Description
Discover the dramatic landscapes and varied walking routes of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean. This guidebook presents 60 mountain and levada walks, ranging from easy levada routes to steep and rugged mountain paths, across the island and its neighbouring Porto Santo.
With a favourable climate and striking scenery, Madeira is an ideal walking destination. The routes in this guide are spread across the whole island, and visitors may choose to base themselves in the capital, Funchal, or in one of the many smaller towns and villages. Practical advice on travel and transport, as well as comprehensive route description, overview statistics, and sketch mapping, are provided for each walk.
Complementing the walking routes are practical information on travel and transport, a basic map of central Funchal, and fascinating notes on Madeira's geology, history, plants, and wildlife. Useful contacts and a Portuguese-English glossary are also included in the appendices.
