Looking at the chart, the holding fix is only 7 miles from the MAP. The holding fix lies within the MSA of the VFA VOR. If u assume for one moment this procedure was written in the days of the viscount, in a worst case with a couple of engine failures, you would probably take 12-15 miles to get to 1400', ie past the holding fix. After 1400' you would be clear of obstacles as long as you stay south of the 285-R whilst manoeuvering back to the Holding fix.
Looking at the arrival plate. as the charts are not drawn to scale, it is impossible to tell if the arrival route brings you close to the D6/10 holding pattern.
If you are flying an aircraft with far superior performance to a 2 engined viscount, a brick for example, you climb directly to 3000' whence you level off say after only 5 track miles from the MAP and then you join the hold.
As i suppose there have been more go arounds at Faro than mid air collisions, it is probably ok to assume that the controllers will be looking out for you as if you do collide, they have to live with it, you probably wont.
