Queues at Cabo Girão
According to the local press, the introduction of entrance charges for the Cabo Girão viewing point have led to queues of up to 45 minutes as arriving tourists scrabble for change and wrestle with uncooperative turnstiles.
There are plans to roll out entrance charges to other popular visitor attractions, partly to recoup some of the operating costs, but also to help manage increasing visitor numbers.
Hopefully lessons will be learned before the scheme is extended.
