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.
Cool that the electrical lines are buried where they cross the strip but you'll probably break your landing gear if you try to land here, it's full of huge potholes.
Private agricultural airstrip of the "Monte da Quinta da Foz". Runway seems to have been left unused and non-maintained for some years and is in poor condition. Using Google Earth's historical imagery function to go back to a date prior to 2006 would make the runway clearly visible.
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.
Agricultural airstrip located right next to the Sorraia river, in the lower "lezíria" (extremely fertile low, wet soils) of the Tagus river. Runway in somewhat bad condition.
Private airfield open to the public, with its own Air Club. Certified for all sorts of light GA traffic, it also sees some firefighting operations during the summer months.
Public airfield certified for light GA traffic on the outskirts of the city of Santarém. Known for its dangerous approach to runway 05 due to the construction of a motorway causeway immediately SW of its threshold.
Private airfield open to the public and certified for ultra-lights. Probably the most popular airfield for ULM's in the country, with lots of activity on the weekend. Has 2 runways both in excellent condition.
Small military-only airfield part of the adjacent "Campo Militar de Santa Margarida", one of the biggest Portuguese army and air force areas/bases, where they conduct training exercises.
If you go to Portugal and you like flying in little planes, CVB is the place to go. Professional and nice pilots/instructors and operations people. There's a restaurant in case you want a bite to eat.

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.
