Motorhomes key to Praíña beach tourism

Pedro Castañeda, who has been managing Praíña beach in A Estrada since 2020, says motorhomes are a major driver of tourism to the area. The beach has become a popular destination, attracting visitors from across Spain and abroad. This year, motorhomes have been frequenting the beach even on weekdays, boosting local spending. The site offers showers, grey and black water disposal points, and parking for over 100 motorhomes. Future plans include a chill-out area with wooden decking and a vegetative roof for evening use.

Guacimara, after three years living in a motorhome, warns of its biggest dangers: 'Problems travel with you'

Content creator Guacimara Siverio, who has lived in a motorhome for three years, is debunking the romanticized image of this lifestyle. She points out that it is not necessarily cheaper than conventional housing due to maintenance, fuel, insurance, gas, campsites, and repairs. A breakdown can leave occupants without both transport and home. She also highlights difficulties in finding safe and legal parking spots, managing water and electricity, and the challenges of traveling with pets and in cold weather. Her main warning: moving into a motorhome does not solve personal problems—they 'travel with you.'

Mallorca housing crisis: Motorhome squatting reported

Police in Palma arrested a 46-year-old Spanish woman on August 25 on suspicion of breaking into a motorhome parked on an undeveloped plot on Carrer Bartomeu Sureda i Miserol. The woman, who had been living in the vehicle for about a week, allegedly replaced the door lock, broke windows, and stole a TV, a vacuum cleaner, and two toolboxes. The owner, who uses the motorhome as a weekend second home, said he did not know the suspect. The incident highlights the growing housing shortage on the island, where hundreds of people now live in motorhomes and caravans.
