In the Balearic Islands, in the municipality of Calvià, dozens of tourism workers and locals are forced to live in caravans and motorhomes due to unaffordable rental housing. Apartment rents exceed 1200–1600 euros per month, making them impossible for many. Families buy motorhomes on credit to stay on Mallorca but face a shortage of parking spaces and pressure from authorities.
M. Biblioni, a 31-year-old civil servant, lives in a 12-square-meter motorhome as a temporary solution. She spends less than 400 euros per month, allowing her to save, while renting an apartment would cost over 1000 euros. Palma city council plans to tighten rules for motorhomes, but Biblioni believes the problem lies not with them but with the structural housing crisis.
