Legally, living in a caravan or mobile home park in Spain year-round as your primary residence is a complex issue governed by local "autonomous community" and municipal laws. Most Spanish caravan parks operate under a tourism license, which generally limits stays to a maximum of 11 months per year to prevent permanent residency. However, in 2026, many parks do allow long-term guests to stay year-round provided they maintain a "permanent address" elsewhere (often in their home country). Some specialized residential parks do exist with the correct licensing for permanent living, but these are less common than standard campsites. It is also important to note that living on "rustic" or agricultural land in a caravan is strictly prohibited and can lead to heavy fines or eviction. For those looking to make the move, it is essential to distinguish between a "holiday home" setup and a legal permanent residence (Empadronamiento), as the latter is difficult to obtain using a caravan park address due to urban planning and safety regulations.
