Controversial motorhome park in Portimão

Hundreds of motorhomes are parked on a plot near Portimão marina, which the municipality considers unsuitable for such activity. The land, owned by developer Sociedade Foz do Arade SA, has been used as a paid parking lot since summer (€1 per day). The municipality says it has not received a permit application, and local campsite owners complain of unfair competition and lack of safety measures.
