Ibiza resident prefers caravan to shared room costing 1000 euros

Cadena SER SPA

Residents of the illegal settlement Sa Joveria in Ibiza claim they have not received official notification of the eviction scheduled for the 21st and will not leave the area. One resident, Lucía, works as a cleaner at the hospital but her salary is insufficient for renting housing; she states she lives better in an equipped caravan with water and solar panels than in a shared room costing 1000 euros. Another resident, Amaya, rents a caravan for 450 euros per month, which is cheaper than an apartment, and also has not been notified of the eviction.

Poza de la Sal to open motorhome area

The municipality of Poza de la Sal has completed a new motorhome area with 22 pitches. The investment exceeded 35,000 euros. Use will be free for the first month, after which the rate will be around 2–3 euros per day. The site includes electric hook-ups, an electronic barrier, a stainless steel drain for waste water, a drinking water tap and a cleaning point for caravans. Plans include building changing rooms near the sports area. The new area joins existing ones in Espinosa de los Monteros, Oña, Briviesca, Frías, Medina de Pomar and Santelices.

Javier, 67, lives in a motorhome due to a 500-euro monthly pension

Javier, a 67-year-old former truck driver, lives in a five-square-metre motorhome because his monthly pension of 500 euros does not cover conventional rent. After a stroke left him partially paralysed, he retired early without the minimum contribution period for a higher pension. His previous rent was 670 euros per month. He sold belongings and borrowed money to buy the motorhome. In winter he sleeps dressed, eats one meal a day and cannot afford a new 300-euro television. Javier links his situation to Spain's housing crisis, which he says also affects younger generations.

Spanish pensioner couple lives in motorhome, saves €1,200 per month

Maribel and Vicente from Mallorca moved into a motorhome of just over 10 square meters five years ago to travel the world. They say living costs in the motorhome are about €2,000 per month including diesel, saving them €1,200 compared to an apartment. The couple receives two ordinary pensions and says this is enough for a comfortable life.
