Vila Real de Santo António has new municipal regulations for motorhomes which include fines ranging between €150 and €200 for motorhomes parked in unauthorised areas.
The goal, the council says, is to tackle the “abusive parking of motorhomes in the borough, especially near beaches”.
There are three areas where motorhomes can legally park overnight in the municipality: Monte Gordo’s campsite and the motorhome parks near the Guadiana River and Manta Rota beach.
