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.

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.

It's not suitable to land as it has meter high vegetation.

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.

Microlight experience

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.
