I visited recently the very north of Portugal ( concelho de Melgaço) and bars situation in the rural were more or less the same than in rural Galicia ( very few). One more thing in common with Galicia.

Hmm. yes and no. Maybe the local folks would like it as it would mean a quieter walk? In my city, we have permitted parking by neighborhood. It's wonderful in areas that are crowded, has time limited or pay parking. The sticker gives an exemption...

Friend from Barquinha replied to the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés.Actually in "wilderness" Canada, in British Columbia, we also have some wild routes for which you have to get a permit and take your turn. For example: the Bowron Lakes, a canoe route where you've had to do this for 30 or 40 years, and the West...
