A final short city tour in the beautiful, diverse capital of Madeira. Komoot often crashed (cache full), hence the slightly strange routes. But it should be enough for a few impressions and it was a short window of time without rain :) The city and Madeira in general are very beautiful and the prices

The last part of the island crossing was on the agenda. We took a taxi early to the last exit point and it apparently rained all day again, winter really broke in, it was cold, it rained as almost always and you couldn't see anything. Apparently, real snow fell on the Arrievo and Ruivo and it should

Although we had considered ending the Madeira Crossing due to the bad weather and especially the poor roads in São Vicente, we decided to finish the tour to Porto Moniz. Our things were dry again and we continued well-fed and in unexpectedly good weather. We started from our accommodation a few meters

The night in the tent was mediocre and it rained all night. Not a good prerequisite for the long descent again. But before that, it went up the mountain for about 300 meters on bad forest roads. The alternative route Madeira Crossing is partly put together without love and while the original route is

Part 3 of the Madeira Crossing Trail started at the parking lot near Pico Ruivo. As a bonus, we first hiked up Pico Ruivo to 1862 meters, Madeira's highest mountain. Unlike almost all the other trails (except the eastern headland), there were already many hikers out here despite the cloudy, windy, and

A lovely little hike. It started from the parking lot at São Jorge beach, past the ruins, and then along the cliff edge until just before a bridge. Crossing the bridge was a bit adventurous, and since the path ended beyond it, we climbed steeply back up the mountain. The paths were very pleasant and

We started around 9 where we had left off at the campsite. The weather was similar: very cloudy with no visibility, but at least it wasn't raining. The campsite looked much the same: wet and deserted. We began our descent at 1300 meters, initially climbing a short stretch on pleasant paths, followed

After the first hike from Machico to Carniçal, we continued on to the easternmost point of the island. We took a shuttle again; finding a parking spot by car would have been nearly impossible – it was clearly a major tourist destination. At the end, a food truck stopped, and the well-maintained and secured

We planned to hike a short trail on the eastern tip of the island and had devised a very nice route beforehand. We started again in Machico, where we had already begun the Madeira Crossing. From there, we first hiked up the local mountain in perfect weather, enjoying fantastic views of the town and the

A short and relaxing walk to finish off the day, this time even with good weather. 😉
Maybe you should have visited the Christ statue first. 🤔
