Almost a century after debuting in service to the community with the Children's Seaside Colony in Estoril, the current foundation has a new project that combines tourism with solidarity.
Ericeira: O Século Foundation debuts Boomerang, a tourist accommodation with a 'solidarity return'
Tuesday, 17 March 2026RSS
Context & Explainers
Local accommodation (alojamento local) means short-term tourist rentals—private apartments, houses or rooms rented for days or weeks—that must be registered and licensed with municipal authorities. Municipalities can suspend or cancel licences (Lisbon cancelled about 6,700 licences in early 2026), so travellers and hosts should check a listing's registration and local rules before booking or offering stays.
