Skippy Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 There are several places where the tracks and trails run right along the waters edge so it would be rude not to go and explore. Managed to get home just before it rained. Lucky me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 caravans and motorhomes have been arriving to southern Spain and Portugal since covid started. In huge bursts of people, so borders aren't really being patrolled. Suddenly a lot of people can work from anywhere using a data signal, and breach all recommendations. In some areas of Portugal that has exploded covid, and as such parking caravans like that has recently been forbidden, I think countries would do a lot better to just close borders and allow their people to be free instead of ordering people to stay in and then allowing international traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Portugal's biggest industry. I really don't envy the pressure politicians are under through this, dealing with health and economy is impossible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
