Growing number of people living in motorhomes near Palma airport
Original source: Majorca Daily Bulletin

In Palma, particularly in the Son Oms industrial estate near the airport and Playa de Palma, the number of motorhomes used for permanent residence has increased. Local authorities link this to the housing emergency in the Balearic Islands, where many cannot secure traditional rentals. The area also hosts motorhome rental and sales businesses, creating a mix of recreational and residential use.
