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.
