In the Sa Joveria area near Can Misses hospital in Ibiza, an informal settlement of motorhomes and tents has formed, where local workers live because they cannot afford housing. The average price of housing in the Balearic Islands exceeds 4,000 euros per square meter, and rents are high and scarce due to tourist demand. The settlement was evicted in 2023, but by 2026 more than 100 people had returned, and authorities intervened again in April. Among the residents are single mothers, cleaners, and pensioners; electrician Gabriel, 50, lives in a truck because renting an apartment is impossible.
The article compares owning a motorhome to renting one, noting that renting eliminates maintenance, insurance, and tax costs. Rental motorhomes are typically newer and inspected before each rental, while buying is only justified for full-time living.
