This guide describes a varied selection of 57 walks on the
Portuguese island of Madeira, exploring the dramatic cliff
coastline, scenic levadas (irrigation channels), dense laurisilva
'cloud' forests and high mountain peaks, plus three walks on
neighbouring Porto Santo. There are routes to suit all abilities,
from easy, level levada walks to steep and rugged mountain paths -
some with exposed sections calling for a sure foot and good head
for heights. Since the steep terrain of Madeira does not easily
support circular walks, many of the routes are linear, however most
can be accessed by public transport and there is the option to link
routes to create longer outings and multi-day hikes. With a
favourable climate and striking scenery, Madeira is a fantastic
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.
Regular flights and ferries link Madeira with Porto Santo, which
boasts an exceptional sandy beach and pleasant, easy walking. The
guide also outlines a day-cruise to the nearby uninhabited Ilhas
Desertas. Comprehensive route description, overview statistics and
sketch mapping are provided for each walk. There is practical
advice on travel and transport, a basic map of central Funchal and
fascinating notes of Madeira's geology, history, plants and
wildlife. Useful contacts and a Portuguese-English glossary
(including a menu decoder) can be found in the appendices.
