25 Fontes | Madeira

Second part of our Madeira trek led us to famous are of 25 fontes (springs). With almost unbeaten track down the valley it had quite difficult start followed by slow ascent to Rabaçal. Following levada do Paul showed dry face of the island. Around camping site Estanquinhos we switched again the landscape to wet forests of north part of Madeira, with some nice tunnels along levada do Norte.

Machico, Caniçal, São Lourenço

Few last days at Madeira island. We left mountains and get down to the seashore town called Machico. It was actually first place settled on Madeira, because the coast in otherwise very steep rocky shores provided provided good shield against hard sea. One day took us to the São Lourenço - narrow tail of the island, deserted from the wind. We also visited whale museum in Caniçal and enjoyed sea water on nice beaches.

Madeira - island of flowers

First set of photos from Madeira. The island belongs to Portuagal and is famous for its very steep mountains, reaching over 1800 meter above sea level. After arriving in the night to Santa Cruz airport, we were lucky to catch an aerobus to centre of Madeira's capital, Funchal city, where was our hotel. The next day we went to get a feeling of the city, and also prepare for upcoming trip to the mountains.
