The irony! - the camperpark at Tavira was the only one we didn't fancy on our trip in March. So we did a Lenny and went FLT on the big Market Place for the day and spent the night at Santa Luzia, old aire also free.
We’d have been better off in Tavira than Fuseta, that’s for sure.

Have you tried Três Palmeiras for lunch? It's on the left just after the big shopping centre as you head into town. There is often a queue. It's basically a big barbeque. They just keep bringing grilled fish. Mr Wallet will be happy too.

You said that 4 years, 3 years ago etc etc. Apart from having 3 nights in CCPs (because I didnt have any solar) I just spent 35 nights in Provence for nothing. I still have 7,000+ aires in France (4,000+ are free) in comparison to the CCP who added how many this year ? They only have 600. Its getting quite difficult to find them.
When I first mentioned this they had about six so they have multiplied 100 fold in four years if they do the same in the next four years you will have to look out then :(

No they havent.
Their details of how many and how often they have been added and everything else you want to know are available on their website.

I doubt with extreme caution as to whether they have doubled in the 4 years you mention.
In 2022 they claimed they had 600 sites (presume that if this is correct then they mean worldwide) and that they were going to add another 150 in 2023, which appears not to have worked as they still only have 500 in France. They started in 2011 and they did expand, but they certainly aint expanding now.

If you wish to further find out the facts, PM me or start a thread, in order not to thread divert.

Of the 13,000 + sites in France to stop at according to S4S 500 are CCPs (thats 500 in 13 years) and probably 100 in total in the last 4 years

Although we are not site people the Tavria Motorhome place is quite plesent, big pitches well laid out even a water tap next to the pitch and only €9 a night another £2.50 if you want EHU.

Done a lot of traveling on this trip so going to rest for a few days (that means walking & cycling miles😊)
And I like Tavria.

Unless you've made a high speed trip to Ukraine I assume that's a typo 'Tavria' 🥴
