An illegal business has been uncovered in Palma de Mallorca, renting out old caravans as housing to people who cannot afford conventional rent. According to COPE, an individual has been importing caravans from mainland Spain for at least three years, placing them around the city for monthly fees starting at €250. Many caravans are in poor condition, lack technical inspections, insurance, or proper documentation, and use license plates from scrapped vehicles. The caravans are left unhitched on public streets, making them illegal encampments rather than legal overnight stays.
