Just read this in my e-mail copy of the paper.  Whilst it is a problem of troublesome tourists it seems extreme measure .

Several apartments in blocks near mine are rented to noisy tourists and there is nothing I can do about it.  I can see the logic, if you are effectively running a business in a residential block it can be a nuisance, just as much as noisy neighbours like those who had a party earlier this week out the back from me that ended at 530am.

I await with interest the first such case here in Albufeira! Perhaps it will give us leeway to get injunctions against people who own dogs that bark all day and all night!

Can understand to a point, some tourist don't give a sh*t, are noisy goodstyle  and only care about themselves and not their environment.

Did you see the one comment about barking dogs,Worn the tee-shirt, been there, our neighbours down the lane  had outside dogs who barked constantly until the early hours of morning grrrrrrr, we kinda got used to it in the end but it's so annoying. The GNR will turn out when you complain, note everything, persons are warned  but then after that   nothing is done about it, same old same old, losing battle 

BTW how long does  the alojamento license  last after applying , is it lifetime or is there  a limit on it. If a limit I can see many properties  when license expires having their renewal refused or many many questions asked..
