On Saturday, the Caravaning Oasis association staged another protest to demand that the Balearic government and Council of Mallorca establish specific sites that can be used by motorhomes, caravans and camper vans.
There was a protest in Palma in May. On Saturday, the gathering was in Alcudia. The association's president, Javier Fuster, says that that the main problem they have is a lack of areas for drainage and for filling water tanks. "There is only one point on the Son Castelló industrial estate and another in Son Servera, so the situation is totally inadequate."
Another problem is the absence of sites to spend the night. "Any caravan can park and spend the night on public roads, but what we now find is that some town halls are placing obstacles and signs prohibiting the parking of vehicles 10 metres high and 5 metres long."
No licences for this form of camping have been issued since 2013. Fuster wants the authorities to change their attitude, pointing to "a booming and quality tourism, with many advantages on the mainland and in France". "But here we only find drawbacks."

Andy WalkerWell seeing as most the people on here are little Englander Daily Mail readers I must be doing something right then.
Zoltan, have you ever said anything that gets an upvote? Most people seem to disagree with you. All the motorhomes ive seen in Mallorca are decrepid and old.
Ganja Pit Bull NutjobThat's certainly not true. Most of them are wealthy retired people. Have you seen the price of a new motor home? Not the sort of thing many hippies can afford. I'd rather have these people than the fat drunk gammons that go to Magaluf.
Quality tourism 😆. These people are usually hippies and really tight. They spend no money other than on wacky backy. The things are an eyesore and should be banned from Mallorca.
