorhome parking area. The motorhome area is budgeted at €700,000 from public and European funds, whereas roads linking Casa del Monte to Pámanes and Liérganes are in poor condition with large cracks. Residents note that a functional motorhome area has existed in the town center for over 20 years, questioning the new project's viability.
