Destination issue

We know that we're going to Portugal. The exact spot is still in question. Here is the summary of what we have and what we know about it.

Lisboa

Eduardo VII Park

location

Monsanto Park

location

info about the park

Casa Amarela

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

link

  • 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, 160 km south of Lisbon
  • camping in the heart of town possible, though probably not admitted
  • Positive: might be available to camp in a former camping (either talking with the authorities or "squatting the camp"): BBQ, shadow, showers, toilets, next to the beach, good promotion opportunities after a world music festival that takes place there at the end on July.
  • Negative: need to be decided what strategy to adopt with regards to local authorities)
