They're both brand new, they hadn't started building them in February when we were there. Let's hope the one at Silves doesn't kill the town - if the police have orders to move vans from the swimming pool area the motorhomers could go elsewhere (many free places in the vicinity) and that's hundreds of vans 365 days a year taking their money out of the town. We'll give it a try in January and let you know what's happening.
Thanks for updating us about the Algarve.
