"quite a few homeless people are on the premises of Frankfurt airport. From the homeless person's point of view it's a pretty good location.”

So, Spain cannot be far behind:

Not yet on El Pais in English http://elpais.com/elpais/inenglish.html but probably coming soon.

Highlights: Thirty-some people living in T4 of the Madrid Airport. That’s the modern one that cost 6 billion euros to build. Some have been there for years.

But they will have to be patient to break the record of the German woman who -- six years ago – had already lived in the Palma, Mallorca airport for 10 years:

Or the man who has lived at CDG for 26 years:

Turns out there is even a (very partial) Wikipedia entry on people who live / have lived in airports:

Sad, because they don’t seem to bother anyone, and most travelers don’t even notice them, and the city would provide other accommodation if they would only go there. Apparently, only in the UK can you be arrested and jailed for living at the airport:
