Private agricultural airstrip of a nearby "monte". Using Google Earth's historical imagery function we can see the runway already existed by 2006, but it was extensively improved in 2010.
Private airstrip of the "Monte do Pombo". Using Google Earth's historical imagery function we can see the runway seems to have been built somewhere between 2012-2014. Seems to be in good condition.

Public airfield currently owned by the municipal government, in the process of being leased to a private company and finally certified for GA operations. Has a paved runway in very good condition.

It houses the Espinho Air club (ULM's).
Joint military-civilian airfield opened to civilian traffic in 1995, it has been closed 'temporarily' to the latter in 2011, though with no known date of reopening (or if there is actually going to be a reopening at all).
Used to house the Aveiro Air Club, and has a long paved runway in very good condition.
Once a public airfield certified for all sorts of Ga traffic, it was closed in 2007 to give way for the creation of a professional driving school (with road markings replacing the runway markings as can be seen in the satellite imagery).
Military airfield located within the "Campo de tiro de Alcochete" (Alcochete shooting range), used by the Portuguese Air Force (FAP) for air combat exercises. Off limits to any civilian aircraft.
