Within the city limits of Lisboa. Concrete landscape.

The operators of the place are fine with the idea.

Good: Big enough

Bad: They might get kicked out by the police until 8910.

Espinho

  • Location at a windmill with forest/field, 3-4 km to the beach
  • Probably camping at the beach
  • Positive: water available, support from friendly locals
  • Negative: little shadow available, having to walk 3-4 km between the two spots

Sines

  • little village at the seaside
  • camping in the heart of town possible, though probably not admitted
