I'm going to be in Portugal in late March and will be taking my mpp with me. We will be starting in Lisbon, spending a few days in the south around Faro, back to Lisbon then riding bikes up to Porto. Would appreciate any recommendations of good places to fly and get some good scenery videos.
Thanks in advance

Wherever you go, make sure to follow the rules so you can know where to fly

I flew around from Faro and a bit up on the west coast for 3 weeks last summer. It hasn't gone on air yet (scheduled to start this Friday) yet so I can't show video, but I've got some stills:

Most of these places are around Faro, the red coast with the large desert-ish beach is on the west coast (and visible from Google Earth), the flat white cliffs is the south-western tip.

Be aware of strong winds along the coast. I flew my Mavic through the cave in the last image for the intro of the show. Do that at your own risk.

I needed a shitload of permissions and nearly got into a brawl with some dude who threw stones after my drone. Fly with caution.

There is another thread that has started about Portugal and one poster is saying that you need permission to film. Did you require permission?
