Spain is one of Europe's largest markets for mobile homes, driven by its Mediterranean climate, massive tourism industry, and thousands of campsites and residential parks along the coast and inland. Green Village, with a showroom in Vigo, offers mobile homes for sale across all of Spain, from the Costa del Sol to the Basque Country, from the Balearic Islands to Madrid. Units are imported from the UK, Netherlands, and France; transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price. The Spanish market stands out for its strong demand in luxury campsites in Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and Andalusia, where mobile homes function as premium tourist accommodation. Prices start from 12,943 euros for used units and go up to €347,202 for luxury lodges. Green Village handles transport, import, customs clearance, and installation, offering a complete turnkey service with financing up to 120 months. VAT in Spain is 21%, applied to the full transaction value.
Regulations
In Spain, mobile home regulation varies by autonomous community. At national level, the Supreme Court (ruling 1917/2024 of 5 December) held that mobile homes are equivalent to prefabricated houses and need a planning licence, applying article 11.4.c) of the Land and Urban Rehabilitation Law (RDL 7/2015), which requires express authorisation for "the placement of prefabricated houses and similar installations, whether temporary or permanent". This applies on campsites too: the campsite's tourism licence does not cover the installation on its own. On private land, the land classification is decisive, and on rural land (suelo rústico) residential use is generally prohibited except where regional law allows it. The Balearic and Canary Islands have more restrictive specific regulations. The applicable VAT rate is 21% (IVA general). For post-Brexit UK imports, units have EU customs duty already included in the final price. Any permits an individual delivery requires are obtained by Green Village as part of the service.
Transport
Transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price anywhere in Spain. Green Village also obtains every permit a specific delivery requires, whatever the unit's dimensions.

Installation
Mobile home installation in Spain requires pitch preparation with levelling, a concrete or metal base, and connections for water, electricity, and sewage. On licensed campsites, pitch infrastructure is typically pre-prepared, simplifying installation. Green Village coordinates placement, levelling, technical connections, and final inspection. For coastal areas, additional protection against salt air is recommended (anti-corrosion chassis treatment). Annual maintenance includes roof, guttering, seals, and electrical system checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a building permit for a mobile home in Spain? +
- Yes. Since Supreme Court ruling 1917/2024, mobile homes are treated as prefabricated houses and need a planning licence (art. 11.4.c of the Ley de Suelo), campsites included: the campsite's tourism licence alone is not enough. On private land, the land classification is decisive: on suelo rústico (non-developable rural land), residential use is generally restricted or prohibited except under a specific authorisation tied to a compatible use (regulated tourism, agricultural, etc.), since a unit's mobility alone does not make the land residential. Rules and enforcement pressure vary by autonomous community — always check with the town hall and local urban development plan before installing on private land.
