In Brief

Authorities in Alghero plan to install electronic barriers and increase controls in the port to combat unauthorized camping by motorhomes. The initiative, called 'Project Decoro', is set to start in summer 2026.

The port of Alghero has seen a rise in illegal camper parking, with owners setting up tents, tables, chairs and deckchairs, effectively turning the area into a campsite. Councillor Christian Mulas, chair of the municipal environment commission, called the situation unacceptable and proposed measures to tackle parking violations and sanitary risks, including the potential discharge of wastewater.

Proposed measures

  • Installation of electronic barriers and an access control system with license plate readers.
  • Restricted entry for residents, boat owners and authorized persons.
  • Increased police monitoring.

The municipality plans to launch 'Project Decoro' at the start of the 2026 summer season. Implementation will require coordination with regional authorities.
