In Brief

Guacimara and Pedro travel Europe in a 12-square-meter motorhome and share how they rescued dogs in Bosnia, where millions of strays suffer from cold and hunger.

A couple from the Canary Islands, Guacimara and Pedro, live in a 12-square-meter motorhome and travel across Europe, sharing their experiences on the YouTube channel @RoadtoMagec. In one video, they recounted how they rescued two dogs in a forest in Bosnia, where, according to them, millions of stray dogs suffer from cold and hunger.

The couple stayed in the country for three months to help the animals, building wooden shelters to give them a chance to survive the winter and feeding them. They note that the situation is critical.

They also share thoughts that living in a motorhome allows them to distance themselves from society, which they consider a source of stress and mental health problems. In their view, it is no coincidence that more and more people suffer from anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

Sigüenza: Medieval City in Castile for a Motorhome Trip

Spain's Supreme Court: Mobile and prefab homes are not trailers and require a license

Spain's Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that mobile homes and prefabricated houses are akin to prefabricated houses and require an urban planning license for land use. The ruling came after Agrocamping S.L. challenged a decision by the Tarragona city council denying the legalization of mobile homes in a campsite. The court stated that an activity license does not cover urban planning control, and environmental protection and the urban environment justify the refusal. It also clarified that such homes cannot be treated as trailers because their primary purpose is residence, not towing.
