The landscape of Almería's old fairgrounds has undergone a radical change. Despite the City Council's efforts to seal access points with bollards and machinery, the presence of motorhomes has not disappeared; instead, it has fragmented and spread to other sensitive areas of the city. What was once a concentrated hub is now a diaspora, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
Even with physical barriers in place, about twenty mobile homes remain entrenched near the old fairgrounds, adjacent to the Parque de las Familias and the parking lots of the Auditorio Maestro Padilla. These vehicles are seeking the last remaining spaces in an area the Consistory is attempting to secure.
The main migration has occurred just a kilometer away, in the new street layout of Vega de Acá. In this area, with newly urbanized streets and empty plots, another twenty caravans have settled, taking advantage of the wide thoroughfares. This zone has previously been used as an impromptu campsite.
Andarax Park has also become a new sanctuary for caravanning, primarily for European travelers. These vehicles are utilizing the spaces designated for buses between the perimeter fence and the sidewalk surrounding the green lung of the park. Paradoxically, the Delta del Andarax parking lot—a legally designated space for such vehicles at the end of the promenade with privileged sea views—had empty spots yesterday morning, seemingly unaffected by this domino effect.
