The housing crisis is reshaping the meaning of van life, as some workers in tourist areas turn to camper vans due to unaffordable rents. Seasonal workers, hospitality staff, and temporary public employees are choosing to live in campers when conventional housing is out of reach. In the Pyrenees, rents reach 1,600 euros, while in the Balearic Islands some live in motorhomes because standard rents average around 1,000 euros per month.
