In Brief

Rising rents and low wages in Málaga, Spain, are driving residents to live in motorhomes and caravans. A spontaneous settlement of over 100 vehicles has formed near Sacaba Beach.

In Málaga, Spain, the housing crisis is forcing people to move into motorhomes and caravans. A spontaneous settlement of over 100 vehicles has formed near Sacaba Beach, adjacent to luxury residential complexes.

According to residents, the number of inhabitants has doubled in the past six months, and at least two families per week come to inquire about this lifestyle. Among the residents are airport workers and medical staff from Costa del Sol Hospital. Some say life in a motorhome is more dignified than renting an apartment, but most consider it a forced measure due to unaffordable housing.
