Due to the housing crisis on Mallorca, more people are forced to live in motorhomes, vans, or cars. Rents have risen sharply, supply is limited, and even employed individuals cannot find affordable housing. According to Cadena SER, families and working people are in this situation, partly due to tourism and foreign real estate buyers.

Living in a motorhome as a necessity on Spanish islands

On the Balearic and Canary Islands, more people are forced to live in motorhomes and caravans due to high rents and housing shortages. At the Son Hugo parking lot in Palma de Mallorca, around 150 caravans were parked at the end of March, housing workers and families. The housing crisis has begun to negatively impact the economy, as companies cannot fill vacancies due to a lack of affordable housing for employees.
