Cadena SER SPA

The number of people living in motorhomes, campervans, and caravans in Málaga is rising due to unaffordable rents. Spontaneous settlements have formed across the city, the largest in Sacaba with about a hundred vehicles. Many residents have steady jobs but cannot afford rental housing. A black market for van rentals has emerged, charging €300–400 per month without utilities or contracts.

Piélagos moves forward with two motorhome areas, one near Liencres

The municipality of Piélagos in Cantabria is advancing two privately promoted projects for motorhome areas, one of which would be located less than a kilometer from the Liencres Dunes Natural Park, near Valdearenas and Canallave beaches. The projects are still undergoing administrative and environmental procedures, with updates expected in autumn. The town hall is cooperating with the promoters, and Mayor Carlos Caramés has not ruled out a third facility in the future.
