Portugal remains a popular destination for winter motorhome trips. For a legal journey, a category B license (up to 3.5 t), insurance, technical inspection, and compliance with parking rules are required: no tables, chairs, or awnings outside. In Natura 2000 areas and protected coastal zones, strict restrictions apply, with high fines for waste dumping. It is recommended to use ASA service areas, campsites, and other legal overnight stops, and to consider toll roads and the Via Verde system.
