The lakeside bar has been taken over by a German company which is investing heavily in the resort.
The large car park has been revamped so that Motorhomes are discouraged from parking past a new blue sign on the RHS, as you enter.
Vans are still parking there, but the owners complain to the police, when it's full. The police come and warn everyone to move. Fining those who don't comply.
A Portuguese motorhomer, told me it's because vans come and stop for months on end, buying little at the bar, using the toilets and WiFi and denying access to the car bound punters.
I heard a cop explaining to a German MH, in good English,
, " He's welcome to park outside the zoned off area... as long as he parks like a normal car"
We're in the outside zone. We put tables and chairs out, but don't leave them, when not in use.
The cops warned a French rig ,parked in this zone,because he had his trailer doors open,solar panels free standing on its roof, tables and chairs, spread.. And his awning out. He shrugged and ignored the young cop.
Our Portuguese neighbour went ballistic.. I learned some new swear words.
Eventually the Frenchman got the message.
There's only 4 other vans here, now.
I'm told that they are going to make a proper aire in the village,as part of the development.
The service point is still working, takes only 2€ coins, but you can get change from the nearby musem.
