Highlight • Natural

The restaurant had very good food according to my girlfriend; I only had bread, which was okay. We didn't take any photos here. However, the path goes steeply downhill and, of course, just as steeply uphill.

Wanted to recomend finishing at Ristorante o farolim. We did and had one of the best meals of our life and at a very reasonable price too.

The tour is quite boring—we were just covering distance. Be careful in summer—there's virtually no shade.

Today we went west to Levada Lombada. A quiet levada through fern slopes and few tourists. There was a fire here once, but nature is reclaiming everything. The 2 viewpoints were OK, but that's all. There are nicer places.

Afterwards we went to Paulo do Mar. Top place for a sunset 🌅. Quiet place, had a delicious meal at the …

November 13, 2023,Runde von Ponta do Pargo - Pedregal - Levada Nova - Cabo - Pico Vermelho und zurück

On this tour you can see the extent of the large forest fires in October 2023. Nevertheless, it is nice to see how nature is regenerating after such a short time.
