The Algarve region of Portugal was chosen in order to offer microlight
pilots and students the opportunity of flying in one of the most stable
weather regions of Europe.

Cape St Vincente - Europes most southwesterly point

Situated in the Azores high-pressure region, it affords a perfect
climate for most outdoor activities. Very mild winters and tempered
summers due to the cooling sea breezes have made this one of the
best flying environments in the world.
