      There is a great view of the mountains here, at least when the clouds don't get stuck in the peaks (this often happens when there is a northerly wind).
      And please leave the poor finches alone. No, they won't starve if they are fed poor quality bread by dozens of people. People have a short-term feeling of happiness and the animals get sick as a result. And no bird will starve on Madeira, there is natural food in abundance.

        About 30 minutes on foot on flat ground you reach the balcony
