Temporary workers in San Pedro Alcántara are sleeping in motorhomes because they cannot afford housing. At least seven vehicles are parked in the Fuentenueva residential area. Councillor Manuel Osorio said the housing crisis forces workers to use these vehicles. A proposal to equip motorhome parking areas with water and sewage connections was rejected by PP and Vox. Over the past 20 years, Marbella has built about 200 social housing units, while around 3,000 residents are on the waiting list.

Motorhomes and caravans fill Montaña Arena coast during heatwave

In the Montaña Arena area on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, visitors have set up camp in motorhomes, caravans, and camper vans to cope with the heatwave. They rely on fans, ice, and portable showers. Some, like Alfonso Umpiérrez, have converted a refrigerated van into a mobile home, while others, like Iván Santana, bring water for showers. José Sánchez sells bread, ice, and ice cream to the campers. A couple from Cádiz says the local heat is more bearable due to the breeze.
