With it's British Holidaymakers and very English looking buses like this RN Utic bodied AEC Regal this could almost be Britain but obviously double white lines had yet to arrive in the 1984. Monte Grodo was a fast growing resort and as well as boasting white sandy beaches and waving palm trees it could also enjoy the sophistication of a casino.
This bus is actually leaving the little bus station of Vila Real do Sto. António, located at the ferry to Spain, across the Guadiana River. Nowadays there is a bridge over the Guadiana and the ferry terminal, as well as the connecting railway station are in poor condition. Fantastic photo!
