Altough the runway is in good condition, the weeds can be quite rough and tall, due to the restrictions they have in cutting the weeds due to the airfield being inside a natural reserve.
We landed here from Newark NY USA (KEWR) on United AL. Customs was friendly and easy. Take the rental car bus from terminal to the rental car lots. Don't walk or follow signs. Get off at one of five stops, depending on your reservation. Be ready for a long list of expensive car insurance choices.
The runway has a huge upslope east to west. The west end of the runway is full of antennas with supporting wires reaching all the way to the runway edge. On the aproach end it is full of windmills so a continuous turn from base to the treshold has to be made.
This airfield was close to the front line in Flanders during the First World War, and French and Belgian aviators flew out of it, according to the Wikipedia article.

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.

The airport looks rather abandoned, with most of the buildings looking like they are falling apart and broken windows. Could be such a nice place.

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.

Beware of a few things:
* There's a road crossing the strip, better call beforehand so that they close the road for your landing
* There's a tree hard to see tree (no leafs) right in your way when you come from North.
* The pavement has a little bump where the road crosses
* The pavement has some growing bushes but not a big deal
