This paragliding site in Portugal is considered difficult with a height of 24 meters. The launch area is directly at the cliff and has limited space, making it challenging. For an easier launch, consider starting at Hotel Alfa Mar. The site record for this location is 5.5 km. Another nearby site in Portugal has a record of 5.2 km. The ridge from the beginning of Vilamoura (east of this location) to just before Olhos de Agua is easily flyable, covering approximately 4.5 km. From there, you can continue flying towards Albufeira for about 1.5 km, but only attempt this if the wind conditions are favorable and you have a certain level of confidence, as there are few landing options. Flying is permitted here, but please avoid landing among the sun umbrellas and be considerate of others. For a visual reference, you can watch a flight at this location on YouTube: [Watch the flight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U2qvN1Wp6Q).
