Hello Bob,
Yes, there are year-round operations at Sintra (near Lisbon) and Évora, and
seasonal ops at Bragança, Seia, Covilhã, Aveiro, Castelo Branco and
Portimão. I will be pleased to give you the details of the operations closer
to your intended destination in the country, please contact me directly at

hi, Francisco
As soon as covid measures end, I'm planning to spend time in Portugal.
Does Portuguese ANA honour American and Brazilian glider pilot licenses?

Francisco's post was from 2005, so he won't reply, but:
As a general rule, if you want to fly an EU glider you need either a EU licence or a validation of your foreign licence from the local authority which should accept any ICAO country's licence with a bit of paperwork (can take weeks, for example in Germany). If you want to fly a glider from the same country as your licence, you can always do that in any ICAO country.
