RIP Casa de Porros

There is a little village near Tarifa called Casa de Porros (house of spliffs!), behind the few houses, shops & bars is a field known as The Pig Field. For 25 years it has been a place where travellers can stay a while for free, where holiday makers can park their campervans for free & where anyone wherever they are from can park, camp, stay & use the beach. Recently there has been attempts to stop this & make everyone pay to park there. This has caused uproar particually amongst Spanish people relying on a cheap holiday & travellers with very few places to go. The struggle goes on for a free piece of land for everyone to enjoy. Newspaper article about it in Spanish - http://www.europasur.es/article/comarca/1311063/la/junta/considera/ilegales/ocho/los/aparcamientos/litoral/tarifeno.html

 Our camp in the Pig Field

 Protest sign - basically says it is illegal to charge for parking, it is free for vans, tourists, caravans & campervans.
