The tour was very strenuous and the paths were partly overgrown but there was a great viewpoint at Raposaira 👍

The well-made ladder to heaven is really, really steep in the small village, which obviously doesn't benefit much from tourism. The whole way through the cliffs is without shade, but with an absolutely fantastic view of the sea and the village. Rocks and sea and guaranteed no hustle and bustle.
The crossing to the lookout point is very beautiful at …

May 18, 2023,PT: Madeira - Paul do Mar Rundweg II

Round two around Paul do Mar. Two days of regeneration for my knees with only one levada hike after the first circular hike (komoot.de/tour/1119826329) should be enough. Today we went up the remaining three hiking trails. From the water you make your way through the banana plantations up to the road. So that you can get used to it, there …

Our holiday resort of Prazeres is at 550 m. It goes straight down the cliffs to Paul du Mar. Impressive path 😯. We are advised not to take the planned path along the shore to Jardim do Mar - risk of falling. We believe it and climb up an adventurous path instead, then cross several gorges 🌵 and a tunnel …

Our first hike right on our doorstep, and much more varied than expected. 😌
The Camiho Real do Paul do Mar – endless stairs; we're glad we didn't climb them – is actually closed. The sign is just at the bottom, not at the junction where we turned onto it. Picture 23 shows the reason for the closure.

June 20, 2024,Madeira 02: Paul do Mar "Der Mann aus dem Meer", Küstenroute mit 2 Gebirgspirouetten.

After yesterday's (for us 60s) somewhat longer levada hike, we wanted to spare our calves with a small coastal tour. 🥴😭😆 What can I say. 3x more ups and downs and steeper than in the mountains (approx. 1,200 meters in altitude total).

September 21, 2023,Paul do Mar - Raposera - Paul do Mar 🥵☀️😍🥾

A beautiful hike from Paul do Mar. Very steep and rocky. Good footwear is a must. Sticks recommended. But fantastic and nothing going on. Take enough water with you. Nice bar up in town 😊
