Málaga to census residents in camper van settlements
Original source: Málaga Hoy

In Brief

Málaga City Council unanimously approved a census of families living in informal camper van settlements and a social intervention plan, amid a housing affordability crisis.

The Social Rights Commission of Málaga City Council unanimously approved measures regarding spontaneous settlements of motorhomes and campers. Authorities commit to conducting a census of residents of such vehicles and developing a social intervention plan. The reason cited is the growing number of families displaced from the housing market due to high rental prices.

According to social services, an illegal rental market for vans and motorhomes has emerged in the Sacaba area, with monthly fees of 300–400 euros and no legal guarantees. This comes against the backdrop of a Bank of Spain report naming Málaga the city with the highest housing affordability threshold in the country: buying a home requires 10 annual incomes.

Caravaners back new Canary Islands decree: 'We were 60 years behind the mainland'

The president of the Autonomous Motorhome Platform (P.A.C.A.), Jesús Gallardo, supported the new outdoor accommodation regulation being prepared by the Canary Islands Tourism Ministry. He noted that the archipelago still lacks legal campsites, putting it 60 years behind mainland Spain. The 18-article regulation sets requirements for motorhome areas, which are currently absent, leading to informal parking on beaches and commercial lots. All nine associations involved in the consultation approved the document.

Motorhomes overwhelm A Guarda

In A Guarda (Pontevedra), the motorhome parking area at the port, designed for six vehicles, is hosting more than twenty this summer, causing neighbor complaints. BNG spokesperson Anxo Baz criticized the location next to a museum in the urban center, as well as insufficient control and confusing signage. He said the facility fails as a park-and-ride, contrary to Mayor Roberto Carrero's promise, and is becoming an uncontrolled camping area.
