Begoña Iglesias, 60, and her son Héctor, 22, live in a rented caravan of just four square meters in a parking lot near the highway in Palma. Begoña works as a parking attendant in Port d'Andratx earning 1,200 euros per month, while her son works as a waiter. They pay 250 euros per month for the caravan, which has a broken refrigerator, and use nearby pool facilities for hygiene. In 2023, rents in the Balearic Islands rose nearly 20%, pushing locals to leave the island.
