I suspect the widened section of road to the WNW doubles as a landing strip, but I'm not moving the marker until there's some kind of confirmation.

I landed there a few years ago but nowadays it is harder to spot the southeast limit and you really have to use it if you want to stop before the first road crossing because the ground is a bit uneven there.

Good condition

The trees feel a bit too close if you're doing a low pass but at landing speeds, coming in from East, it's perfectly safe.

— @PapaOscar at Herdade do Pontal Airstrip UL, Portugal

Herdade do Pontal is a private runway with very little activity. It has more or less 8 ultralights based there.

The runway is in very good condition. There are obstacles on both ends of the runway, but the runway is long enough so is not a factor.

The beginning of the runway has a downslope, transitioning into an upslope.

Heliport coverage by the FAA

... is NOTORIOUSLY bad. Even heliports that have continually existed for the last forty years are routinely given GPS coordinates up to 10 miles off course.
