Instead of payment with gates or app they should make the whole area paid parking. This needs to be controlled as it’s getting pathetic now as in other areas if the island, Rabaçal, Seixal, Pico do Areeiro to name a few.
If you have not been that way for a while, you can face a couple of km’s of parked cars on both sides of the road, making it very difficult for buses and tourist vehicles to get through.
The announcement was made to journalists by the regional secretary for the Environment, Agriculture and Fisheries, on the sidelines of the presentation of an ARDITI maritime drone.
The Regional Government is preparing the necessary procedures to proceed with the installation of a walkway along the Ponta de São Lourenço route.
The decision was made for safety reasons on this trail, which is very popular with tourists, and aims to ensure that tourists and residents follow the route in a disciplined manner.
Entrances will also be “necessarily paid” instead of optional, said Rafaela Fernandes.
