Hiking
The main path is comfortable, but relatively monotonous. Since you have to walk back and forth, you should choose in one direction the minimum detour over the backyards! For the way back this is now even signposted.

Hiking
The remote coastal area of Fajã Nova on Madeira's northwest coast presents itself as a tranquil natural gem: a narrow plain at the foot of steep cliffs stretches down to the sea, framed by ancient terraced fields and shaped by the untamed Atlantic. The journey there is via a spectacular path from the summit plateau of the "Achadas da Cruz" house, descending along rushing streams and steep trails—a place that impressively combines seclusion and unspoiled nature.
