RE: Maderia Portugal: the Verada da Ponta de São Lourenço Hike

in Worldmappin2 years ago

We visited the peninsula on a strange cold day and the wind was very strong, yet back in Funchal it was a normal summer day. Since we weren’t prepared for that kind of thing we didn’t do the whole walk. Stunning place though. You get a great view as you fly in and out too. Depending on where you fly in from I guess?!

That's awesome that you were able to see some of it. The begining half is beautiful as well.

Absolutely breathtaking and you are correct on its geology, the entire island was a volcano hence the sand is mostly black and the walls are that dark stone Basalt

Okay, that's interesting. Good to know 👍
