Take-off description
The takeoff is just below the village's defence wall - a grassy field, with a sort of "ramp", which may be convenient for a hang glider launch. The access to the takeoff from the village is through a small metal gate just above the takeoff. The gate normally is not locked. If locked, one has to walk around and climb to the takeoff from below. The takeoff itself is slightly "technical" due to the rotor from the edge, not for the beginners.
Getting there
The takeoff can be accessed from the Marvao village.
Weather
The best soaring is when there is a 15-20kmh wind from SW.
Rules / airspace
Check airspace and NOTAMs on https://cavok.pt/fuaflex/fua-portugal/ The landing is not an official landing, so please be very respectful!
Comments
Flying over Marvao village and the castle is very beautiful. In good conditions, one can turn the thermal and fly an XC to Spain.
