Photography Tips

It is often very windy there. I would prefer the sunrise.
In the São Lourenço area on Madeira, which is part of the São Lourenço Nature Reserve, drone flights are generally restricted due to the area's protected status. The region is a natural park, and drones are not permitted to fly freely in such conservation areas to protect wildlife and the environment.

If you wish to fly a drone there, you would need to obtain special permission from the relevant local authorities, such as the management of the nature park. In most protected areas like São Lourenço, drone flights are only allowed in specific, authorized zones.

It's highly recommended to check with local authorities or the Portuguese Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) to ensure you're following the appropriate regulations before attempting to fly your drone.
