Following my lavada walk yesterday I was really looking forward to today’s planned 11k lavada from Ribeiro Frio to Portela, (and according to the guide books Madeira’s most popular walk) sadly it was no more interesting than a walk in one of Derbyshire’s dales – apart from an occasional glimpse of high edge drama.
This photo was taken at the start on a slight diversion to the Balcoes viewing point at 860m. Most of the scenes like this were hidden behind the trees on the rest of the walk.
