José, father of a 3-month-old baby: 'I bought a caravan because I had nowhere to live. Today we can't afford rent'
On the Spanish island of Mallorca, the housing crisis has forced many residents, including José, a father of a three-month-old, to live in caravans and motorhomes.

Manifesto Miñor insists on creating a motorhome park in Gondomar
The political group Manifesto Miñor is urging the Gondomar municipality to equip a motorhome parking area that is already being used informally. According to the group, in August an average of 4-5 motorhomes park there daily, despite the lack of facilities and regulation. The project, proposed by the group in 2016-2017, involves relocating the area next to the bus station and installing water supply and waste disposal. The estimated cost is 25,000 euros. The group also claims the mayor's office has not granted access to project documents, raising suspicions of inaction.

Marina, 28, lives in a motorhome: "I thought it would be unbearably hot in summer, but I was completely wrong — there is almost always a breeze"
Spanish content creator Marina, known as @marinaaluca on TikTok, documents her daily life in a motorhome with her partner Fran Parra.
