A road accident involving two passenger cars and a motorhome occurred on National Road 18 (EN18) at kilometre 273 in the Beja–Évora direction. Seven people were injured; five were taken to Espírito Santo Hospital in Évora, while two were treated at the scene. The response involved 27 personnel and 12 vehicles from Évora firefighters and the National Republican Guard. Traffic on that section of the EN18 was restricted and later resumed.

Demand for motorhome rentals is rising: Roadsurfer reported a 30 per cent year-on-year increase in bookings, and a Practical Caravan survey found 53 per cent of Brits would choose a motorhome or caravan holiday over flying abroad. A five-day, 163km Algarve route included campsite stays and an overnight at Quinta do Canhoto vineyard, where a €29 welcome pack included two bottles of wine. Roadsurfer's Camper Castle rental starts from £67 per night.

Maribel and Vicente, retirees from Mallorca, gave up their conventional home five years ago to live in a motorhome of about 10 square meters. They travel across Europe, adjusting their routes to seasons and budget. The couple says that leaving their house cut their monthly expenses by about 1,000 euros, covering utilities and car payments. They spend around 2,000 euros a month on living and travel, with a fuel budget of 700 euros. The motorhome is equipped with appliances, including an air fryer, coffee machine, fridge, freezer, and two TVs.

A couple from Lisbon traveled to the Algarve and stayed at Orla Ecoglamping on Tavira Island, renting a pre-pitched tent for three people at €95 per night (€31.60 per person). The 15-square-meter tent includes air conditioning, a refrigerator, and utensils. The campsite is located between the Ria Formosa and the ocean, with no cars allowed, and offers shower facilities, a barbecue area, a restaurant, and an outdoor cinema.

The Matosinhos Municipality has ordered the closure of a motorhome park in Perafita, located on private land, due to its illegal status. The site, situated near a restaurant, falls within the National Ecological Reserve, making it unsuitable for parking. Authorities are finalizing a municipal regulation for motorhome tourism, while police patrols during the summer prohibited overnight stays on beaches.
