Lagos aire, Algarve (1 Viewer)

[BreweryDave]

Some good news for those of you visiting the area…….
There is a new motorhome parking area (aire) in the football club field at Lagos.
There is even a sign up indicating that it’s an ‘approved’ place!

Haven’t been in, but seen it from the road when passing by several times last week. All nice new gravel and fenced. No idea about any other details, but will have a closer look next time I’m there ( in U.K. for a week at the moment)

If you know the area, you’ll know where I mean, opposite the police station just off the N125 at the roundabout ( and opposite Pingo Doce supermarket.)


( that ‘field’ had been off limits since covid)

There has been an aire near the football for years or have they opened up something new??

Seems sensible, up near the Police station.
I loved Lagos especially the fish market and a cafe in the old town that served traditional Portuguese dishes.

If I’m reading the link correctly, it’s a tiny area, room for six vans, ten at a push? Or am I misreading it?

Ian

Edit: Having zoomed in I can see that you’d probably get a dozen vans in that area. Twelve is certainly better than no provision at all. So, all in all, great news.

There is no aire, it's closed!
If you want an overnight stop,it is possible to stay at the pingo doce,services are
at the BP Station along the road to Odexceira.l have just been reminded that it has been possible to stay overnight beside the Marine police office, apparently only 3 euros car park fee, ! As there are only 6 spaces at the Pingo, this might be a good alternative.
Good luck.

A few years ago, the car-park near the Marine Police office is where I stayed a couple of nights.
Over Christmas you could park there for free?

Definitely closed, I’ve been passing for the past 2 weeks and not a single van has been parked there, and a max of 6 vans at the entrance (opposite the police station) but they haven’t been the same 6 so I think either move or be moved on by the police if seen to be there for days/weeks on end. I’ll be here until March so can report if anything changes.
