    Hiking

    Old fortress high above Funchal. Unfortunately it is not possible to visit the fortress - it is still used by the Portuguese army. From the fortress but a magnificent view of Funchal. Here is a coffee that literally invites you to visit. If you have good eyesight, you can see the wicker sleds sliding down into the valley. You should definitely take a look here!
