In Palma de Mallorca, a severe housing shortage and high rental prices are driving a growing number of people to live permanently in motorhomes and caravans. According to city authorities for 2025, 156 such vehicles have been registered in problem areas, including Son Hugo, Son Güells, and Ciutat Jardí. Other sources also mention clusters at Playa de Palma and near the Son Hugo pool.
Residents complain about a lack of parking spaces, trash, noise, and illegal wastewater dumping. Neighborhood associations are demanding that the city designate regulated parking areas. Discussions include creating dedicated lots with infrastructure and introducing a "blue zone" to regulate parking.
