In Benidorm campsites, a growing number of Britons are buying caravans and motorhomes for 20,000–40,000 euros and staying long-term. At Camping Villamar, the annual plot fee for two people is 5,300 euros, and residents cannot register their address in the caravan as it is legally considered a vehicle.
In Palma, the Son Hugo parking lot now hosts more than 100 caravans, home to workers, pensioners, and families with children. Residents say they did not choose this lifestyle but were forced by rising housing costs. According to Cadena SER, the price of a standard 80-square-meter apartment increased by 26,000 euros in a year. Residents dispute stereotypes of conflict, stating that lights go out at 10 p.m. and silence prevails. They also argue that 323 new public housing units are insufficient to address the crisis.
The local government of Viveiro is drafting an ordinance to regulate motorhome parking, introducing a fee and reservation system. This initiative, described as a priority, aims to curb uncontrolled parking, such as the dozens of vehicles seen parked at the municipal sports hall esplanade.
Roland Boninsegna, an amateur astronomer from Belgium, has left for Spain with his partner in a motorhome to observe the total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026. In Belgium, the eclipse will be partial (about 90%), while in Spain, on the central line, the full phase will be visible. Due to high demand, accommodation prices in Spain have surged from 75 to 9,000 euros per night, so the couple chose a motorhome, which also allows them to move in case of bad weather. They plan to stay in a mountainous area near Oviedo.
