The offenders were from various countries, namely Luxembourg, Germany, France, England, Poland, Spain, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Finland and also Portugal, the GNR said.
"With the recent legislative change, the GNR is carrying out awareness and enforcement actions in a progressive manner, by adapting to the new regulations, in coordination with local authorities," the entity noted.

If you want to drive a bedroom on wheels around,then stay in designated campervan site.
I am delighted the GNR are finally taking this issue seriously.

So they say that Portugal is a democratic country.
It amazes me whit this so called "law " it doesn't make any sense what so ever.

Have a question.Our daughter lives in Estoril. Up to last year, during visiting for several days, we usually left our motorhome, in the parking place along the Avenida Republika. Is this now an offence? Thanks and regards from Dusan, Slovenia

In the last few weeks there has been fines under this new law in Armação de Pêra and Vilamoura. The campers at Praia dos Tomates near Vilamoura had been told by the GNR and local police that they would not be moved until after the lockdown ended. Then at 5am one morning the GNR turn up and evict everyone. They say things change, they were heavy handed and laid hands on people, they took passports and driving licences and wouldn't give them back until people paid the fine. They threatened to clamp people who refused to pay the fine on the spot. Surely an on the spot fine means the police issue it on the spot not that you have to pay it on the spot! Very heavy handed work by the GNR which seems like a money raising exercise rather than actually caring about a parking infringement.

Stop all the disgusting litter from all the"dogging" activity around the beaches and forests first.

We have motorhomed for a long time!!! We have always found travelling around Europe great and we have been made to feel very welcome and have very much appreciated the Aires and being able to wild camp (with a site visit every 3 or 4 if need to clear waste and water etc) With regard to new laws in Portugal, we will be very happy to abide and accept any new rules to ensure locals are happy with us visiting their home town/area. To be honest, we love touring and wild camping and 48 hours sounds a very fair comprimise. We are waiting to travel at the moment but am looking forward to returning as soon as we feel it is right to do so. We send all our European neighbours best wishes in keeping safe and that we all get through this Covid as soon as possible. Thankyou to all the local people in the places we have visited over the past years. Kind Regards Steve & Jo.
