Hi Gang,
Back from two month in France/Spain and we are planning our Autumn trip to France/Portugal. Whilst we are well informed about France the situation in Portugal seems to be a bit fluid. In Mays' issue of three M,s (page 10)there is a letter about someone being fined for wild camping in a carpark at Falesia Beach. They did not know they had been done until they got back home and there was the fine with photographic evidence on the mat. In the picture it appears to be daylight. How did the GNR know they were wild camping? There have been several anecdotal stories like this. Is it true that, now more licences for aires and private aires have been issued, you can no longer wild camp in Portugal. I already know that it is illegal to wild camp anywhere on the Algarve. If it is not true and anybody out there has some wild camping spots that are current and they are prepared to share please p.m. or publish them on this thread so that all can share.
