El Portús Naturist Camping Residents to be Evicted

THE impending eviction of over two hundred long-term tenants from the El Portús naturist camping site has sparked a legal battle as residents refuse to vacate their homes. The campers, facing eviction due to the expiry of their temporary stay contracts, are determined to seek justice and compensation for what they perceive as an infringement upon their rights and dignity.

Residents’ Determined Stand

Receiving notice on November 9, the management informed residents that their ‘temporary stay contracts’ would terminate from January 1, 2024, for most. The 210 affected individuals have consulted lawyers, seeking any loophole to reverse the situation. Most homes, prefabricated or permanent, pose relocation difficulties. The notice mandates eviction, compelling them to clear their lots before the deadline.
