Windiest Spot in Portugal
The Nortada wind, prevailing along the Portuguese Atlantic coastline, provides consistent wind conditions for an extended period of six months. This reliable wind gains strength due to the natural surroundings that generates a local thermic effect.

This exciting season commences in April, continues through May and June, and reaches its peak in July and August. As September unfolds, the wind calms down, until the end of October.
