    At Baía D'Abra the road ends and the trail begins. At the roundabout, where the car park and bus stop are located, you can see the surroundings - which are spectacular.

    The starting point of the Baía d'Abra Trail marks the beginning of one of Madeira's most beautiful coastal paths. From here, you hike directly into the impressive volcanic landscape of Ponta de São Lourenço, accompanied by sweeping sea views and dramatic rock formations. An ideal starting point for a tour that showcases the wild eastern tip of the island in all its diversity.
