Monte Farinha, commonly known as Senhora da Graça, is a cone-shaped mountain located in Mondim de Basto, Portugal. This site is renowned for its strong thermals, especially during the summer, making it suitable for experienced pilots only. The launch area is situated directly under the parking lot, equipped with a mat and a wind indicator. The take-off directions include NW, W, and SW, with an altitude of 920m ASL. The landing zone is relatively far and not easy, which adds to the challenge. The site is very frequented, and cross-country (XC) flights are possible. The best time for good XC flights is from March to May. However, be cautious of the brutal midday thermals during summer. The local paragliding club, Clube de Parapente de Bastos, provides additional support and information. You can reach them at: Clube de Parapente de Bastos Asas Srª da Graça Lugar da Praça - Atei Pt - 4880 Mondim de Bastos Tel. +351 / 969 732 347 or 965 375 354 http://www.parapentedebasto.com/ For more details on launch and landing zones, visit: http://parapentedebasto.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=28 The site record for this location is an impressive 229.8 km. The mountain's steep slopes allow for take-offs in multiple directions without significant issues. The main landing site is large and faces north, making it accessible even for less experienced pilots. This location is excellent for ridge soaring or restitution lifts, especially in the late afternoon.
