A 69-year-old former lorry driver named Javier has lived in a caravan in Palma for six years. His monthly pension is around 500 euros, while his previous rent was 680 euros. He says there are 111 caravans in his area and that 95% of the people there are not there by choice but because they cannot afford housing. Javier suffered a stroke and underwent surgery without family support on the island. He also pays monthly for a municipal sports centre card to use washing facilities.
