Description
Located in the West region of Portugal, this paragliding site offers a ridge with a height of 15-30 meters and a length of 3,500 meters, primarily facing northwest. It is a popular spot for local soaring, especially with a north wind. When the northwest wind is strong and sustained, experienced pilots can also enjoy some cross-country flights down the coast.
This site is excellent for school training and playing on the dunes, particularly with winds from the north to northeast. The maximum altitude difference here is 20 meters, making it suitable for beginner and intermediate pilots (Levels 1 and 2). Access is convenient by car, followed by a short walk.
The site record for distance is 16.1 km. For more visual insights, you can check out these videos:
