Brazilian tourists who parked their motorhome on Playa Brava beach in Punta del Este received an official warning from the municipality of Maldonado. The incident was based on a 2016 resolution prohibiting the parking of recreational vehicles in the coastal zone outside designated areas.
According to sources, the tourists had been there for about a week, but authorities enforced the regulation over the weekend. They left the site without further penalties, expressing dissatisfaction on social media. One tourist said: "I will spend my money elsewhere."
