Just thought I'd report back on this. I had a great time in Portugal (highly recommended destination) and had an hour in a Quantum 912 with Gerry Breens Algarve Airsports outfit. Got a bit of a shock when I first arrived to see 40+ microlights of various description all preparing to depart. At first I thought this must be the biggest flight training setup I'd seen until it transpired it was a French fly-in
A relaxed crowd but very professional with 2 flexwings, an Acro Sport, an x-air and an X-air with floats. While not my first time in a flex-wing, it was my first in the front seat and we treated it as a lesson. As a result, I've majorly caught the microlighting bug now.
Anyway, certainly would recommend these guys to anyone venturing down that way this summer.
