Land located in front of the Barlavento Hospital in Portimão has undergone work that means it can now be used as a car parking space area, at least for the timebeing.
This is a temporary solution to the regular difficulty in finding a place to park, for those attending or visiting the hospital. Often people are forced to return to the access roundabout and look for a 'miraculous' little spot on the road opposite, to Companheira.
In an attempt to alleviate the problem, and taking advantage of the goodwill of the land owner of the adjoining plot, Portimão Council have levelled and compacted the land, which now allows space for two hundred vehicles to park, in addition to the existing car park area.
