Information
Private agricultural airstrip of the "Monte da Contenda". Doubles as a country road, and looks to be in acceptable condition.
Information
Private airstrip opened to the public used for recreational ULM flying, property of the nearby "Monte da Contenda". Closed sometime after 2010, according to sources due to its proximity to the Caia dam on its left, and has since been completely destroyed.
It can be seen clearly with the usage of Google Earth's 'historical imagery' function, if a period prior to 2010 is elected.
Information
Private airstrip open to the public, non-certified. Seems to be in somewhat bad condition.
Information
One of the most important aerodromes of the country, and the oldest one in Portugal still in operation at the date of its closure; closed to give way for the construction of a Datacenter.
The aerodrome was of particular interest due to the exceptional conditions of its geographical location for the flying and practice flying of gliders. This characteristic, combined with the good infrastructures that the airfield possessed, were some of the reasons for the creation of the 'University of Beira Interior' in Covilhã, known for being the only place where you can currently study Aeronautical Engineering in the country.
Information
Former public aerodrome certified for ultra-lights. Closed and destroyed in 2007 to give way for the construction of the Amareleja Solar farm; one of the biggest in the world.
If you use the 'historic imagery' function in Google Earth and visit a period before 2007 you'll clearly see the 3 grass/dirt runways, as well as the small hangar that used to be a part of this airfield.

Information
Airfield that was once certified for ultra-lights, closed in 2010 due to destruction of the runway, by the landowner's decision. The 'Aeroclube de Tavira' expected to have a new runway by the end of the same year in a new location, but such hopes never materialized unfortunately. The old hangar of the airfield is still clearly visible, and if you use the 'historic imagery' function in Google Earth and go back to a date prior to 2010, you'll see the runway very clearly as it once was.
