The Canary Islands government has drafted a regulation governing the placement of motorhomes and caravans. The document prohibits free camping outside designated areas, requires campsites to have reception, parking spaces and sanitary facilities, and limits stays in overnight zones to 72 hours. The regulation is expected to take effect in September 2026.

Bozcaada municipality begins demolition of illegal tiny houses

The municipality of Bozcaada, Turkey, has started demolishing illegally placed tiny houses on agricultural land. Owners have been sent notices, with fines and legal action to follow if structures are not removed within 30 days. The dispute dates back to 2021 when a court overturned a ban on their entry, classifying them as licensed vehicles.

Marbella health workers live in motorhomes because they cannot afford rent

Staff at the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella are living in motorhomes and camper vans in the staff car park because they cannot afford rental housing. Advertisements on the hospital's emergency department noticeboard list rooms for 800–1,000 euros per month, making rent unaffordable on a salary of around 1,500 euros. The situation has persisted for months or years and affects not only healthcare workers but also teachers, hospitality staff, and airport employees. The CSIF union is urging hospital management and the local council to take action, including reopening a former residence for temporary accommodation, and notes that summer temperatures of up to 40°C make living in vehicles unbearable.
