Three additional motorways, including the Algarve’s A22 are since Thursday no longer free. To travel the length (130 kilometres) of the motorway will now cost just under 12 euros. Despite all the criticism levelled at paying to drive on the AS22, only ten of the Algarve’s 400,000 residents (excluding traffic police and journalists, who numbered about 20) gathered in Faro on Wednesday for one final protest before of the introduction of tolls a day later.
