In Brief

The municipality of Ílhavo has applied to the Portuguese Environment Agency for a seasonal motorhome parking lot on a former sports field in Costa Nova. The project includes 90 spaces but faces local opposition.

The municipality of Ílhavo is awaiting authorization from the Portuguese Environment Agency to set up a seasonal motorhome parking area on the site of a former sports field in Costa Nova.

The project plans 90 parking spaces to compensate for the lack of spots near the lagoon and to prevent informal parking on roads leading to the beach. The application has been submitted.

However, the initiative is not consensual: local residents advocate for restoring the sports function of the site.
