In Marbella, Spain, medical staff at Costa del Sol Hospital are living in motorhomes and camper vans as permanent housing because rents consume up to 80% of their salaries. The CSIF union reported that some employees reject temporary contracts since a room costs around €600, making work financially unviable. The cancellation of a shuttle bus from Malaga in February worsened the situation, leaving staff with the choice of living in a camper or commuting hundreds of kilometers daily. Workers propose reopening a former leisure residence in Marbella for temporary accommodation, but its recent allocation to a hotel group complicates this option.
